“I’m looking forward to the opportunity of being an offensive coordinator again in the CFL,” said Jackson. He began his coaching career as the Lions quarterbacks coach in 2013 and later served on Jones’s staffs in Edmonton (2014-15) and Saskatchewan (2016-17). Jackson previously served as an offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach with the Toronto Argonauts in 2021 and B.C. “We’ve got 10 games to make significant strides as a team this season, and Jarious is going to be a key part of that process.” “Jarious has proven in his career that he’s up to the task of leading an offence to success, and I expect that to be the case given his abilities and familiarity with our team. “It’s never easy to make a significant change to your coaching staff during the season, but our results haven’t been up to our standards,” Elks general manager and head coach Chris Jones said in a release. McAdoo, who was named offensive coordinator in January 2022, will remain on staff in an advisory role. Jackson will handle offensive game planning and play-calling duties effective immediately, the Elks said.
