The Ottawa Redblacks have announced the appointment of a new head coach and general manager. Ryan Dinwiddie, who led the Toronto Argonauts to two Grey Cup championships during his tenure, is set to take over coaching responsibilities from Bob Dyce. Dyce was relieved of his duties following Ottawa’s 4-14 record this season, causing them to miss the CFL playoffs.
In addition to his coaching role, Dinwiddie will also serve as the general manager, succeeding Shawn Burke, who assumed the GM position in December 2021. Burke, on the other hand, has been promoted to the role of vice-president of football operations within the organization.
Dinwiddie’s transition from Toronto to Ottawa was made possible due to the promotion offered by the Redblacks. The team has faced playoff absences in five of the last six seasons since their defeat to the Calgary Stampeders in the 2018 Grey Cup.
