(Hamilton) The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced a major restructuring plan Tuesday, after president of football operations Orlondo Steinauer stepped down as head coach and Ed Hervey was promoted to general manager of the organization .
Steinauer had led the Ticats since 2019, and the team offered him a position within management in December 2021. He will remain at the head of football operations for the Ontario team.
The Tiger-Cats participated in the Gray Cup game in 2019 and 2021, losing to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on each occasion. Steinauer was named the CFL’s most outstanding head coach in 2019.
The Ticats lost to the Montreal Alouettes in the Eastern semi-finals the last two campaigns.
Hervey was hired as assistant general manager of the Tiger-Cats in December 2021. He spent four seasons as general manager of the Edmonton Elks (2013-16) and two more in the same capacity with the Lions of British Columbia (2018-19).
The Tiger-Cats have indicated they will hire a new head coach later this week.
