Who We Are
The Golden Bears Football Program consists of approximately 90 aspiring young men in search of both academic and athletic excellence. Success in both endeavors requires dedication, commitment, and focus as the competition in the classroom and on-field is second to none in our university and in our conference. The student-athletes are supported by over twenty support staff including coaches, trainers, medical support, academic advisors, and admin staff.
Coach Morris is dedicated to the student-athletes he serves and coaches. He is committed to ensuring all members of the team succeed in both their academic and athletic pursuits as well as being active and contributing members of their community. As a coach, educator, and teacher he is a leader in his field. In his first five years at University of Alberta he has developed an academic support system that has produced an over 95% academic retention rate and over 20 Academic All Canadians in 2017 alone. He was a team captain and played in five Grey Cup games with the Edmonton Eskimos, winning three (1993, 2003, and 2005), and is recognized on the Eskimos’ Wall of Honour in Commonwealth Stadium.
Currently 9 Golden Bears Alumni are playing the CFL, and 1 in the NFL.
4x Hardy Cup Champions.
3x Vanier Cup Champions.
