The Saskatchewan Roughriders have shaken things up to start their bye week after they fired Head Coach Greg Marshall and Offensive Coordinator Doug Berry Friday afternoon.
Vice-President of Football Operations Ken Miller will immediately take over the head coaching duties.
Riders General Manager Brendan Taman said it was a hard decision to make but one that needed to be made.

“As the season has progressed we have become increasingly concerned with the direction the club has been going. We are committed to winning this season and felt this was the best course of action to get the team back on track,” said Taman.
Marshall was hired to take over for Miller after he stepped down as head coach at the end of the 2010 season.
In his three years as head coach, Miller led the Riders to three home playoff games and two consecutive Grey Cups.
The Riders have the worst record in the CFL at 1-7 after losing to the Toronto Argonauts 24-18 on Thursday.
