Steff Kruck - Quarterbacks Coach

Entering his fourth season with the Lions as the club’s quarterbacks coach, Steff Kruck’s extensive work with Jarious Jackson last year allowed the club to continue its winning ways while fighting through injuries at the pivotal position. Jackson’s development under Kruck’s direction spurred the third-year Lion to a breakout campaign in 2007 leading the club to a 9-2 record after stepping in as the starter at the midway mark of the regular season.

Kruck joined the Lions from Kutztown University, where he was the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator in 2004. He was also the school’s recruiting coordinator.

From 1993 to 2003, Kruck was the offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator at West Chester University. During his tenure with the Golden Rams, the team’s pass offence ranked fifth nationally in NCAA Division II. Kruck’s quarterbacks led the nation in total offence in 1998 and followed it up with an impressive 1999 campaign as they led Division II in team passing.

Prior to joining West Chester, Kruck served as quarterbacks and receivers coach, offensive coordinator, and recruiting coordinator at Fordham University from 1989-1992.

Kruck has appeared as a guest coach for five CFL teams: BC Lions (2003-2004), Calgary Stampeders (1997-2002), Saskatchewan Roughriders (1996), Ottawa Rough Riders (1995), and the Toronto Argonauts (1994).

Prior to his coaching career, Kruck played at Alabama under Coach Paul Bryant.

A native of Philadelphia, Kruck and his wife, Monica, along with their daughter, Bridget, currently reside in Lynden, Washington.
