Elks promote Jackson to offensive coordinator, move quarterback Taylor Cornelius to No. 3 on depth chart
When the 0-8 Edmonton Elks return to action after a bye week, they’ll have a new offensive co-ordinator calling the plays and a different quarterback under centre.
He replaces outgoing offensive co-ordinator Stephen McAdoo. Elks general manager and head coach Chris Jones said McAdoo will be “repositioned” in the coaching staff and have more responsibilities on the defensive side.He added that he and McAdoo spoke three weeks ago, and understood things were critical for an offence that has sputtered this season.
“Certainly his confidence has been hurt,” Jones said. “I look at it like a starting pitcher in baseball. They don’t just throw their starting pitcher out when he loses his curveball in the seventh. They bring in people to try and help him. So we’re going to look at all avenues. Jackson said the Elks have to do a better job getting the ball into the hands of players with big-play potential. He added they need to involve running back Kevin Brown and wide receiver Dillon Mitchell more in the offence.
