Call your local meteorologist: Marc Mueller projects nothing but sunny skies and balmy conditions in Saskatchewan \u2014 no matter what the thermometer says.<\/p>\n

After winning the 112th Grey Cup, the Roughriders\u2019 offensive coordinator can experience the type of offseason that he heard stories about as a child while sitting at the knee of his grandfather, legendary quarterback Ron Lancaster.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s awesome. I used to hear him say that it didn\u2019t matter how cold the winter between \u201966 and \u201967 was because it was the best winter ever, and hopefully that\u2019s what it\u2019s like this time,\u201d Mueller told 3DownNation while walking off the confetti-laden field at Princess Auto Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is unbelievable to be a part of the organization where my grandpa won a Grey Cup. My dad won the second one as the assistant general manager in \u201989. It\u2019s unreal, and I\u2019m happy that a whole bunch of really good people believed in me to be in this position.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saskatchewan has hoisted the championship trophy just five times in the organization\u2019s 115-year history. With the Green and White\u2019s 25-17 victory over the Montreal Alouettes in Winnipeg, a member of Mueller\u2019s immediate family has been involved in 60 percent of those titles, dating back to the very first one.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, I\u2019m happy to win this game and to be a part of this group. And if they let me be one forever, I\u2019d love to be one,\u201d Mueller said about his future with the Riders.<\/p>\n

The former University of Regina quarterback has already won a pair of Grey Cups in his career, both as an assistant coach with the Calgary Stampeders<\/a>. This one was unique, allowing him the opportunity to build off the legacy of his grandfather, whose statue stands outside Mosaic Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the ball got knocked down, we realized we were gonna win because the CFL is crazy. That\u2019s a good football team, and that\u2019s a well-coached team in Montreal. Hats off to them, too. It feels amazing. Proud of everybody. These guys work hard. They deserve it. This is great. It\u2019s awesome,\u201d Mueller said.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old has called offensive plays for his 39-year-old QB for two seasons, including during his 112th Grey Cup MVP performance<\/a>. The six-foot-three, 212-pound passer completed 23-of-27 passes for 302 yards and set a championship game completion percentage record at 85.2.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, personally, he means everything. I\u2019m so grateful that I got to meet Trevor Harris<\/a>, that I got to work with him, that I got to be his coach, that I got to be his friend. He\u2019s amazing. I\u2019m so grateful that I got to be his teammate,\u201d Mueller said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took us a little bit to find our rhythm. Once we did, I knew it was a matter of time before we\u2019d start blowing the lid off. We left some plays out there as always; it\u2019s tackle football, pro football. They\u2019re a very, very good defence, and I couldn\u2019t have more respect for [Noel] Thorpe as a D coordinator, but we got it done. Marc Mueller\u2019s the man,\u201d Harris said post-game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Courtesy: Piper Sports Photography.
