Ed Comeau is the former head coach of the
Orlando Titans, until they folded in 2010, of the
National Lacrosse League.
Comeau began his NLL coaching career with the
Toronto Rock, as an assistant coach under the legendary
Les Bartley. The Rock won four NLL Championships under Bartley (
1999,
2000,
2002, and
2003 NLL season).
In November
2003, Bartley stepped down due to his battle with
colon cancer, and Comeau was promoted to interim head coach. However, less than four months later, after a 2-4 start, both Comeau and interim GM
Derek Keenan were fired by the Rock, replaced by
Terry Sanderson.
In 2004, Comeau joined the
Rochester Knighthawks as an assistant coach, and was then promoted to head coach at the beginning of the
2006 season, replacing Paul Day. Rochester finished with a 9-7 record, second in the Eastern division, but were eliminated from the playoffs by the
Buffalo Bandits in the division finals.
In
2007, the Knighthawks began the season 2-2, and then won a franchise record 12 straight games to finish the season with a 14-2 mark, tied for the best record since the NLL went to a 16-game schedule. They continued the winning streak in the postseason, defeating
Toronto, Buffalo, and finally
Arizona to win their first championship since
1997. After the season, Comeau was named the winner of the
Les Bartley Award for coach of the year.<ref...
