The Calgary Stampeder Football Club announced today that Sr. VP of Football Operations/Head Coach Tom Higgins has been relieved of his position.

"On behalf of the Calgary Stampeder Football Club's Ownership Group; management; coaches; players and the entire Calgary Stampeder family, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tom Higgins for his commitment to the Club and the Canadian Football League over the past three years," said Managing Partner /President Ted Hellard. "Our hope was that Tom would accept an Executive Vice-President position within the organization. However, we respect and appreciate Tom's passion to remain on the football field. We wish Tom success and good luck in his future endeavors."

Tom joined the Stampeders in 2005, finishing his three year tenure with a 28-25-1 regular season record and was 0-3 in the post season. Before joining the Stampeders, Higgins led his team to three Western Finals and two Grey Cup appearances as a head coach.

Tom is such a classy guy. I enjoyed having him here in Calgary. Its too bad how the Stampeders treated him in the last month of the season. Its good they apologized to him about it though and offered him being the President of the team to make up for it, but of course he didnt go for it.

Im hoping we do get John Hufnagel as a coach as its being rumoured...If not, this will be a big slap in our face.
