On Tuesday the Edmonton Elks announced that Ed Hervey will become the new Vice President of Football Operations and General Manager of the Edmonton Elks. Hervey and Elks President and CEO Chris Morris will address the media Wednesday morning at Commonwealth Stadium. Hervey played the entirety of his eight-year CFL career (1999-2006) and was on the team with Elks President and CEO Chris Morris when Edmonton won two Grey Cups (2003 and 2005). Hervey built an Edmonton team that went 14-4 in 2015 and captured the Grey Cup with a 26-20 win over the Ottawa Redblacks.

Hervey will now begin the process of hiring a head coach and assembling his football operations staff in preparation for the 2025 season, the team said.

Yesterday the Edmonton Elks announced that Chris Morris, 3 time Grey Cup champ with the Eskimos will be the new president and CEO. Morris was an offensive lineman with Edmonton from 1992 to 2005 and has spent the last 12 years as head coach of the UofA’s Golden Bears football team. The Elks have struggled in recent years and haven’t made the playoffs since 2019 so Morris has quite the challenge before him beginning with hiring new support staff who will work together to change the recent trend.
