    Re: So who would've thought....

    Estay is too good to stay as a position coach. He'll get a better job elsewhere...I'd say that it's a possibility of him coming here.

      Yes, the man who named his kids Swamp Puppy and Swamp Angel.

        There's only one Swampdog.

        He is long past due to come home.....

            All I can see is he seems to be an excellent welll liked coach on the D'line, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him make an even better D coordinator.

            BTW, it's 73-82 with the esks



            Ron Estay
            Defensive Line Coach
            Estay is entering his seventh coaching season with the Green and White. He will once again be in charge of the Roughriders' dominant defensive line, which includes All-stars Nate Davis and Scott Schultz.

            Estay won six Grey Cups with the Edmonton Eskimos and played in nine championship games. He was a member of the Eskimos from 1973 to 1982. Estay was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the 8th round in the 1972 NFL Draft. He originally signed with the B. C. Lions in 1972 but was released and joined Edmonton as a free agent. Estay played the 1983 and 1984 seasons with Washington Federals in USFL. During his career, Estay was a four time Western Division All-star and two-time all-Canadian. Estay was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2003 as recognition for his outstanding career. He was the Eskimo defensive captain from 1973 to 1976…1977 and 1980 all-pro CFL…1975 Schenley award nominee as best defensive lineman in the CFL…1974 tied CFL record for most sacks in a game with five…1975 Eskimo nominee as Most Outstanding defensive lineman…CFLPA Defensive Lineman of the Year.

            Estay played his college career at Louisiana State University and played in the 1971 East-West Shrine game after an outstanding season in 1971 when he was named first team all-American, AP and UPI second team all-American, all-Southern football team selection, first runner up Vince Lombardi award and named ABC Sports Television’s defensive player of the year. He entered the LSU Hall of Fame in 1988 and was inducted into Alberta Sports Hall of Fame in 2001. After his football career concluded with the Federals, Estay began his coaching career. He spent the 2000 season as defensive line coach at Liberty University after 12 years at Evangel University where he was defensive coordinator. The previous four years, Estay was Head Coach at Christian Life Academy after spending one year coaching at Jackson State high school following his player-coach days with Washington in 1984.

            In June of 2006 Estay was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame.

            Ron and his wife Debbie make Regina their home. The Estay’s have a son and a daughter and have one granddaughter, Danielle Katherine Michelle Estay.

                    Is DM a good head coach? No, but IMO it's ridiculous to give no credit to him when things go right and dump the blame on him for absolutely everything that goes wrong. Other than coaching what could be wrong with the eskimos? Hmm . . . could the o-line be leaky? Could Tucker be losing a step? Could Ray be coasting, knowing that he'll be the #1 as long as he plays so-so because of his past accomplishments? IMO there's more to look at than just Maciocia.
