Dave Dickenson will be back as the head coach and general manager of the Calgary Stampeders next season.
Despite a disappointing 2024 season in Calgary, Stampeders president and Jay McNeil said Monday that Dickenson has earned another season guiding the CFL club.
Calgary (5-12) finished at the bottom of the West Division with the worst record in the CFL after 18 consecutive seasons of reaching the playoffs.
Dickenson will enter a ninth year as head coach and third as GM. He has spent a total of 16 years on Calgary’s coaching staff.
He coached the Stampeders to a Grey Cup victory in 2018, which was the third straight year Calgary had reached the championship game.
But Calgary has finished well under .500 in back-to-back seasons for the first time in two decades.
