The BC Lions have fired head coach Mike Benevides.

Benevides has been the team's head coach since taking over for general manager Wally Buono in 2012. The former defensive coordinator had a 33-21 regular season record in three years at the helm of the team, but his record regressed every year and he failed to win a playoff game in that time.
Buono, who left the sidelines after winning the 2011 Grey Cup with the Lions, said earlier this week he would consider coaching on an interim basis.

The Lions signed Benevides to an extension at the start of this season.
