Geroy Simon interim general manager, Jarious Jackson will be interim head coach
The Elks announced Monday that Jones has been fired as the team’s head coach and general manager, ending what has been a dismal second stint with the CFL club for the four-time Grey Cup winner.
The Elks, looking to turn the corner after three straight dreadful seasons, have looked more competitive this season. But that has not translated into victories.“Chris worked extremely hard to improve our football team over the last several seasons and we thank him for that,” Elks president and chief executive officer Rick LeLacheur said in a statement.
