Doug Malone - Offensive Line Coach
Doug enters his first season with the Lions and brings a notable coaching resume to the club after serving as the offensive line coach for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2013 and 2014 as well as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2012 and 2011.
Last season, Malone’s work with the Green and White helped running back Anthony Allen notch 930 rushing yards, second to only Calgary’s Jon Cornish and the third-highest team total with 2,380 yards along the ground. Doug’s move to BC also reunites him with offensive coordinator George Cortez with whom he won the Grey Cup with in 2013. That same year, Malone’s offensive line cleared the way for quarterback Darian Durant who threw for 4,154 yards and running back Korey Sheets who piled-up 1,598 rushing yards as well as a Grey Cup MVP award.
Prior to his time in the CFL, Malone spent three seasons as offensive coordinator at Presbyterian College (’08-’10) as well as one season as the school’s interim head coach. His time at Presbyterian was preceded by one season as the offensive coordinator at Western Carolina (2007).
Malone’s first taste of the Canadian Football League came in 2010 when he was a guest coach of the Calgary Stampeders during training camp.
A native of Greenville, Tennessee, Malone’s decorated NCAA coaching career includes an impressive 13-year stint at Wingate University (1986-98) the final five of which were as head coach. Other stops include Tennessee Tech (‘99-‘06) and Cal State-Northridge (’83-’85).
Malone holds a bachelor's degree in physical education and health from Carson-Newman College and a master's degree in sports sciences from the United States Sports Academy. He and his wife Jenny, have two daughters, Megan and Molly and one son, Derek. They also have two granddaughters, Kenry and Ruthie.
