Dan Dorazio joins the Riders after spending the last 12 seasons as offensive line coach with the BC Lions. The veteran coach will be entering his 18th CFL campaign after also spending five seasons with the Calgary Stampeders beginning in 1998.
Mike Sinclair joins the Green and White for his first official season as defensive line coach after spending time with the team last year as a volunteer assistant. He spent the 2013 season as the Chicago Bears defensive line coach.
Tony Missick comes to the Riders after spending the last four seasons as the Calgary Stampeders defensive backs coach. Prior to joining the CFL coaching ranks, Missick collected extensive coaching experience in the AFL and NCAA ranks.
Tyrone Pettaway will enter his first CFL season as he joins the Riders as linebackers coach. He spent the last two seasons in the NCAA as defensive coordinator at the N.C. Wesleyan.
Cory McDiarmid rejoins the Riders after spending last season with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers as linebackers coach. McDiarmid spent the 2013 season with the Riders as a special teams assistant.
An interesting mix of young and old, experienced and fresh. Go Riders!

Glad to see Coach McDiarmid back! I guess things didn't work out for him in WPG?!?!?!
I was really hoping for a change at special teams, I wonder if the style will change if nothing else there?
I still think we need an quarterback's coach. Darren's best seasons have been with a separate QB coach
May they be blessed with health, happiness and W's
Go RIDERS GO!

I would love a quarterback coach too!
Damon Allen would be my first choice.
Show him the Money! 🙂
Agree with Marc, was hoping for seperate QB coach but trust Coach Chamblin. Looking forward to training camp.
Dave in the Hat
I hope someone asks Coach Chamblin about the absence of a QB coach.

For Doubles and the Riders to be successful, he needs a dedicated QB coach. There are several potential candidates, KJ, Damon, etc.
With the Riders having the $$ to hire a dedicated QB coach, why don't we have one ??
How can you agree with Marc? Who is Darren?
Where's the QB coach? Why cheap out?
I think I missed a memo somewhere along the line. What happened to Barron Miles?
To my knowledge the coaches salaries do not fall under the salary cap (SMS).
Some teams have QB coaches in the CFL some do not.
If history shows Darian plays better with a QB coach, why can the riders not find a QB coach that can work under Chamblin?
Riders management-I can't believe this a budget issue???
Is this an issue the Riders cannot find a suitable coach for this position?
But maybe the accountants figure the revenues are there regardless of whether there is a QB coach or not..
As there is a glaring absence of a quarter back coach, I wonder if Kevin Glenn will be in green. He would act as a back up as well as functioning in the role of mentor/qb coach
We need a QB coach and an upgrade on special teams. These were two of the glaring needs from last year
maybe as well as being defensive coordinator, Corey will be the quaterbacks coach
RP mentioned, "Dan Dorazio joins the Riders after spending the last 12 seasons as offensive line coach with the BC Lions."
I guess that is the same offensive line coach who was in-charge of the 'Fat and Sassy' group of offensive lineman when Scott Schultz had his day…
Hopefully Dan Dorazio will push his troops a little harder. We don't need our once proud offensive line to become 'fat and sassy'.

Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks Coach: JACQUES CHAPDELAINE
I believe DD needs a special person to be a QB coach not another OC who doubles up. Why can't the Riders understand this? Are the fans the only ones who understand this? Oh yes..there are the holier than thou people who will say the fans don't understand, etc. But we do. GET A QB COACH FOR DD.
Riiiiiiight. I'm really glad the Riders don't listen to you! Or any team for that matter. They would be guaranteed to lose every game!
What happened to Miles?
Best Jacques Chapdelaine moment ever. http://youtu.be/ZehGYrd46A0
