Sure it's early in the off-season, but Rod Pedersen is ready for Roughriders general manager Brendan Taman to name the team's new head coach.
This Cinderella season for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers has been a great party, but CFL.ca's Rod Pedersen believes that it will not be their time to shine at the 99th Grey Cup.
While the Bombers, Ticats, Leos and Esks all battle for the right to play in the Grey Cup, the Riders took a major step towards cleaning up the franchise's murky future.
The party is over but the clean-up has just begun. It wasn't much of a party to begin with, according to Rod Pedersen, as the Roughriders wrap up their 2011 season.
The Roughriders finished the home portion of the schedule with a win against the Ticats, giving Ken Miller a reason to smile as he nears the end of his tenure with the club.
There's some good news in Riderville according to Rod Pedersen, with the Riders finally snapping their five game touchdown drought in Friday's loss to Calgary.
After being eliminated from playoff contention, the biggest question for the Riders is whether quarterback Darian Durant will play again this season with a broken foot.
As the Saskatchewan Roughriders playoff hopes are getting progressively dimmer, the team is focusing on the five games ahead, despite a string of blowout losses.
Things were lining up nicely for a run to the playoffs as the Riders hosted 5-6 B.C., but after the game more questions than answers exist explains Rod Pedersen.
Rod Pedersen wonders whether it's possible that the arrival of Ken Miller is the sole reason for Saskatchewan's mid-season turnaround. Chris McKenzie seems to think so.
One week after upsetting the Blue Bombers by 20 points, Saskatchewan went into Swaggerville and destroyed Winnipeg 45-23 to complete a home-and-home sweep.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders feel they may have turned their 2011 CFL season around with Sunday's 27-7 upset victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in Labour Day Classic.
Exactly 11 days after the firings of head coach Greg Marshall and offensive coordinator Doug Berry, Ken Miller is preparing for his first game back as head coach of the Riders.
Just days after the firing of Greg Marshall and Doug Berry, Rod Pedersen examines whether or not their replacement, Ken Miller, can turn things around and save the 2011 season.
After waiting 17 seasons before becoming a head coach, it would be safe to say that Greg Marshall's rookie year at the helm of the Riders hasn't gone according to plan.
