Stamps: 12th season

In 11 seasons with DelMonaco as offensive line coach, the Stamps have never finished lower than third in fewest sacks allowed.

DelMonaco joined the Stamps in 2014 after spending the previous four seasons as the offensive line coach for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Under DelMonaco, members of the Blue Bombers offensive line earned a total of five division all-star honours.

In DelMonaco’s first year as Calgary’s offensive line coach, left tackle Stanley Bryant and centre Brett Jones were CFL all-stars as they helped the Stampeders lead the league with 143.9 rushing yards per game.

The Stampeders did not allow a single sack in the 102nd Grey Cup game as Calgary beat Hamilton to win the seventh title in franchise history.

In 2015, the offensive line paved the way for three different tailbacks to record 100-yard games. Pierre Lavertu and Spencer Wilson were West Division all-stars.

The Stamps allowed the fewest sacks in the CFL for a third consecutive season in 2016. Two members of the offensive line — Derek Dennis and Spencer Wilson — were named CFL all-stars and Dennis was voted the league’s Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman.

In 2017, Ucambre Williams became the team’s starting centre despite limited experience at the position and was Calgary’s nominee for the CFL’s Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman award.

In 2018, the Calgary offensive line tied for the league lead in fewest sacks allowed with 27 and Dennis earned West Division all-star honours. The Stamps allowed just one sack in a win over Ottawa in the Grey Cup championship game.

In 2019, Calgary allowed the second-fewest sacks in the CFL with 34. Offensive lineman Shane Bergman was the Stamps’ nominee for Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman and earned West Division and CFL all-star recognition.

The Stampeders allowed just 20 sacks in 2021 – the second-lowest total in the league – despite nine different offensive linemen making a start including four who were making their first starts of their careers. In DelMonaco’s first season with the additional of offensive coordinator, three different offensive players were named West Division all-stars – running back Ka’Deem Carey, centre Sean McEwen and receiver Kamar Jorden. McEwen was also a CFL all-star.

In 2022, the Stampeders led the CFL with 562 points scored and 135.3 rushing yards per game. Calgary allowed just 17 sacks, 12 fewer than the next-best team in that category. Three members of the offensive line – Dennis, McEwen and right guard Ryan Sceviour – made the West Division all-star team along with receiver Malik Henry and CFL rushing champion Carey. Three Stampeders – Dennis, McEwen and Carey – were named to the CFL all-star team.

The Calgary offence boasted a pair of West all-stars in 2023 including receiver Reggie Begelton and McEwen. Begelton was also a CFL all-star. Injuries forced the team to use 10 different starting offensive linemen over the course of the season but Calgary nevertheless managed to allow the third-fewest sacks in the league.

Begelton repeated his accomplishments as a division and league all-star in 2024.

DelMonaco came to the CFL in 2010 after a seven-year stint at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He was RPI’s offensive line coach for two seasons (2003-04) and the offensive coordinator for five years (2005-09).

He previously had stops at Hudson Valley Community College and as a graduate assistant at the University of Illinois. DelMonaco played offensive line for four seasons at the University of Albany and was a captain during his senior season. The Great Danes won two conference championships during DelMonaco’s Albany career.

DelMonaco and his wife Kelly have two children — Julia and Pasquale III.
