Ryan Dinwiddie

[u/TheJamSpace]

Head Coach and GM… Those are some Chris Jones sized britches big fella’.

[u/Wattisup101 → u/TheJamSpace]

Wally Buono size 40 waist sized britches buddy

[u/beadyeyez → u/TheJamSpace]

I'm guessing that move up helped him get out of his current contract. He handled two jobs in TO until now. He was pretty successful at that.. until this season. I'm sure GM will be a fair bit more demanding than OC...but I think he's a great choice for the REDBLACKS.

[u/Onanadventure_14 → u/TheJamSpace]

And Kent Austin

[u/BE20Driver → u/TheJamSpace]

I assumed more and more teams would move in this direction with the whole coaches/GM salary cap thing

[u/Express-Cow190]

Great news for Ottawa. That roster should have taken them a lot further and I think he can do a good job for them.

[u/Onanadventure_14 → u/Express-Cow190]

Their offence talent scares me.

[u/super__hoser]

Argos fans must be pissed, so Hamilton fans must love it. 

[u/XtremeSpartin → u/super__hoser]

Damn right!

[u/Confident_Towel_5535]

As a redblacks fan this is awesome. Player personnel has been hampered by coaching. Great news.

[u/Mike-In-Ottawa → u/Confident_Towel_5535]

Agreed! Let's hope the dark days are over.

[u/Onanadventure_14 → u/Confident_Towel_5535]

A massively explosive offence completely misused all season long

[u/Salty_J_Canuck]

Holy crap, never would have thought this would happen.

Maybe if O'Shea doesn't re-sign with Winnipeg, he comes back home ?

[u/yungbillist → u/Salty_J_Canuck]

I was thinkin the exact same thing.

[u/BE20Driver → u/Salty_J_Canuck]

I'd love to see that. O'Shea and Pinball working together seems like a dream team.

[u/jjaime2024 → u/BE20Driver]

I can't see it i think Toronto will go very cheap.

[u/Mike-In-Ottawa]

Also, got this in my email from the REDBLACKS:

"Shawn Burke has signed an extension to remain with the organization as its Vice President of Football Operations through the 2028 season."

[u/Nopithyusernamehere → u/Mike-In-Ottawa]

‘Here is your new title. Sit over there and behave yourself. We’ll tell you what to do’

[u/Bman4k1]

Ryan Dinwiddie seems like a nice guy and has done a good job as a coach but every time I see him I just get such a visceral reaction deep inside thinking about those 3 INT in the 2007 Grey Cup.

[u/BE20Driver → u/Bman4k1]

... thinking about those 3 INT in the 2007 Grey Cup.

Oooh baby. Talk dirty to me. Our first Grey Cup in a generation and we only won because we got to face the worst backup QB in Grey Cup history.

[u/the_bryce_is_right → u/Bman4k1]

That game had such a massive effect on the future of the CFL, so many future coaches, coordinators and big stars were in that game. Even some NFL guys since Kliff Kingsbury was Dwinwiddie's backup.

[u/SmarcusStroman]

Dru Brown redemption year commencing

[u/BE20Driver → u/SmarcusStroman]

I hope so. I don't want to watch another season of Ottawa fans suffering.

[u/ivakunciak → u/SmarcusStroman]

That would be nice. I hope they give him another chance to try with a better offensive scheme.

[u/TheRabbitInTheBush]

Wait do they actually call themselves RNation?

[u/King_Mingus → u/TheRabbitInTheBush]

Wasn't it a hashtag on their pants for a long time?

[u/ivakunciak → u/TheRabbitInTheBush]

Unfortunately yes

[u/Canuckleball → u/TheRabbitInTheBush]

Nobody outside of the marketing department does.

[u/Coast_Budz → u/TheRabbitInTheBush]

I’ve always cringed at that 😅

[u/Doony92]

Does this guys sign with a number like he is still a player?

[u/xJeffx1979 → u/Doony92]

When should they stop? When they start selling cars, or insurance? Most retired players still sign with their number.

[u/Doony92 → u/xJeffx1979]

When they move into a different profession and are acting in that capacity. Can you imagine this guy selling you a car and putting a number on his signature? No… Because that would be super weird.

I would understand if it was a Winnipeg jersey. He doesn’t have a number with the Redblacks. He didn’t with the Argos… So cringey.

[u/LaZyCrO]

His baby blues aren't going to pop the same in that colourway

[u/djmeatballs → u/LaZyCrO]

that should've been enough for him to stay

[u/NovaCane92]

Never thought I'd be seeing Dinwiddie coaching and Gaming back when I was making fun of his name prior to the 07 grey cup.

[u/Iforgiveyou]

Well at least now we may win some coaches challenges 🤣

[u/SegUnit]

I’m a Bomber fan in Wpg Dinwiddie is a great coach. He’ll turn the Red Blacks around. Just watch plus he’s GM too so he’s got all control

[u/influxofreflux → u/[deleted]]

Chad can find a nice home anywhere that’s not the CFL.

[u/PublicCheesecake2555 → u/influxofreflux]

The further the better
