==College coaching and CFL career==
Finks served as an assistant coach under [[Terry Brennan]] at the [[University of Notre Dame]] in 1956, after which he went on to the [[Calgary Stampeders]] of the [[Canadian Football League]], where he served as a player/coach before becoming the general manager on October 31, 1957.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newspaperarchive.com/LandingPage.aspx?type=glpnews&search=general%20manager%20of%20the%20calgary%20of%20canadian%20football%20league&img=\\na0001\281056\3006944_clean.html|title = NewspaperArchive® &#124;.aspx historic newspaper articles including obituaries, births, marriages, divorces and arrests}}</ref> Finks turned the Stampeders into a winning team. He signed many of the players that made Calgary the winningest team in the CFL during the 1960s, though the team did not win a [[Grey Cup]] title until 1971. He also signed quarterback [[Joe Kapp]], who would also later play under Finks in the NFL.
