The 39-year-old led the Riders to a Grey Cup triumph on prairie soil in 2013, earning the franchise just its fourth CFL title since being established in 1910. During three-and-a-half seasons as head coach in Riderville, Chamblin posted a 29-34 regular season record while going 3-2 in the playoffs.

Chamblin was let go by the Riders midway through the 2015 season.

Chamblin will join the staff of new head coach Marc Trestman, whose hiring was announced last week.
