The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are bringing Orlondo Steinauer back to Steeltown.
Steinauer was named assistant head coach of the CFL team on Thursday.
“This was a big decision for our family, and I’m unbelievably excited to join the Tiger-Cats and June Jones’ staff as his assistant head coach,” said Steinauer. “Our family has spent the vast majority of our lives in Southern Ontario together and the opportunity right now in Hamilton was perfectly aligned with my personal and professional priorities, which obviously include bringing a Grey Cup back to the great fans of the Tiger-Cats.”
Steinauer added, “This was certainly not an easy decision to leave the situation at Fresno State, which has been incredible. I want to thank all of the great people, players and coaches at Fresno State, who all contributed to a memorable season, to say the least.”
Hamilton’s former defensive co-ordinator held the same job last season with Fresno State and helped the Bulldogs to a 10-4 season and a victory in the Hawaii Bowl.
Steinauer had previously served four years on Kent Austin’s coaching staff in Hamilton (2013-16), originally joining the organization as defensive co-ordinator in 2013, before being promoted to assistant head coach and defensive co-ordinator in 2016.
