NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — Ryan Dinwiddie of the Toronto Argonauts is the CFL’s coach of the year.

Dinwiddie was honoured Thursday during the CFL’s awards banquet at Fallsview Casino & Resort.

Dinwiddie guided Toronto to a CFL-best 16-2 record this season, which tied the league record for most regular-season victories.

The 16 wins were a Toronto single-season record.

Dinwiddie became the ninth head coach to win division titles in his first three seasons as Toronto had a 9-0 home record (one win came in Halifax) and 10-0 mark within the East Division.
