Warren Craney
Defensive Coordinator

Warren Craney, from Chateauguay, Quebec, has been with the Concordia Stingers for eight seasons and the defensive coordinator for five.

In his playing career, Craney was in the Châteauguay Raiders system and played as a free safety with the Raiders QJFL team. Before joining the Stingers, Craney was the defensive line coach with Collège Vanier for three seasons. He also worked with the Cougars de St-Léonard and his junior team, Châteauguay.

At the CIS level, he has coached all three defensive units at Concordia and is widely respected for his work with linebackers. A tribute to Craneys hard work, Mickey Donovan (2004) and Patrick Donovan (2005) earned the Presidents Trophy as the outstanding defensive player in the CIS. Also under Craneys teaching, Concordia defensive end Troy Cuningham was named the outstanding lineman in the country in 2004.

To perfect his knowledge of the game, Craney has attended the Montreal Alouettes and Toronto Argonauts training camps and has taken the opportunity to learn more as a guest coach at the University of Nebraska and University of Michigan football schools.
