The B.C. Lions have fired head coach and co-general manager Rick Campbell following a disappointing season. The team finished with a 9-9 record and lost in the playoffs after starting strong with a 5-1 record. Neil McEvoy has been promoted to vice-president of football operations, while Ryan Rigmaiden becomes the new general manager. These changes are part of a broader restructuring within the organization. Campbell joined the Lions in 2019 and had a 38-30 regular-season record during his tenure. He previously coached the Ottawa Redblacks, leading them to a Grey Cup victory in 2016.
