Warren Moon says he is not at all surprised by Rick Campbell's success with the Redblacks.

“Rick was a young kid when I was in Edmonton. I don’t even think Rick was in high school yet,” Moon recalled on Thursday evening after his appearance at Mark’s CFL Week with fellow quarterbacks Anthony Calvillo and Mike Reilly.
Rick Campbell was eight-years old when he first met Moon, who of course was playing for Rick’s dad, Eskimos’ coach Hugh Campbell. The Campbell family left Edmonton in 1983 when Hugh pursued a USFL opportunity, then reunited with Moon in Houston with the Oilers, where Hugh was the head coach for the 1984 and 1985 seasons.
“He was always around practice, he was almost like a gym rat,” Moon said of Rick Campbell. “It didn’t surprise me that he got into coaching, following his dad’s footsteps. ...

“I followed his career when he got into coaching and all the different moves he made. Me and Hugh Campbell are still close and we always talk about what our families are doing. He always kept me up to speed on what Rick was doing, on what Molly (who works for the Calgary Stampeders) was doing and just about everybody in his family. It’s great that he’s having that type of success and it doesn’t surprise me because the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
Now 44, Rick Campbell is heading into his 17th year of coaching in the CFL, his fourth as the head coach of the Ottawa REDBLACKS. ...

“What a great accomplishment, not only for Rick being in his first Grey Cup, but for Henry too, being in his last game. What a way to leave the CFL and leave your career, winning the Grey Cup and being the MVP.
“I was happy for him because I’d known Henry a long time. I went to some of his camps in the summer that he had for kids in Calgary. He’s moved around to a lot of different places, but to end your career like that, that’s the way you want to walk off. You want to walk off as a champion and walk off healthy.”
