Don Matthews was one of the greatest CFL coaches ever. As commish I had to expect unexpected but he was a winner.

It's not that there will never be another character like Don Matthews ever again in pro football, it's that there can't be. One of a kind.

So sorry to hear of Don Matthews' passing. A genuine character, innovator, motivator and what a football coach. RIP, Coach.

Brash, confident winner…wherever he coached. One of a kind.

So sorry to hear of the passing of the legendary Don Matthews. Like anyone who covered him on a daily basis, we had our differences …

But at the end of the day, I believe we respected each other. I know he made me better. Don't know he would have said the same thing.

RIP Don Matthews. One of the greatest coaches & personalities the CFL has ever known. His legend endures, but he will undoubtedly be missed.

Think about this, CFL fans: 1982 Eskimo coaching staff featured HC Hugh Campbell and had Cal Murphy, Don Matthews as assistants. Legends all
