Published
OTTAWA - The Ottawa Redblacks have signed head coach Bob Dyce to a contract extension through the 2026 CFL season, the team announced Thursday.
Dyce, 59, of Winnipeg, begins his third full season on Ottawa's sideline. The Redblacks posted a 9-8-1 record last season to make the CFL playoffs for the first time in six years.
Under Dyce, Ottawa posted a franchise-best 7-1-1 home record in 2024.
“Coach Dyce has demonstrated the ability to get the best out of our players on a daily basis. His leadership sets the standard, and provides a blueprint to who we want to be as a team both on and off the field,” general Manager Shawn Burke said. “I am thrilled to get the opportunity to continue our partnership in leading our organization to more success and greater achievements.”
“I eagerly look forward to continuing the growth our team saw last season, as we work toward achieving our ultimate goal. We have a great group of players, coaches, and staff, along with tremendous support from Shawn and our ownership group, and are all working daily towards bringing the Grey Cup back to Ottawa,” said Dyce. “Holding this position is something I never take for granted, and I express my sincere gratitude to all of them for their unwavering belief in what we are building together.”
Overall, Dyce has a 14-25-1 record with Ottawa. He was named the Redblacks' interim head coach late in 2022 before becoming the full-time head coach shortly after that season.
Dyce originally joined the Redblacks in 2016 as their special-teams co-ordinator.
He has won Grey Cups as an assistant with Ottawa (2016) and Saskatchewan (2013).
