Former Rough Riders coach Joe Moss died last Tuesday at the age of 92. Selected by the LA Rams in the NFL Draft in 1952, he played for the Washington Redskins for a season. He then played for a year with the Rough Riders before heading south to coach several years at the U.S. college level. Moss’ coaching stops in the CFL included Saskatchewan, Toronto, Hamilton and Ottawa. Moss took over as Argos head coach midway through the 1974 season following the firing of John Rauch. He posted a 3-5-1 record before being replaced by Russ Jackson, but stayed on as defensive co-ordinator for two more seasons.
Moss was head coach for the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees in 1982. The next season, he was defensive co-ordinator for the Argos when they won the Grey Cup. Moss was hired as head coach of the Riders in 1985, posting a 7-9 record and going to the playoffs. He was fired late the next season with the team at 3-10. Moss continued to coach in the CFL until 1997; he was Ottawa’s defensive co-ordinator in 1996. He finished his coaching career in the Arena Football League.
