CFL great Andrew Harris returns to football as Roughriders running backs coach [Video]

Given all the times he matched up on the other side of the field for Labour Day Classics and Banjo Bowls, Andrew Harris needed a moment the first time he put on merch of his new CFL club — wearing Saskatchewan Roughrider green and white for the very first time.

“Yeah I’m not going to lie to you, the first time I put that green sweater on I had to do, not a double-take, but a triple- or quadruple-take in the mirror,” said Harris. “It was a little strange.”

It’s certainly a strange sight to see the 38-year-old sporting the colours of what used to be his most bitter rival, but the five-time CFL all-star is now fully on board with the Roughriders as the team’s new running backs coach.

Harris has been working to prepare the team’s group of tailbacks ahead of kickoff for the 2025 season after one year away from the game.
