The Ticats have hired Orlondo Steinauer as defensive coordinator. An announcement is expected later today.

Steinauer played defensive back for the Ticats from 1997-2000 as part of a 13-year CFL playing career. He's been a CFL assistant coach with the Argonauts for the past three seasons and served as interim defensive coordinator for 12 games in 2011.

Ticats DB Dee Webb, who played for Steinauer in Toronto, reacted positively to the news.

"Got my Coach that Taught me the @cfl game back on my side," he said via Twitter (@dawebb15.)
