Condell is entering his sixth season with the Ticats over two separate stints (2013-15, 2019-present), where he has appeared in four Grey Cups (2013, 14, 19, 21). In 2021 Condell’s offence picked up wins with three different starting quarterbacks, Jeremiah Masoli (4), Dane Evans (2) and David Watford (2) after both Masoli and Evans missed significant time due to injury. In addition to the quarterbacks, the offence also overcame the loss of 2019 CFL All-Star receiver Bralon Addison, who only appeared in three games due to injury and offensive lineman Kay Okafor, who opened the season as the starting left tackle but only appeared in eight games due to injury.
Condell’s offence produced the East Division’s nominee for Most Outstanding Lineman, Brandon Revenberg, who was nominated for the second time in his career and was named a CFL All-Star. Additionally, receivers Tim White, Jaelon Acklin and offensive lineman Chris Van Zeyl were all named CFL East Division All-Stars.
Washington is entering his third season as the defensive coordinator in Hamilton, after originally joining the team in 2019. His defence followed up a historic campaign in 2019 with another solid showing in 2021, posting the league’s best run defence which held opponents to a league-low in rushing yards (1,115), rushing yards per game (79.6), rushes over 10 yards (28) and rushes over 20 yards (2) as well as leading the league in interceptions (17) and interception return touchdowns (3). Washington’s defence produced the 2021 East Division’s Most Outstanding Defensive Player, Simoni Lawrence, who was nominated for the second consecutive season as well as three CFL All-Stars including Lawrence and defensive backs Jumal Rolle and Cariel Brooks.
