Dave and Craig Dickenson are together again with the Calgary Stampeders.
The Stampeders appointed Craig Dickenson as a senior consultant Tuesday. His younger brother Dave Dickenson is Calgary’s head coach and GM.
This marks the elder Dickenson’s third stint with Calgary.
He served as a receivers coach in 2002, then joined the Montreal Alouettes as a running backs coach before returning to the Stampeders as running backs coach in 2004.
He served as the Stampeders special-teams co-ordinator from 2005-09.
Craig Dickenson rejoins the Stampeders after serving as the Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach (2019, 2021-23).
“This is an outstanding organization and football staff and I look forward to helping them succeed,” he said.
Dave Dickenson was a quarterback with Calgary’s Grey Cup-winning 2008 squad before retiring and joining its coaching staff in ’09 as running backs coach.

Craig Dickenson also served as a special-teams co-ordinator with Winnipeg (2013), Edmonton (2014-15) and Saskatchewan (2016-18). He earned Grey Cup rings with Calgary (’08) and the Elks (2015).
