O’Shea remaining with Blue and Gold

Mike O’Shea isn’t going anywhere.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announced late Friday afternoon that their longtime head coach will remain with the team.

O’Shea was in Toronto earlier this week to meet with the Argonauts about their head coaching vacancy. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats had also requested permission to speak with O’Shea.

O’Shea, a 55-year-old from North Bay, Ont., had just finished the third and final year of his contract with the Bombers in 2025.

In O’Shea’s 11 seasons in Winnipeg, the Bombers have gone 117-77 in the regular season and 9-7 in the playoffs, including two Grey Cup victories.

Details surrounding his new deal have not yet been disclosed. “More details to follow,” wrote the Bombers on social media.
