Argos sign Dinwiddie to multi-year extension

The Toronto Argonauts have signed head coach Ryan Dinwiddie to a multi-year extension, the club announced Tuesday.

The details of the extension weren't revealed.

"I am beyond thrilled to sign an extension to stay in Toronto and to continue building a winning culture here in the city," Dinwiddie said. "My family loves it here, the organization and fans have been so accommodating and supporting of us. We are building something special here, and I want to thank the Argonauts organization for giving me this opportunity."

Toronto is currently averaging a league-high 40 points per game under the former quarterback's watch. Dinwiddie has led the Argos to a 3-0 record this season and is fresh off a Grey Cup victory in 2022.

"While some say coaches are hired to be fired, in this case, our hire brought fire," said general manager Michael "Pinball" Clemons. "We needed someone to not only be good with the Xs and Os but to be able to lead a group of men each and every day. He has far exceeded our lofty expectations."

Dinwiddie was hired in December 2019 but didn't coach a game until the 2021 campaign after the 2020 season's cancellation. The 42-year-old owns a 23-12 record as Toronto's head coach.
