Overview
- Ottawa officially unveiled Dinwiddie on Thursday, giving him control of coaching, roster decisions and play-calling for the first time in his career.
- Dinwiddie arrives from Toronto after a 51-35 run with two Grey Cup titles and the 2023 Coach of the Year award.
- Shawn Burke transitions from general manager to vice-president of football operations with an extension through the 2028 season.
- Team president Adrian Sciarra framed the hire as the start of a new era for a club with one playoff berth in six seasons after a 4-14 year that cost Bob Dyce his job.
- Ottawa secured permission to speak with the Argonauts this week and moved quickly; Toronto allowed the move as a promotion and has begun a head-coaching search.
