Als lift Stewart to D-line coach
The Alouettes promoted Anwar Stewart to defensive line coach Tuesday. Stewart replaces Keith Willis, who was granted a release from the club to accept a coaching position with the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. Willis had spent three seasons with Montreal. Stewart played 11 seasons with the Alouettes, winning Grey Cups in 2002, 2009 and 2010. He was also the CFL’s top defensive player in 2004 and ranks second in club history with 66 sacks. He began his CFL coaching career with Montreal in 2014 as the team’s defensive quality-control coach. The Alouettes also named Paul Charbonneau as their running-backs coach.
