Over the last seven seasons, the Winnipeg native has been heavily involved with the Bison football program as the defensive coordinator and linebacker coach.

In his first three seasons, he revitalized a defense that was ranked last and led them to the top rank in the Canada West conference - including the Vanier Cup run in 2001.

Prior to the Bisons, Pierre was the defensive coordinator and linebacker coach for three seasons with Sturgeon Creek Collegiate from 1995-97. In his tenure, the team went from zero wins to five wins and reached the final four of the Winnipeg High School Football League.

Pierre played five football seasons with the Bisons. As a rookie in 1989, he tied for most sacks in Canada West. Pierre was a starter throughout his career and was named a Canada West All-Star in 1991.

Pierre earned his Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the University of Manitoba in 1994, and his Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) in 1997.
