They are the only winless club in the CFL this season and sit in the West Division basement \u2013 six points behind the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who are 3-6.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not meeting our expectations or our standards on the field and these changes were necessary to move us forward,\u201d said Riders president and CEO Craig Reynolds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrendan and Corey worked tirelessly for this organization and I thank them for all that they have done for our team. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both vacated positions will be filled on an interim basis with a full search being conducted at seasons end. Jeremy O\u2019Day has been named interim VP of football operations and general manager, while Bob Dyce has been named interim head coach.<\/p>\n<p>Chamblin led Saskatchewan to a Grey Cup in 2013, but this season was a struggle right from Week 1 when starting quarterback Darian Durant went down with a season-ending injury. Veteran back-up Kevin Glenn followed Durant with an injury, leaving rookie Brett Smith at pivot.<\/p>\n<p>Chamblin joined the Riders in 2012 and went 29-34.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TORONTO \u2013 The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced on Monday they have fired head coach Corey Chamblin, and vice president of football &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":60470,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[35],"class_list":["post-60469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-original","mauthors-the-canadian-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60469"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60469\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
