Calgary Stampeders lock in head coach Dave Dickenson until 2020 with extension
CALGARY — Dave Dickenson wanted in for the long haul, and the Calgary Stampeders agreed.
The Stampeders and Dickenson announced a three-year contract extension Friday that makes him the CFL team’s head coach through the 2020 season.
Dickenson was named the CFL’s coach of the year in 2016 when he set the league record for most wins by a rookie head coach.
The Stampeders went 15-2-1 and handily beat the B.C. Lions in the West Division final. Calgary was a perfect 9-0 at home and had a 16-game unbeaten streak.
