Despite having no wins after six games, the Saskatchewan Roughriders say they're not looking for a new coach.

The team's general manager, Brendan Taman, told reporters today that he stands behind Corey Chamblin despite the 0-6 record.

After the team's latest loss Friday (30-5 in Edmonton), there was lots of speculation on social media that the team was about to sack Chamblin.

However, Taman said Monday that Chamblin has his full support and the support of the Roughriders board of directors. 

The Riders next play the Argonauts Saturday in Toronto.
