WINNIPEG – The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have signed head coach Mike O’Shea to a three-year contract extension.
O’Shea won his second consecutive Annis Stukus Trophy as the CFL’s top coach this year after leading the Blue Bombers to a club-record 15 regular-season wins and a third straight trip to the Grey Cup.
The Blue Bombers are 82-58 under O’Shea with Grey Cup championships in 2019 and 2021.
Winnipeg has posted six consecutive seasons with double-digit wins, matching a franchise-best stretch first established from 1957-62.
A former star linebacker, O’Shea was named to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2017 after a 16-year playing career with Toronto and Hamilton that saw him earn three Grey Cup rings.
He began his coaching career as special teams co-ordinator with Toronto from 2010-13, helping the Argonauts win a Grey Cup in 2012.
Argonauts in 2010 and served there through 2013 – winning a Grey Cup in 2012 – before being hired by the Blue Bombers.
He was hired as the Blue Bombers’ head coach before the 2014 season.
The Blue Bombers said O’Shea will address the extension at a press conference on Friday.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 8, 2022.
