HAMILTON – The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced a major restructuring plan Tuesday, with president of football operations Orlondo Steinauer relinquishing his head coaching duties and Ed Hervey being promoted to general manager.
Steinauer had been the Ticats head coach since 2019, with the team adding front-office duties to his role in December 2021. He will retain his role leading the football operations department.
The Tiger-Cats were Grey Cup finalists in 2019 and 2021, losing to Winnipeg both times. Steinauer was named the CFL’s coach of the year in 2019.
Hamilton lost to Montreal in the East semifinal in each of the last two seasons.
Hervey was hired as an assistant general manager in Hamilton in December 2021. He spent four seasons as Edmonton’s GM (2013-16) and two seasons in the same role with B.C. (2018-19).
The Tiger-Cats say a new coach will be named later in the week.
