BC Lions Retain Coaching Staff for 2024

“We are thrilled to retain our coaching staff. It’s a big step in our process of getting ready for 2024,“ Campbell said in his statement.

“This is a group of great teachers and quality people. The continuity allows us to evolve and grow as a team and to be prepared for the exciting season ahead.”

The BC Lions’ coaching staff is set up as follows:

• Rick Campbell – co-general manager/head coach
• Ryan Phillips – defensive coordinator/assistant head coach
• Jordan Maksymic – offensive coordinator
• Mike Benevides – special teams coordinator
• John Bowman – defensive line coach
• Travis Brown – linebackers coach
• Tanya Henderson – assistant defensive backs coach
• Jason Tucker – receivers coach
• Kelly Bates – offensive line coach
• Trysten Dyce – running backs coach
• Derek Oswalt – special teams assistant/video coordinator

Campbell is going to be entering his fourth season with the organization, recording a 29-21 overall record. He was previously with Ottawa for six seasons, winning the Grey Cup in 2016. BC has made the playoffs two straight seasons under Campbell.

Last year, the Lions went 12-6 and made the West Final before losing to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. With the coaching staff squared away, Campbell and his staff can shift their focus to free agency where they have 22 players who are pending free agents going into the offseason.
