Dave Dickenson is ready to get back on the sidelines with the Calgary Stampeders in 2021. (Larry MacDougal/CFL.ca) That time coaching the game allowed Dickenson to spend some added time with his family and gave him the chance to try out some more creative playcalling while having some fun with the game. But he’s also ready to get back to work with his staff and the players on the Stampeders following a year-long layoff due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But Dickenson and the Calgary organization as a whole got some good news a week ago when the 2021 Canadian Football Hall-of-Fame class featured Nik Lewis, Will Johnson, and Doug Mitchell.
