Carabins hire legendary ex-quarterback Anthony Calvillo as assistant coach
MONTREAL — Anthony Calvillo is returning to his adopted home.
The Canadian Football Hall of Fame quarterback accepted a position as assistant head coach of the Montreal Carabins U Sports program under head coach Danny Maciocia on Wednesday.
Maciocia was a member of the Montreal Alouettes coaching staff when Calvillo began his 16-year run with the team in 1998.
This past year, Calvillo, 46, served as quarterbacks coach for the Toronto Argonauts under former Alouettes head coach Marc Trestman, who was fired following the season. Before that, the Los Angeles native was an assistant coach with the Alouettes following his retirement in 2014.
