MONTREAL -- Hec Crighton Trophy winner Kyle Quinlan has opted for a coaching job at McMaster University rather than take a shot at playing quarterback in the CFL. Montreal Alouettes general manager Jim Popp said Thursday that Quinlan, who signed a three-year contract in December, will not attend training camp. Agent Darren Gill said the quarterback has taken an unspecified coaching job at McMaster University. That was news to Popp. "He just informed us he wasnt going to play," Popp said. "He gave us some reasons outside of football. "We said the door was open if he ever changed his mind." Asked what reasons were given, the GM said "only he can answer that." Quinlan, 24, was not immediately available for comment. The six-foot-three quarterback threw 19 touchdown passes to lead McMaster to an 8-0 record last season before losing to Laval in the Vanier Cup. The Woodslee, Ont., native earned the Crighton Trophy as Canadian university footballs top player and was named CIS male athlete of the year. Popp said Quinlan had made his travel plans to Montreal and seemed eager to attend camp only two weeks ago, but "all of a sudden, he changed his mind." Canadian quarterbacks are rare in the CFL, and those who are drafted are often switched to other positions. But the Alouettes wanted to give Quinlan a chance to make the team as a quarterback. Only last week, Popp lauded the prospects deep passing ability during a pre-camp conference call. Montreals starter is 40-year-old Anthony Calvillo and the club signed veteran Quinton Porter to be the backup. They also have third-stringer Josh Neiswander as last years backup Adrian McPherson is no longer with the club. Popp said he will have to sign another quarterback before camp, which opens Sunday at Bishops University in Sherbrooke, Que. Quinlan and Acadia quarterback Kyle Graves attended Montreals camp last year but both were cut. The Alouettes also announced David Messier, former media relations chief for the InterBox boxing promotion company, has been hired as director of communications and branding.Jessie Bates III Womens Jersey .

A.J. Green Womens Jersey .Y. -- Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Wednesday that J.UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz has a few ideas for his next fight -- and none of them involve TJ Dillashaw.Cruz (22-1) was in attendance at UFC 200 last weekend in Las Vegas and witnessed Dillashaw pick up a decision win against Raphael Assuncao.Dillashaw (13-3) has already demanded a title fight against Cruz. The two already fought once this year. In January, Cruz reclaimed the 135-pound championship by narrowly defeating Dillashaw via split decision. Dillashaw believes judges robbed him on the scorecards.Cruz, who came off a 16-month layoff prior to defeat Dillashaw, doesnt see it that way and says he has absolutely zero interest in a rematch.I dont care about that m----------- at all, Cruz told ESPNs Five Rounds podcast. I beat that dude three years off the couch. He got me at 75 percent. So, the fact he thinks he beat me is nonsense.I dont need to prove anything to that guy. I dont really care about him. There are so many other fights that are extremely important.At the top of Cruz list is a featherweight fight against Jose Aldo (26-2), who won an interim featherweight championship by out-pointing Frankie Edgar at UFC 200. Aldo is dead set on unifying the 145-pound title against Conor McGregor, but Cruz said if that bout doesnt happen immediately for whatever reason, hed like to step in and attempt to win a belt in a second weight class.McGregor (19-3) is currently scheduled to fight Nate Diaz (19-10) in a non-title welterweight fight at UFC 202 on Aug. 20.Who knows? (McGregor) could get hurt in this fight against Diaz, Cruz said. Theyd need someone to fight for the interim title. Im willing to fight for the interim (featherweight) title and bring two belts together. Why not? I would do that in a heartbeat. Thats a much more fun, much bigger fight than anything neaar TJ Dillashaw.dddddddddddd Nobody cares about that guy.Or maybe Aldo gets hurt and Ill fight Conor. Lets go, you know what I mean? I can move up to 145 and be very competitive. Im extremely hard to hit, Im quick and Ive fought at 45 before. Im down for it because bringing two belts together to consolidate into one, not only has it not been done, its tough. Its a challenge. Its a fun, interesting matchup. Thats what people want to see right now.If an Aldo fight doesnt materialize, Cruz said hed also be interested in a super fight against dominant flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson (24-2-1). Johnson has recorded eight consecutive title defenses and is considered by some to be the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Cruz defeated him in a bantamweight title fight back in 2011.Him challenging himself to come up and fight me, while I beat him up for five rounds again -- to prove why Im the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet -- that hypes people up, Cruz said. Theyre saying hes the No. pound-for-pound best right now and I beat him for five rounds. So, that makes sense, too.Whether either fight is a realistic option for Cruz remains to be seen. Aldo wants McGregor. McGregor has said hell return to featherweight to fight Aldo after Diaz. And Johnson recently withdrew from a title defense against Wilson Reis on July 30 due to injury. Hes also stated he wants to break Anderson Silvas record of 10 consecutive UFC title defenses.Time will tell. But one way or another, Cruz is looking for a big fight -- and he doesnt believe Dillashaw represents that.Right now, for me, the guy (Dillashaw) youre talking about right now -- who is that? said Cruz.
