TICATS UNVEIL STAFF

HAMILTON, Ont. (CP) – Head coach Kent Austin’s staff with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats is staying pretty much intact.

Austin unveiled his 2014 staff Wednesday with Marcello Simmons the lone new addition as defensive and special-teams assistant. As well, John Zamberlin will serve as an assistant special-teams coach and U.S. scout after two seasons as the club’s linebackers coach.

Jeff Reinebold returns as special-teams co-ordinator and will also serve as linebackers coach.

The other returnees include Tommy Condell (offensive co-ordinator, receivers coach), Orlondo Steinauer (defensive co-ordinator), Allen Rudolph (offensive line coach), Corey Grant (running backs coach, offensive quality control), Dennis McPhee (defensive line coach) and James Stanley (defensive backs coach).

Austin guided Hamilton to a 10-8 record and second-place finish in the East Division in his first season as the team’s head coach and GM. The Ticats defeated Montreal and Toronto in the East Division playoffs before losing 47-23 to Saskatchewan in the Grey Cup.

This team will definetly take a step back this season. Lost two starting o-linemen and two starting LB's with no replacements in sight. Butler will play Safety there so if they're thinking Abe Kromah isn't going to start and stay healthy, they are in for a surprise. Even when healthy the last two years, he wasn't good enough to see the field. Also, cut the leading QB from the last two seasons and replaced with a rather "wet behind the ears" QB with 10 games under his belt. O-line and QB are the two most important positions in this league… Read more »

I am completely fascinated by the sudden hatred for Hamilton on here. Obviously, we as Rider fans must see them as a threat or we wouldn't be bashing them all the time. First of all, it is good for the league when Hamilton is strong. Second, you could give Kent Austin 45 kids from the grade 10 math club and at the end of the day, he will win at least one playoff game.

To predict a step backward shows a blind opinion or a lack of knowledge on Austin.
