Ottawa Redblacks hire Ryan Dinwiddie as their head coach and general manager

On Nov. 5, 2025, the Ottawa Redblacks hired Ryan Dinwiddie as head coach and general manager, a promotion that enabled him to leave the Toronto Argonauts.
Following a 4-14 season, Ottawa relieved Bob Dyce after missing the CFL playoffs in five of six seasons since the 2018 Grey Cup.
The Toronto Argonauts publicly thanked Dinwiddie for two Grey Cup titles and a Coach of the Year Award, praised by Argos GM Michael Clemons for his achievements.
Dinwiddie assumes the dual coach‑and‑GM role while Shawn Burke is promoted to vice-president of football operations; Burke was hired in December 2021.
The Canadian Press published the report Nov. 5, 2025 and Dinwiddie was pictured Oct. 10, 2025 before an Argonauts game in Regina.
