REGINA – The Saskatchewan Roughriders have announced that they have fired both head coach Corey Chamblin and general manager Brendan Taman.
The firings come one day after the team’s record moved to 0-9 after a 35-13 loss to the Ottawa Redblacks.
“We are not meeting our expectations or our standards on the field and these changes were necessary to move us forward,” stated Riders President & CEO Craig Reynolds.
“Brendan and Corey worked tirelessly for this organization and I thank them for all that they have done for our team,” continued Reynolds. “But we are in a results oriented business and the current position of our team is unacceptable and this decision was necessary for us to build this team towards sustained success.”
