WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers today announce two additions to the club’s coaching staff. Marty Costello joins the organization as the club’s Assistant Offensive Line Coach, while Paul Boudreau comes on board as the club’s Special Teams Assistant. Head Coach Mike O’Shea will oversee special teams in 2016.
Costello spent the past two seasons at UW-Stevens Point as the Run Game Coordinator and Offensive Line Coach. In his first season there, the team put up 114.8 rushing yards per game, and was third in the conference with 14 rushing touchdowns.
Before UWSP, Costello coached at Valley City State. He started there as Co-Offensive Coordinator and Quarterbacks Coach, and for his final three seasons he was promoted to Offensive Coordinator and Offensive Line Coach. His team at Valley City State won three consecutive conference championships.
Boudreau has spent the past four seasons as the Assistant Special Teams Coach with the St. Louis Rams. In 2014, his squad was seventh in the NFL in punt coverage. One year earlier, his team paced the league, allowing just 2.6 yards per punt return.
Before jumping to the NFL, Boudreau spent 16 years coaching at the collegiate level. During that span, he coached quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs, as well as acting as Widener University’s Passing Game Coordinator.
