After a disappointing season, the Ottawa Redblacks are looking for a new head coach.<\/p>\n
The Redblacks have fired Bob Dyce, the CFL club announced Saturday.<\/p>\n
Ottawa finished a league-worst 4-14 this season, after going 9-8-1 and making the playoffs last year.<\/p>\n
The Winnipeg-born Dyce, 59, was named the full-time coach of the Redblacks in December 2022 after serving as interim coach for four games that season following the firing of Paul LaPolice. Dyce was Ottawa\u2019s special teams co-ordinator from 2016 to 2022, helping the team win its first and only Grey Cup in his first year.<\/p>\n
The Redblacks went 4-14 in Dyce\u2019s first full season before making big strides in 2024 after acquiring quarterback Dru Brown\u2019s rights in a trade with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.<\/p>\n
But Brown was hampered by injuries in 2025, and the Redblacks could never find much rhythm.<\/p>\n
Dyce, who served as interim coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders for nine games in 2015, is a Canadian football coaching lifer. The former Manitoba Bisons receiver got his start in university and junior ball in Winnipeg before joining the Blue Bombers staff in 2003.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a disappointing season, the Ottawa Redblacks are looking for a new head coach.
