Bobby Dyce has been relieved of his coaching duties.
Unfortunate for him and the Redblacks to have such a bad season. Injuries and overall lack of talent didn't help. I wonder who will be in the running for the HC position now?

I know a young up and coming OC who is ready for his next challenge.
Finally lol.
He can't say he didn't get a legitimate chance.

I knew he'd get canned right after the game, Burke should have went with him. It's not like Ottawa is loaded with talent, but they need a bonafide leader, not a good ol boy leading them. Not sure who wants to go to Ottawa, I am hoping we can poach a receiver or 2 from them!!
Dyce is a great ST mind, but a head coach he is not.
Noel Thorpe or Archimbault as potential HC choices?
He had such a generous chance, no dice I suppose. To bad.
He will find another job no problem.

He's 100. I don't see him going anywhere. Time to hang up the clipboard.
Who is the up and comer? Lancaster relative is a great choice. Maybe a little young. But the kid has paid his dues.plus he was a QB.
They have to get a QB. Geez, our guy was **** good today
Let's trade Collaros for their #1:receiver.
Bobby is a real nice guy. He's a team guy.

Agree. If I m Dyce, he just had a pretty tough go of it in Ottawa, just retire and be a guest coach at some camps or a consultant, he doesn't need the pressure and stress at his age.

Maybe, but I bet you he could still use the money, don't imagine Dyce or Richie Hall have any kind of pension from the time they dedicated to playing or coaching football, people that make those life choices often end up living in a trailer.

He's 59. That's still pretty young by coaching standards.
I wouldnt be surprised if Dyce gets a college position somewhere.
I could see that happening

I could only name half the ST Coords in the league right now, but pretty sure half are not that good at their jobs. Dyce has enough CFL contacts to get another STC job after he enjoys his year off with pay, hey maybe the RB's boost Tim Campbell to HC and he offers the ST job to Dyce!
Some suggested names to replace Dyce...

I'm going to spit-ball and just throw this out there. Mike Kelly as HC with Reinebold as DC.

Just as with Buck we'll see which candidates accept interviews, if Younger or O'Shea show interest in that job it's time to identify potential replacements.
I would be quite surprised if O'Shea left Wpg.
Outside of a couple of very small fan forums, he's a king.
I'd go all in and get Dinwiddie to turn the pathetic Ottawa offense around. They have 2 decent Qb's in Brown and Crum, some decent recievers, but their game plan is horrible. Dinwiddie would solve that. #2 choice would be Burris--need an offensive mind to turn things around there. No to Campbell and Steinhauer and MOS wouldn't go there without KW as his manager and if Burke stays, the talent pipeline doesn't improve and to me, that's more of the problem than coaching.

the problem there is Dinwiddie is under contract for another year, and would need a promotion to hc and gm which Ottawa already has. They could make a trade for him, perhaps offering Dru Brown and their first pick for Dinwiddie and Kelly

I would can Burke yesterday and give Dinwiddie the GM/HC job. Burke IS the problem in Ottawa. He's had what 10 years to stock the talent shelves, and they are far from loaded with talent. Bye bye Burke. But Ottawa won't do that, so bring in Burris and see if he can get their brutal offense on track. You have Lewis, Pimpleton, and Hardy in your recieving corps, heck I wish we had that type of talent in our receiving corps!!, yet their offense sputters and fails miserably.

They could offer an assistant GM role as well as HC role for Dinwiddie. I don't see that happening and don't think he wants to change teams. I don't even think you can trade a coach if he doesn't want to make that move.
As far as the addition for trading QB's, that doesn't make sense. Kelly makes a lot more than Brown and you suggest including a 1st round pick. Bad business IMO. The problems in Ottawa extend beyond QB.
Whatever they do will start whenever their top choice teams is eliminated.
i think dinwiddies out of the picture. If he isn't getting both hats and a big pay raise, and they aren't going to give him the HC and GM job, he ll just stay where he's at
With the Bisons dropping to 4-4, might Dyce "come home"?
Quote from: theaardvark on October 30, 2025, 01:08:00 PMWith the Bisons dropping to 4-4, might Dyce "come home"?
I fully expect him to weigh his options in the off-season. He's a good ST coach in this league.

Is there a GM job? I could fully see Walters going back to college/university ball. He didn't do much this year...and also we need new scouts. What did our scouts do this year? Not much. We need new, good young bodies.

That's the big thing that has changed is our scouting staff has been poached for the last couple of years and our talent pipeline has dropped off
Ottawa needs a real football coach. They need to figure a plan which pays the most important players the most money. They need scouts that can identify real QB candidates. The Montreal QB is a great example. Let a candidate ride the bench, learn the game. Bring in some old guy to lead the team in the first couple of years. In the meantime, build your offensive line, and get one of Torontos scouts. They have built teams in two of the last three years.

they listened to you...well done!

The move only makes sense. Ottawa needs a great football mind to turn that ship around, they now have it. Look out in 2026, Dru Brown, Geno Lewis, Hardy and Pimpleton are going to have a wicked year. I am both happy and excited for the Redblacks fans, finally , you're prayers have been answered!!
