Paul Boudreau | Hamilton Tiger-Cats

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have unveiled their completed coaching staff for the 2024 season, including the addition of veteran special teams coordinator Paul Boudreau.

Boudreau had spent the past seven seasons with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, dating back to 2017. He helped the team reach the past four consecutive Grey Cups, winning two during his tenure. During his time in Winnipeg, the Bombers were one of the most innovative and consistent special teams units in the CFL, leading the league by blocking three kicks, finishing with the third fewest penalties and six return touchdowns.

In 2017, Boudreau’s special teams unit allowed the fewest return TDs and had the second highest average kickoff yards in the CFL.

Prior to joining the Bombers, Boudreau spent four seasons as the assistant special teams coach with the St. Louis Rams. In 2014, his squad was seventh in the NFL in punt coverage. One year earlier, his team paced the league, allowing just 2.6 yards per punt return.

Before jumping to the NFL, Boudreau spent 16 years coaching at the collegiate level. During that span, he coached quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs, as well as acting as Widener University’s Passing Game Coordinator.
