Monson spent 15 years in Calgary, including six as a defensive coordinator. The Hamilton, ON native served five years over two stints as linebackers coach (2010 and 2015-18), one year as defensive line coach (2011) and three years as running backs coach (2012-14). He also served as the team’s strength and conditioning coach from 2010-14.
The coordinator’s time with the Stampeders overlapped with Toronto’s head coach Ryan Dinwiddie, who was the quarterbacks coach in Calgary from 2016-2019.
Toronto won the 111th Grey Cup with a fierce defensive effort led by co-defensive coordinators Kevin Eiben and Will Fields, who took joint responsibility over the job after the departure of Corey Mace to the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
