EDMONTON — Ed Hervey didn’t hold back when describing the Edmonton Elks team. “I do not like where the club sits in the CFL, as far as the perception” said Hervey, who on Wednesday was introduced as the team’s new general manager.
“I do not like where the club sits in the CFL, as far as the perception” said Hervey, who on Wednesday was introduced as the team’s new general manager. “I would equate it to laughingstock.”
He returns to Edmonton from Hamilton, where he was the general manager of the Tiger Cats this past season. He thanked the Tiger-Cats’ organization for allowing him the chance to interview for the Elks’ job.He said he’s a different man than the one who ran the Elks in the mid-2010s. The recent passing of his mother gave him pause to refocus, and he recognizes a big part of his job is winning back the fans’ trust.
“There was no doubt as to who was the most qualified person for this job,” said Morris. “There was no doubt as to who had more experience, or the greatest level of experience for this job. And there was no doubt as to who was the person I felt was in the best position to lead this organization from a football standpoint.“
“I think Tre Ford is a very dynamic player,” said Hervey. “I don’t know him personally, I am looking forward to having the chance to speak with him. I’m looking forward to talking to him about his experience here, and seeing where he sees his future. I want to talk to him about my vision.
