WINNIPEG — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are looking for a new running backs coach after the team announced Saturday that Avon Cobourne will not return in 2017.

The Bombers announced in a press release that Cobourne is pursuing interests outside of football, while the search for his replacement is already under way.

Cobourne, 38, played seven seasons in the CFL with Montreal and Hamilton before joining the coaching ranks in 2014. After two seasons as the running backs coach with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, the Camden, N.J. native was hired by the Bombers in 2016.

The Bombers say their entire coaching staff is expected to be finalized in the next few weeks.
