Well the Saskatchewan Roughriders hit the halfway mark of the season, sitting at 4-5 on the year after their embarrassing loss to Montreal on Friday. Fans are FED UP with the team and specifically, Head Coach Craig Dickenson right now. It’s starting to get pretty ugly in Riderville, despite the team still being in a playoff spot (thanks to half of the teams in the league being just bad).
There is still hope at a playoff run, but not if Coach Dickey is in charge. I’ve made it clear that while I like and respect Craig Dickenson the person (truly, a very good, honest, sincere man), the Head Coach is clearly in over his head and the Riders need to move on from him (hopefully during the bye week coming up). They should have done it last year, but that’s beside the point.
So while we are halfway there and still livin’ on a prayer here in Riderville, I thought I’d have a bit of fun and turn an all time classic song into how some (most?) of Rider Nation is feeling right now.
Once upon a time, not so long ago…
Dickey used to work Special Teams, watching him as coach
He’s awful as f**k, it’s tough, so tough.
JO works the phone lines all day, working for the fans
He looks for a replacement to coach, mmm, to coach.
He says, “We’ve gotta hold on to the coach we’ve got
It doesn’t make a difference if we make the playoffs or not
We’ve got each other thanks to the Coach’s Salary Cap
We’ll give it a shot”
Whoa, the season’s half way there
Whoa oh, get Dickey out of here
Take my advice, we’ll make the playoffs, I swear
Whoa oh, get Dickey out of here!
Dickey’s got his six loss coming up, losing to BC
That’s the final straw, enough. That’s enough!
JO dreams of another contract
When he cries in the night, Dickey whispers
“O’Day, we’re both done, that’s fact”
We’ve gotta hold on to the coach we’ve got
It doesn’t make a difference if we make the playoffs or not
We’ve got each other thanks to the Coach’s Salary Cap
We’ll give it a shot
Whoa, the season’s half way there
Whoa oh, get Dickey out of here
Take my advice, we’ll make the playoffs, I swear
Whoa oh, get Dickey out of here!
GET DICKEY OUT OF HERE!
Oh, we’ve gotta hold on to Coach Dickenson
The Coaches Cap has screwed us so we can’t move on!
Whoa, the season’s half way there
Whoa oh, get Dickey out of here
Take my advice, we’ll make the playoffs, I swear
Whoa oh, get Dickey out of here!
Whoa, the season’s half way there
Whoa oh, get Dickey out of here
Take my advice, we’ll make the playoffs, I swear
Whoa oh, get Dickey out of here!
Whoa, the season’s half way there
Whoa oh, get Dickey out of here
Take my advice, we’ll make the playoffs, I swear
Whoa oh
