The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed football operations head Jeremy O’Day and head coach Corey Mace to two-year contract extensions, the CFL club announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The contracts, announced after the Roughriders (12-4) clinched first overall in the CFL standings heading into the playoffs, run through the 2028 season.<\/p>\n
O’Day, the Riders’ vice-president of football operations and general manager, is in his 27th season with the club and seventh in his current roles. Quarterback Trevor Harris, 1,000-yard receivers KeeSean Johnson and Dohnte Meyers and 1,000-yard rusher A.J. Ouellette are among his free-agent signings enjoying strong 2025 seasons.<\/p>\n
O’Day gave Mace his first head coaching opportunity after Craig Dickenson was fired at the end of the 2023 season.<\/p>\n
Mace, who also serves as the Riders’ defensive co-ordinator, led the Roughriders to a 9-8-1 season in 2024. The Riders went on to beat B.C. 28-19 in the West Division semifinal before losing 38-22 to Winnipeg in the division final.<\/p>\n
The 39-year-old from Port Moody, B.C., won a Grey Cup as a defensive tackle in 2014 with the Calgary Stampeders, and joined the CFL’s coaching ranks after his retirement in 2015. He won another Grey Cup as a \u00a0defensive co-ordinator with the Stampeders in 2018, and a third in 2022 as defensive co-ordinator of the Toronto Argonauts.<\/p>\n
The Roughriders host Winnipeg on Friday in the second-last week of the regular season. They host the West Division final on Nov. 8.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed football operations head Jeremy O’Day and head coach Corey Mace to two-year contract…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":213642,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-213641","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-canadian-football-league","11":"tag-canadianfootballleague","12":"tag-cfl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=213641"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213641\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/213642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=213641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=213641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
