Ron Lancaster

On Thursday, September 18, Ron Lancaster, 69, died from an apparent heart attack, less than two months after being diagnosed with lung cancer.[3] Despite working in television, Lancaster returned to football as the Eskimos' head coach in 1991.[4] During his seven-season tenure as Edmonton's head coach, the Eskimos won the 1993 Grey Cup.[4] Lancaster resigned as the Eskimos' head coach after the 1997 season to become the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' head coach and director of football operations.
