Redblacks Fire Head Coach Bob Dyce After Disappointing Season

The Ottawa Redblacks have terminated head coach Bob Dyce following the team’s sixth consecutive loss to conclude the season. The decision was made following Ottawa’s 35-15 defeat to Hamilton, resulting in the team missing the CFL playoffs for the fifth time since their 2018 Grey Cup appearance. Dyce, who joined the Redblacks in 2016 as a special-teams coordinator before assuming the head coach position in 2022, guided the team to a 9-8-1 record and a playoff spot last season after a five-year absence. However, this year, the team ended with a 4-14 record under his leadership, bringing his overall coaching record to 18-39-1. General manager Shawn Burke expressed the challenges of the decision, commending Dyce’s dedication and diligence.
