The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are expected to hire Tommy Condell as their offensive coordinator for the 2026 season, sources have confirmed to 3DownNation. Arash Madani was the first to report the news.
The longtime CFL assistant coach was the offensive coordinator with the Ottawa Redblacks for the past two seasons. In 2025, his unit finished sixth in net offence (338.5), eighth in offensive points (22.1), and ninth in yards per play (5.99), but was second in time of possession (30.59). He was not retained following the season.
Condell worked closely with franchise quarterback Zach Collaros when he was the offensive coordinator of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats from 2013 to 2015. The team reached back-to-back Grey Cup games in his first two seasons, and led the CFL in net offence with Collaros at the helm in 2015.
The 54-year-old’s first CFL coaching job came with the Blue Bombers back in 1997 as their special teams coordinator. He has also spent time as an offensive coordinator with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Toronto Argonauts, and previously held assistant roles with Hamilton, Toronto, and the Ottawa Renegades.
The Blue Bombers’ offence was led by first-year play-caller Jason Hogan in 2025, who drew criticism from players and fans alike. It remains unclear if Hogan is under contract with Winnipeg for next year, as head coach Mike O’Shea recently declined to address the status of his assistants.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers finished fourth in the West Division standings in 2025 with a 10-8 record, qualifying for the playoffs as the crossover team before losing the East Semi-Final to the Montreal Alouettes. Zach Collaros threw for 3,048 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions over 13 regular-season games, going 6-7 as a starter.
The Blue Bombers ranked fifth in net offence, third in net defence, and eighth with a turnover differential of minus-eleven. The club’s leading rusher was Brady Oliveira with 1,163 yards, the leading receiver was Nic Demski with 1,001 yards, and the leading tackler was Tony Jones with 104 tackles. Winnipeg ranked first in attendance with average crowds of 32,343, which was a 3.7 percent increase from the previous year.
