Matt Dunigan (born December 6, 1960) is a former quarterback, coach, and executive in the Canadian Football League (CFL) who is a CFL sportscaster for Canadian sports television channel TSN. In 2006, Dunigan joined the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, and was voted one of the CFL's Top 50 players (#39) of the league's modern era by Canadian sports network TSN.
In 2008, he was named the host of Road Grill, a Canadian barbecue cooking series on Food Network Canada.
Although born in Ohio, Dunigan was raised in Dallas, Texas, attended Lake Highlands High School (Class of 1979), and grew up admiring Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach. A member of an athletically-inclined family, he attended Louisiana Tech, a school that served as the launching pad for Terry Bradshaw and other future professional quarterbacks such as Luke McCown, and Tim Rattay. Dunigan was inducted into the Louisiana Tech University Athletic Hall of Fame in 2011.
Dunigan broke into the CFL in 1983 with the Edmonton Eskimos. In his rookie season, he backed up Warren Moon. Prior to the 1984 CFL Season, Moon left for the NFL's Houston Oilers and the Eskimos became Dunigan's team. He led the Eskimos to back-to-back Grey Cup appearances in 1986 and 87, winning in 1987. He had to watch most of the game from the bench due to injury. His backup during this time was another CFL legend in the making, Damon Allen.
