Tommy Condell, a native of Utica, N.Y., is in his first season as offensive coordinator at Southeastern and is responsible for all aspects of the offensive team and staff. Condell comes to Hammond with over a decade of coaching experience at the professional and collegiate level.
Condell has spent the past three seasons as a coach in the Canadian Football League and served as the offensive coordinator for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2006. Prior to that, he was the pass game coordinator and coached both receivers and quarterbacks for two seasons with the Ottawa Renegades.
During his time in Ottawa, Condell handled all the play calling duties for the Renegades. Under his direction, quarterback Kerry Joseph became the third player in CFL history to pass for 4,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in the same season. In addition, wide receiver Jason Armstead set a new Renegade standard for receiving yards in a single season.
Condell is no stranger to the state of Louisiana or the Southland Conference. Before heading north of the border, Condell spent time at Louisiana-Monroe (2001-03), Stephen F. Austin (1999-2001) and McNeese State (1998).
Condell served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at ULM for his final two seasons in Monroe and was the fourth-youngest offensive coordinator in Division I-A. In those two seasons, the Indian offense produced a 46 percent increase in scoring per game and a 36 percent increase in total yards per contest. In 2002, the team produced a 2,000-yard passer, 1,000-yard receiver and 1,000-yard rusher in the same season for only the second time in school history.
In 2001, he served as ULM’s special teams coordinator. ULM improved upon its kick return and punting averages under Condell’s watch.
At SFA, Condell was the pass game coordinator and receivers coach for three seasons and was responsible for all in-game play calling. In 1999, Condell’s troops won the Southland Football League title. In 2000, the unit led the SFL in first downs and third-down conversion rate, while ranking second in the league in total offense and scoring.
McNeese State advanced to the I-AA Playoffs during Condell’s one season as tight ends and offensive line coach in Lake Charles. Condell was responsible for scripting plays and coached All-SFL tight end Pat Matthews.
Other stops for Condell include seasons with the CFL’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the Albany Firebirds of the Arena League, Hamilton College and Illinois Wesleyan University.
Condell also played collegiately at Lock Haven University and Cortland State, where he was a part of two ECAC championship squads. Condell earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from S.U.N.Y. at Cortland and his master’s degree in kinesiology from Stephen F. Austin.
Condell is married to the former Mandy Sciba. The couple resides in Hammond with their two sons, Caleb (1) and Luke (born May 7, 2007).
