The Laval Rouge et Or football team played under head coach, Jacques Chaperdine for three years before Glen Constantin was promoted to head coach from defenseive coordinator.
The following year, Jacques Chapdelaine was hired to become the team's head coach. Tanguay invested heavily into the football program as the Rouge et Or began their first season in 1996, one year after the National Hockey League's Quebec Nordiques had left Quebec City to relocate to Colorado. Chapdelaine left the program following the 2000 season to continue his coaching career in the Canadian Football League. In 2001, current head coach Glen Constantin was promoted from his defensive coordinator position and led the team to 53 record and another Dunsmore Cup.
