The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced their football operations and coaching staffs on Wednesday.
Jeremy O’Day, the CFL team’s vice-president of football operations and general manager, will be joined in the front office by assistant general manager Paul Jones, director of football operations Ryan Pollock, manager of player personnel Mike Davis and co-ordinator of football operations Jordan Greenly.
The coaching staff will be led by Craig Dickenson, who was named the head coach on Jan. 25. He took over for Chris Jones, who resigned Jan. 15 to join the staff of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns.
Dickenson will remain the Roughriders’ special-teams co-ordinator, a job he held in each of the previous three seasons. The other co-ordinators are Stephen McAdoo (offence) and Jason Shivers (defence).
Dickenson’s staff features assistant coaches Steve Walsh (quarterbacks), Kent Maugeri (running backs), Travis Moore (receivers), Stephen Sorrells (offensive line), Chris Tormey (linebackers), Mike Scheper (defensive line), Merritt Bowden (special teams) and Richard Kent (defensive assistant and assistant defensive backs).
All of the assistants except Tormey and Kent were part of Jones’ staff last season.
