Mark Kilam

Should Hamilton go after Mark Kilam as special teams coach?

In a heartbeat, unless he gets hired as HC in Edmonton.

I don’t think so.

I would like to give Dennis McKnight a chance to really get a chance to cement his scheme this offseason. Hamilton had the better special teams performance throughout 2024 and Calgary coverage teams were rough in the last couple of weeks. At the end of the day, there is a reason Kilam was let go.

I wonder what that reason could be after 19 seasons coaching with the same team, including the last 9 as STC, with the added title of Assistant Head Coach through the past 5?

If Kilam ends up in Hamilton next year, BLM’s endorsement of him will be a big reason why. If Bo thinks Kilam will help us win, Hervey (or whoever our GM will be) will be convinced that that’s the case, and try to make it happen.

Yeah – so Dave can hire Craig to be STC. :wink:

Interesting scenario indeed and actually totally plausible .

No thank you.

No. He’s no better than McKnight. We need a returner not a coordinator

I guess, considering that no one has hired him yet speaks volumes

What coach has been hired? I don’t think any hirings will happen until after the GC.
