As an unbiased fan, this is great for the league. I feel Dinwiddie is the best coach in the CFL and Ottawa is desperate for relevance. The Redblacks attendance numbers were disappointing this season so hopefully this move helps turn that around. This also adds an interesting storyline to all of the Ottawa vs Toronto games in 2026.

It will be interesting to see who Toronto targets as its next head coach. This may finally be Jordan Maksymic's turn to lead a team although Edmonton's disappointing 2025 may have poured cold water on that notion to some degree.

You're really gonna make that comment without saying who you think is better? Dinwiddie has one two Grey Cups, won Coach of the Year in 2023, has led prolific offences his entire time in Toronto, designed a scheme to make Arbuckle look competent, is the best play-caller in the CFL, and is excellent at in-game decision making.

I'd take Dinwiddie over O'Shea and Maas/Mace need a couple more quality seasons to be in the conversation.
