THE CHRIS JONES ERA AS HEAD COACH & GENERAL MANAGER OF EDMONTON ELKS COMES TO A LAMENTABLE END

After a 0-5 start to this season in which they lost four straight games by exactly three points, including the last three on game-winning field goals as time expired. Coming close doesn't add points to the stats so Elks’ president and CEO Rick LeLacheur made the difficult decision and move during this stage of the season to bring the Chris Jones era with the Elks to an end.

The season is still salvageable so Geroy Simon will take over as interim general manager, while offensive co-ordinator and quarterbacks coach Jarious Jackson will become the team’s interim head coach and offensive play-caller.
