OTTAWA — Jeff Reinebold is back in the CFL.
Ryan Dinwiddie, the Ottawa Redblacks head coach and general manager, unveiled Reinebold as the club’s new special-teams co-ordinator Thursday. Dinwiddie is in his first season in the Canadian capital following five years with the Toronto Argonauts.
Reinebold, 68, joins the Redblacks after serving as defensive tackles coach for the last two years at the University of Hawaii. Reinebold has previous CFL coaching experience as an assistant with Hamilton (2013-16, 2019-21, 2023), B.C. (1991-93, 1996, 2018), Montreal (2012), Edmonton (1995) and the Las Vegas Posse (1994) while also having served as head coach with Winnipeg (1997-98).
Dinwiddie, who led Toronto to two Grey Cup wins, retained defensive co-ordinator William Fields, offensive line coach Mike Gibson and assistant special-teams co-ordinator/quality control Nate Taylor. All three were members of former head coach Bob Dyce’s staff last year, although Taylor was the club’s running backs coach.
