Career highlights and awards

College career

Dickenson played college football as a kicker for the Montana Grizzlies.[2]

Coaching career

Dickenson first coached in the Canadian Football League when he was hired by Wally Buono to be the receivers coach and offensive assistant for the Calgary Stampeders on March 25, 2002.[3]

Following the 2018 CFL season, Dickenson interviewed for the Roughriders' vacant head coaching position following the departure of Chris Jones, and was subsequently promoted on January 25, 2019.[4] The Riders finished 2019 with an improved record of 13-5, winning the West Division for the first time in a decade.[5] After a disappointing season in 2022 there was much speculation about the future of the Riders' coaching staff, however, on November 1, 2022, it was announced that Dickenson would return as head coach.[6] Offensive coordinator Jason Maas and three other offensive coaches did not have their contracts renewed.[7]
