Tommy Condell resigns as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats offensive co-ordinator

HAMILTON – Tommy Condell has resigned as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats offensive co-ordinator.

Kent Austin, Hamilton’s head coach and vice-president of football operations, confirmed the move in a statement Monday.

“Tommy has expressed his need to take this action as serving the best interests of his family,” Austin said.

Austin hired Condell shortly after joining the Ticats in 2012. The two had spent three seasons coaching together at Cornell University.

Hamilton reached the Grey Cup during Condell’s first two years with the club. The Ticats lost to the Ottawa Redblacks in last season’s East Division final.

“He did an outstanding job with us and was an important part of the winning culture we have put in place here,” Austin said. “I cherish my relationship with Tommy and that goes beyond coaching.

“He will always be my friend. My trust and respect for him is and will always be extremely high. We coached together for six years, but our relationship goes deeper than that.”
