Defensive Backs Coach

CFL: 2nd season
Stamps: 2nd season

Missick is in his second season as the coach of Calgary's secondary.

In 2011, the Calgary defensive backs — a unit that featured only one returning starter — led the league with 423 interception return yards and ranked second in yards allowed per pass (7.7) and fewest completions allowed (347).

One of Missick's players, safety Demetrice Morley, was Calgary's nominee for the Most Outstanding Rookie award while halfback Keon Raymond was named to the CFL West all-star team.

Prior to joining the Stampeders, he had extensive coaching experience in arena football and the U.S. college ranks.

He started his coaching career in 2000 as defensive coordinator of the Richmond Speed in af2. He held the same position with the Norfolk Knights in 2001 before being named the Knights’ head coach the following season. He was also head coach of the Cincinnati Jungle Kats in 2007 and spent a total of nine seasons in the league.

In 2008, Missick joined Saint Paul’s College, a Div. II school in Lawrenceville, Va., and served as linebackers coach and assistant head coach for the Tigers.

During his playing career, Missick attended at the University of Kentucky in 1988 and 1989 before turning pro with the National Football League’s Philadelphia Eagles. He went on to play five seasons in the Arena Football League and amassed 197 tackles and 12 interceptions during that time.

A Miami native and Atlanta resident, Missick is married to Valerie Davis.
