On the cold wind-swept plains surrounding Mosaic Stadium, Rider Head Coach Corey Mace brought news of the rest of his coaching staff for the 2024 season.
Mace was hired last year by the Riders to replace Craig Dickenson whose contract was not renewed following two 6-12 seasons. He announced former University of Regina Ram quarterback Marc Mueller, who has been working in Calgary for the Stampeders as everything from offensive coordinator to quarterback coach to running back coach as the Riders new offensive coordinator. Mueller is also the grandson of Rider legend Ron Lancaster and knows his way around the football field even though he was he was replaced by Stampeder Coach Dave Dickenson as offensive coordinator last year when the Stampeders offense resembled more a constipated pack mule than the thoroughbred envisioned by dozens by Stampeder fans.
The Riders also brought back Kent Maugeri as special teams’ coach, even though Craig Dickenson had been overseeing special teams last season.
