Mayor's Breakfast with Bob Dyce, REDBLACKS Head Coach

Bob Dyce enters his third season as Head Coach of the Ottawa REDBLACKS, after leading the team back to the playoffs for the first time since 2018 last season, and to their best ever home record of 7-1-1.  He was named interim Head Coach last in the 2022 campaign and was officially given the position ahead of the 2023 season. 

 A native of Winnipeg, Dyce arrived in the nation’s capital in 2016 as Special Teams Coordinator and helped the club to their first Grey Cup championship that season. He entered the CFL coaching ranks in 2003 as Receivers Coach of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and his resumé includes seven years in Winnipeg (2003-09) as Receivers Coach, six years with the Saskatchewan Roughriders (2010-15) as Passing Game Coordinator/Receivers Coach, Offensive Coordinator, and Special Teams Coordinator, as well as a stretch in 2015 as the team’s interim Head Coach. Dyce won his first Grey Cup with the Riders in 2013. 

A respected career coach and avid motorcycle enthusiast, Dyce and his wife Amanda have 3 children: daughters Brooklyn and Ava, and son Trysten. Trysten is currently the running backs coach with the Edmonton Elks while Brooklyn played on the 2022 Canadian Women’s National football team, and Ava is a gymnast who has attended a game in every CFL city.
