Jimmy Quinlan, as promised, is the Saskatchewan Rush new head coach.
Quinlan, officially named the Saskatchewan Rush head coach and associate general manager on Wednesday, has known for months that the job was his — ever since he was hired as the interim co-coach, replacing the fired Jeff McComb, late last season.“ and I have been working quite a bit this off-season. I was under the assumption he was going to keep his word, and he kept his word. That means a lot. What I’ve learned from him is honesty is one of the most important traits you can have as a leader.
He’s now the head man behind the bench, and is learning the fine art of being a GM from Keenan, a long-time mentor. “That’s been the piece I’ve spent a lot of this off-season on — looking through other teams’ rosters and seeing who might be available, and who we may be interested in,” he said.
