VANCOUVER — The winless B.C. Lions have sacked special teams coordinator Cory McDiarmid.
The CFL club, last in the West Division with three straight losses, made the announcement Sunday, less than 24 hours after dropping a 41-33 decision to the Calgary Stampeders (1-2) at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl.
Lions’ general manager Ryan Rigmaiden said in a statement that McDiarmid’s release was effective immediately and thanked him for his hard work.
McDiarmid previously coached in the CFL with several teams and is a two-time Grey Cup winner with the Lions and Saskatchewan Roughriders.
