Former DEA Franchise GM Jim Cloutier Dies

Posted by Chris Cloutier on Apr 11 2007 at 05:00PM PDT
Jim Cloutier, one-time GM of the Cote Improvements & Bedford Soccer Club franchises that were forebearers of today's DEA Conglomorate, died recently after a short illness. He was 67. Mr. Cloutier, the patriarch of the trio of Cloutiers who roamed the pitch for much of the 80's and 90's, ruled with an iron fist. Content to silently sit on the sidelines with his Black Russians in his hand, he would save his words of wisdom for after the matches. His personna was similar to that of the Raiders leader, Al Davis. He coined the phrase "Just win, goddammit." Cloutier spent countless hours in the Caribbean in search of the speed and tenacity that was sometimes missing from the franchise. We are not sure if he ever actually signed anyone on these missions, but he certainly spent a lot of time looking. Of course, much of that time was only looking from a beach chair, but he looked nonetheless. Cloutier was one of the only non-playing members to be allowed to wear DEA apparel, and he wore it proudly. He will be sorely missed by many.
