Medicine Hat, AB–The Saskatchewan Roughriders Offensive Coordinator Jason Maas has been relieved of his duties. Maas, a former Quarterback in the CFL joined the Riders back in December of 2019.

The team also announced that Run Game Coordinator and Offensive Line Coach Stephen Sorrells and Receivers Coach Travis Moore will not have their contracts renewed.

Craig Dickenson will return next season as head coach, his fifth season with the Roughriders. “Craig is an excellent coach, a strong leader and truly represents the values of the Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club,” said Vice President of Football Operations Jeremy O’Day.

O’Day will also return for his 25th season with the Roughriders and fifth year as the Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager. O’Day began his career as a Roughrider player in 1999 and joined the football operations staff in 2011. He is a three-time Grey Cup Champion, winning two in Saskatchewan – one as player in 2007 and one as Assistant General Manager in 2013. He was named Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager on January 18, 2019, after 22 years in Green and White.

Both Dickenson and O’Day are under contract with the Club through the 2023 season.

The Riders ended their 2022 season on a seven game losing streak and missed the play-offs for the first time in 2016.

Regina is the host city for the Grey Cup this month.
