Head coach Jason Maas is keeping the majority of his Montreal Alouettes staff intact this season.
All but one member of last year’s staff will return to Montreal in 2025, the CFL team announced Tuesday. The only newcomer is defensive assistant Bryan Wyllie, who was a former linebackers coach at Saint Mary’s University.
“I’m very happy that our coaches are back,” Montreal general manager Danny Maciocia said in a statement. “We have a group that works well together, and they have excellent chemistry.
“Everyone believes in our culture, which explains our success over the past few years.”
Maas heads into his third season as Montreal’s head coach. After winning a Grey Cup title in 2023, the Alouettes posted a CFL-best 12-5-1 regular-season record in 2024.
The remainder of Maas’s staff includes: Byron Archambault (assistant head coach, special-teams co-ordinator); Anthony Calvillo (offensive co-ordinator/quarterbacks coach); Noel Thorpe (defensive co-ordinator/defensive backs coach); Luc Brodeur-Jourdain (offensive line); Michael Lionello (receivers coach/pass game co-ordinator); Dave Jackson (running backs); Greg Quick (linebackers); Corvey Irvin (defensive line); and David Brown (offensive line assistant).
