Craig Dickenson will not return as head coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The CFL team announced Monday that it won’t renew Dickenson’s contract after it expires at the end of this season.

Dickenson was head coach of the Roughriders for five seasons, including the 2020 campaign that was cancelled due to COVID-19.

Saskatchewan posted a 34-34-0 regular-season record and reached the playoffs — and the West Division final — in each of his first two seasons. The Roughriders went 6-12-0 in each of the past two campaigns and missed the playoffs.

Meanwhile, Jeremy O’Day – the Roughriders’ vice-president of football operations and general manager – has signed a new contract.
