Former CFL bench boss Marcel Bellefeuille is the ‘clubhouse leader’ to be named the new head coach of the University of Ottawa football team, according to TSN 690’s Moe Khan.
Industry sources have told me that Pat Sheahan is staying at the University of Calgary.
As I mentioned on Friday, many believe Marcel Bellefeuille is the clubhouse leader for the uOttawa heading coach job.
