REGINA – With the Saskatchewan Roughriders eliminated from the CFL playoff race on Saturday, Craig Dickenson is hoping to return for his fourth season as head coach.
Dickenson and general manager Jeremy O’Day have come under fire over the last two months as the Riders have struggled immensely since starting the season 4-1. A 32-21 Saturday loss to the Calgary Stampeders dropped the Riders to 6-11 after going 2-10 in their last 12 games.
The Stampeders, who are 11-6 and playoff bound, handed the Riders their sixth straight home loss.
Dickenson was asked after the game if he had received any assurances that he and O’Day would maintain their positions for the 2023 season.
“No but we’re going to keep working like we are,” said Dickenson, who has a 28-21 record as Saskatchewan’s head coach.
When asked if he wants to return, he was quick with the affirmative.
“Absolutely. Absolutely. I like it here. And I feel like we’ve got a lot of work still to do here,” said Dickenson.
Heading into the weekend, Saskatchewan held a slim chance at qualifying for the post-season. The Riders were tied with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for the third and final playoff spot in the East Division. Any combination of Tiger-Cats wins and Riders losses totalling two in the final two weeks of the season would eliminate Saskatchewan.
