Live With CDP podcast, Guest: Tommy Condell, Season #3, Episode #4, (February 14th, 2022)

Tommy Condell was named Offensive Coordinator of the CFL's Hamilton Tiger-Cats May 13, 2019 after re-joining the team as Wide Receivers Coach January 16, 2019. He was elevated to Offensive Coordinator & Quarterbacks Coach February 6, 2020. In 2019, Condell oversaw an offence that posted league-leading rankings in numerous offensive categories despite losing starting quarterback and 2018 East Division Most Outstanding Player nominee Jeremiah Masoli in Week 7 to a season-ending injury. Second-year pro Dane Evans took over at quarterback for the remainder of the season and under Condell’s guidance, the Tiger-Cats finished first in the CFL in offensive points for (508), offensive points per game (28.2), offensive touchdowns (50), net offence (7,125 yards), net offence per game (395.8 yards), second down conversion percentage (tie-50.5%), average yards per play (6.84), first downs (398), passing yards (5,639), passing yards per game (313.3), average gain per pass (9.0 yards) and 30+ yard pass gains (31). As a result, Condell’s offence produced the CFL’s 2019 Most Outstanding Player in wide receiver Brandon Banks who led the league in all major receiving categories, including receptions (112), yards (1,550) and touchdowns (13). Banks’ 112 receptions also set a Tiger-Cats’ single-season franchise record. In addition, Chris Van Zeyl was named the league’s Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman and four offensive players were named 2019 CFL All-Stars, including Banks, Van Zeyl, wide receiver Bralon Addison and offensive guard Brandon Revenberg. Condell spent the previous two seasons with the Toronto Argonauts, serving as the club’s Offensive Coordinator and Receivers Coach in 2018, and Receivers Coach in 2017 where he was part of the team’s Grey Cup Championship season.
