On Friday, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced that head coach Orlondo Steinauer will take on additional duties as the President of Football Operations.
Hamilton Tiger-Cats CEO Scott Mitchell on Steinauer’s role said. “From the day Orlondo Steinauer joined the Tiger-Cats as a coach in 2013, he’s had a dramatic impact on the organization. In his seven years with us, we’ve had seven straight home playoff games, six East Division Finals, and four Grey Cup appearances. While that success speaks for itself, it’s off the field where Orlondo has made his biggest contribution to the Tiger-Cats.”
Mitchell added, “Orlondo is a special person with a wonderful family and has established a winning and meaningful culture that ensures our players, coaches, staff, and fans feel valued and appreciated. Orlondo and I have spoken for years about an expanded role, and Bob Young and I are thrilled that he has accepted this new role and responsibility and know he will do a tremendous job.”
This year, Steinauer led the Tiger-Cats to an 8-6 record that included a trip to their second straight Grey Cup championship against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Steinauer wrapped up his second season as the Tiger-Cast coach with an overall record of 23-9.
Steinauer on being named President of Football Operations said. “It’s hard to put a sentence together to describe how grateful and excited I am for this expanded role with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. I’m looking forward to continuing to assist in carrying on the rich pride and tradition of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Football Club.”
In addition to Steinauer’s role, the Tiger-Cats named Drew Allemang Assistant General Manager & Director of Canadian Scouting, Spencer Zimmerman Assistant General Manager & Director of Player Personnel, Ed Hervey Assistant General Manager & Senior Advisor to the President of Football Operations, and Rich Massaro Assistant director of player personnel and football operations.
