<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced Wednesday Austin has stepped down as their head coach to accept the offensive co-ordinator's position at Ole Miss. Austin played quarterback there from 1981 to 1985. "I struggled with this one pretty big time," Austin told the Canadian Press. "But it is my alma mater, I have a great love and affection for my university ... if it had been any other university, I wouldn't have considered it." Austin, who guided the Riders to a Grey Cup title last year in his first season as the club's head coach, met with new Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt about the vacancy last week. Roughriders' general manager Eric Tillman is also an alumnus of Ole Miss.</div> http://tsn.ca/cfl/news_story/?ID=227430&hubname=
