Hamilton Sacks Paopao and Kauahi

Hamilton, Ontario - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced today that offensive coordinator Joe Paopao and offensive line coach Kani Kauahi have been relieved of their duties with the team.

The Ticats offensive responsibilities will now be assumed by interim head coach Ron Lancaster, offensive assistant Perry Marchese and director of player personnel Craig Smith.  The team expects to add another offensive coach in the near future. 

"This was a difficult move to make," said Lancaster.  "You're not going to find a pair of better guys in this league than Joe and Kani.  Unfortunately, our offence has not performed at a level that we had expected this season, so after much deliberation we felt it was in our best interest to make a change."
