Linebackers coach and run game coordinator

CFL: 5th season
Stamps: 2nd season

Klund is in his second season with the Stampeders after having served as a CFL defensive backs coach for three seasons – two with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2022 and 2023 and one with the Edmonton Elks in 2024.

The Calgary linebacking corps in 2025 featured first-year starter Jacob Roberts, who led the team and was fourth in the CFL with 96 tackles. The linebackers were part of a defensive unit that was the second-stingiest in the CFL and ranked second in the league with 42 turnovers forced.

In 2022 in Saskatchewan, one of Klund’s charges – SAM Derrick Moncrief – was a West Division all-star. With the Elks in 2024, Loucheiz Purifoy was a division all-star and Edmonton led the CFL with 25 interceptions.

Prior to coming to the CFL, Klund coached in the U.S. collegiate ranks for 13 years including nine as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Mo. During his time at Southwest Baptist, 42 members of the Bearcats defence earned all-conference recognition.

Klund also spent one season as defensive coordinator at Lindenwood University-Belleville and three on the coaching staff at his alma mater – Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo.

As a player, Klund was a four-time conference all-star at safety for the Lions.
