The Hamilton Tiger-Cats, who've failed to score a touchdown in three embarrassing home losses, fired offensive co-ordinator Joe Paopao and offensive line coach Kani Kauahi on Monday.

Interim coach Ron Lancaster, offensive assistant Perry Marchese and player-personnel director Craig Smith will now handle the offensive coaching duties, according to the team. The Ticats also expect to add another offensive coach soon.

"This was a difficult move to make," Lancaster said in a statement. "You're not going to find a pair of better guys in this league than Joe and Kani.

This marks the second coaching change this season for the Ticats. Last month, the team fired head coach Greg Marshall, who later returned to the Western Ontario Mustangs, his alma mater.

Hamilton, last in the CFL with a dismal 2-9 record, has lost its last three home games by a whopping 100-10 margin. The latest was a 51-8 drubbing at the hands of the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday night. Source.
