The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced on Monday they
have signed George Cortez to become the team’s Offensive Coordinator.
Cortez joins the Riders after spending last season
with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as Head Coach and Director of Football Operations.
The native of Port Arthur, Texas brings over three
decades of coaching experience to the green and white, including 19 seasons in
the CFL with four Grey Cup championships. This will be Cortez’s second stint in
Saskatchewan after spending the 2006 season as Offensive Line Coach.
Beyond that, the veteran coach had spent two seasons
with the Buffalo Bills as Quarterbacks Coach and four seasons in the NCAA as an
offensive coach at the University of California-Berkley.
Last season’s Offensive Coordinator, Bob Dyce, remains
with the team.
