JOIN DYCE’S ROLL? Are the Redblacks going to rehire their coach following another lackluster season?

Head coach Bob Dyce of the Redblacks was grumpy with some members of the local media nearly 48 hours after his team quietly and prematurely withdrew from the Canadian Football League playoff race for the fourth straight season.

A reputable broadcaster asked him casually, “How are you today?” when he arrived at the scrum that awaited him after the first practice since the 4-12 Redblacks’ horribly embarrassing 29-3 loss on Monday in Montreal—a laid egg that officially ended any hope the team might have had of a miraculous finish that would get them into the post-season tournament.

Following brief and superficial answers to questions concerning what the film from the team’s second consecutive dismal performance against the Alouettes taught him, Dyce provided succinct and relatively informative responses to another question concerning an offense that scored just three points in a game where every point mattered.

“There wasn’t just one individual involved,” he remarked, ostensibly and reasonably defending starting quarterback Dustin Crum, who began the season as a fourth-stringer but has now become an expert in the position. “We need to perform at a higher caliber overall. Some people have to make sure they’re locked in, working hard, and fulfilling their duties. It extends beyond the playing field. They prepare for it as they proceed throughout the workweek. We must ensure that we take advantage of chances when they present themselves.

Indeed, when the season is on the line, professionals make sure they’re ready to play from the very beginning of each and every game.

Those in charge of guiding the ship must make sure the same error doesn’t happen again after the Redblacks players appeared to be unprepared a week prior in a devastating 32-15 loss to those same Alouettes at TD Place.

The coaching staff needs to take the most of the blame because it’s obvious that they weren’t prepared to fight for the second straight game.

Dyce responded that the top team in the league is “a very good opponent” that the Redblacks can use to “prove exactly who we are and what we do” when a different reporter questioned how his team approaches the final two games, both against the 13-2 Toronto Argonauts, with nothing on the line.

They have severely damaged a reputation that was already severely damaged last month when TSN analyst Milt Stegall referred to the Redblacks as “probably the weakest team in the league” while declaring that he “loves Bobby” Dyce. This has all happened in the last two weeks.

At this point, no one can contest that assessment.

Dyce declared, “We have to show up and work hard.” “We see being on the field as a blessing and an opportunity. Our objective has always been to improve every single week, so we’re thrilled about the next chance we have to both improve and win a football game.

It hasn’t appeared that way lately.

In truth, the Redblacks have gotten significantly worse since ending a seven-game losing streak and giving themselves a little bit of hope on September 22 with a 36-28 victory at home against a poor Saskatchewan Roughriders club.
