CALGARY — Dave Dickenson will return as head coach and general manager of the Calgary Stampeders in 2025 despite the CFL club's worst season in two decades.
But the Stampeders made the playoffs in 2023 with a 6-12 record and have finished well under .500 in back-to-back years for the first time since 2003 and 2004. Dickenson will enter his ninth year as head coach and third as GM in 2025. The former CFL quarterback has been on Calgary's coaching staff for 16 years.
Matthew Shiltz started two straight games before a neck injury ruled him out of Saturday's season finale in Regina, where Maier and the Stampeders earned the club's lone road win with a 27-12 decision over the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Logan Bonner also started Sept. 6 in place of Maier. John Hufnagel groomed Dickenson to be his successor in both positions as the former moved onto become club president, and then special adviser when former Stampeder offensive lineman McNeil became president this year.
