1991 Saskatchewan Roughriders season

The 1991 Saskatchewan Roughriders season was the 77th season in the club's 81st year of existence. The team finished in 4th place in the Canadian Football League's West Division with a 6–12 record. The Roughriders began the season with a 1–6 record and subsequently fired head coach John Gregory and replaced him with Don Matthews who finished the season with a 5–6 record.[1] The stronger end to the season was not enough as the team failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 1987.
