Hugh Campbell, who led the Edmonton Eskimos to four straight victories in the Grey Cup -- Canada's equivalent of the Super Bowl -- will reportedly coach Los Angeles' entry in the United States Football League.

Campbell, a former All-American player who has coached Edmonton to Grey Cup victories since 1977, will move to the USFL at the end of the Canadian Football League's current season, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.

He was an All-America wide receiver at Washington State in the early 1960s and caught 60 touchdown pases in a six-year career with Saskatchewan. Campbell served as assistant coach at Washington State for two years and became head coach at Edmonton in 1977.
