In most any job these days, a 15-year stay is something to be applauded.
When that job is inside the highly transitory world of professional sports? Well, it’s practically reason for a confetti shower and accompanying brass band.
“The very first day?” Stampeders’ special teams co-ordinator Mark Kilam allows his mind to drift back to 2005, to his younger, inexperienced self. “Oh, yeah. Of course. I was really nervous. I was 25.
“The building” – he motions to the home north end/dressing-room section of McMahon Stadium – “was different back then. I didn’t have an office. So I set up my stuff in the gym that was in there at the time.
“And anybody that walked by, I tried to talk to them.
“New guy, right?
“Just wanted to introduce myself.”
Fifteen years later, introductions are hardly necessary.
