Bob Dyce fired as Redblacks head coach after disappointing season

By Canadian Press on October 25, 2025.

The Ottawa Redblacks fired head coach Bob Dyce on Saturday after the club ended its season with a sixth straight loss.

The move came a day after Ottawa fell 35-15 to Hamilton, missing the CFL playoffs for the fifth time since reaching the 2018 Grey Cup.

Dyce had been with the Redblacks since 2016, serving as special-teams coordinator before taking over as head coach in 2022.

He led Ottawa to a 9-8-1 record and its first playoff berth in five years last season, but the team finished 4-14 this year.

Overall, he posted an 18-39-1 record as head coach.

General manager Shawn Burke called it a difficult day, praising Dyce’s commitment and work ethic.
