Bob Dyce wasn't out of work long.
Fired as Ottawa Redblacks' head coach following the 2025 season, Dyce has been hired by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as assistant head coach and special teams co-ordinator, the CFL team announced Monday.
Dye is the lone new addition to head coach Scott Milanovich's staff for 2026. He replaces Dennis McKnight.
“We’re very fortunate that Bob Dyce was available, and I feel he is a slam-dunk hire," said Milanovich, whose team lost in the East final to the Montreal Alouettes last season.
"His experience, leadership and character will serve our players and our organization extremely well. The stability within our coaching staff is critical as we build on last season and continue working in 2026 toward our goal of bringing the Grey Cup back to Hamilton.”
The Winnipeg-born Dyce was 18-39 as head coach of the Redblacks for three-plus seasons. Previously, he was the club's special teams co-ordinator.
The Redblacks hired former Toronto Argonauts head coach Ryan Dinwiddie to replace Dyce after Ottawa finished 4-14 in 2025.
Dyce, 60, also was interim head coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2015, going 3-6 before heading to Ottawa.
