The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will add former coach and general manager Cal Murphy to the club’s Ring of Honour on July 30.<\/p>\n
Murphy, who died in 2012, helped guide Winnipeg to three Grey Cup championships during his tenure with the club from 1983-96, winning one as head coach and two as GM. He was twice named the CFL’s coach of the year.<\/p>\n
He will be honoured at halftime when the Blue Bombers host the B.C. Lions at Princess Auto Stadium.<\/p>\n
The Winnipeg-born Murphy finished his CFL career with nine Grey Cup championships, including five as a member of Edmonton’s coaching staff and one as an assistant coach in Montreal.<\/p>\n
He was inducted into the Winnipeg Football Club Hall of Fame in 2002 and the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2004.<\/p>\n
A statue of Murphy was unveiled outside the stadium in 2017, and the club’s annual Cal Murphy Heart of a Legend Award has been presented since 2001.\u2028<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will add former coach and general manager Cal Murphy to the club’s Ring of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":745400,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194296],"tags":[49,48,22073],"class_list":["post-745399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-winnipeg","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-winnipeg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=745399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/745399\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/745400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=745399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=745399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=745399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
