The Montreal Alouettes will bring back five of their six assistant coaches from last season and have added two more, the CFL club announced Tuesday.
Only special teams co-ordinator and linebackers coach Daryl Edralin will not be back. The team said Edralin had family commitments.
His replacement is Cory McDairmid, a Nanaimo, B.C. native who has worked in recent years for B.C., Saskatchewan and Toronto.
The Alouettes also moved Andrew Garven, a native of Oakville, Ont., from the football operations department to the coaching staff.
Returning from last season to head coach Don Matthews' staff are offensive co-ordinators Doug Berry and Kevin Strasser, defensive co-ordinator Chris Jones, offensive line coach Steve McAdoo and special teams and defensive backs coach Noel Thorpe
