The Saskatchewan Roughriders have completed another interview for their vacant head coaching position.

Dave Dickenson was the latest to meet with the Roughriders General Manager Brendan Taman and Assistant General Manager Jeremy O'Day.

The former CFL quarterback has coached with the Calgary Stampeders over the last three years, the latest as the offensive coordinator.

Dickenson should be very familiar with the Saskatchewan Roughriders after his brother, Craig, served as the Riders Special Teams Coordinator in 2011.

Dickenson helped guide the Stampeders to the second highest scoring offense in the league. As the quarterbacks coach in 2010, the Stampeders scored a league high 629 points, over 100 points more than the nearest team (Montreal).

The Roughriders will be through their first phase of interviews by the end of this weekend. They are also waiting to hear whether or not Kent Austin wants to even interview for the position.

They have been granted permission to speak with the former Roughrider coach.
