Montreal, Feb. 7, 2011 – Montreal Alouettes’ Vice President and General Manager Jim Popp and Head Coach Marc Trestman confirmed today the 2011 Alouettes’ coaching staff.
Daronte Jones completes the team’s coaching staff which is almost intact following the 2010 Grey Cup championship as he will take over the defensive backs’ unit. Tim Tibesar is the new defensive coordinator and will continue working with the linebackers as well. The other coaches who will be back in 2011 are assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Scott Milanovich, special teams coordinator, running backs coach and administrative assistant to the head coach Andy Bischoff, defensive line coach Mike Sinclair, receivers coach Marcus Brady, offensive line coach Jonathan Himebauch, offensive and special teams assistant Carson Walch and defensive assistant Jean-Marc Edme.
Jones was a defensive assistant with the UCLA Bruins in the NCAA last season. He had previously spent five seasons (2005-09) as an assistant head coach and defensive coordinator with the Bowie State University Bulldogs. In his last year in Bowie State, the Bulldogs’ defence ranked first in the country in NCAA division II.
