Winnipeg Blue Bombers News Release


WINNIPEG, MB - The Winnipeg Football Club has added another five years of CFL experience to their coaching ranks, announcing the hiring of Casey Creehan as the team's linebackers coach today.

Creehan joins the Blue Bombers' after spending last season as an assistant coach at Eastern Michigan University, coaching the defensive line. Prior to that, he was an assistant coach with the Montreal Alouettes in 2008, as the team's front seven coordinator. As a member of the Alouettes staff, Creehan helped the team make it to the Grey Cup final and the Alouettes finished second in the CFL in sacks and second in rush defence. Prior to his stint with Montreal, Creehan was the defensive line coach for four seasons with the Calgary Stampeders, from 2004-07, and was part of three CFL playoff appearances. In 2005, the Stampeders defence led the league in sacks and finished first in rush defence combined from 2004-2006.

Creehan began his college career at Lehigh University as a defensive assistant on the 1999 team that won the Patriot League championship. He moved to Southern Illinois University in 2000, to Clarion University in 2001-02, and from there was on the James Madison University staff for the 2003 and 2004 season where he was the defensive ends and special teams coach.

"I'm very excited to welcome Casey to the Blue Bomber organization. He knows the league and has a passion for it, he will be a real asset to us on the defensive side of the ball," said head coach Paul LaPolice.
