It will be strange watching a CFL season next year with no team being coached by Wally Buono.

In a way, his presence in the CFL forged a stable steady tried-and-true link to so many decades of my life, and the lives of so many CFL fans.

Fare thee well, Wally Buono, in everything you do.

Formidable opponent of Hamilton and Montréal.

Winner of five Grey Cups.

And the most games by any coach in CFL history.
