Hopeful he doesn't cut and run after 2 years but I have a bad feeling he will.
The four-year deal is significant, as Jones left bad tastes in the mouth of many fans as he left Edmonton right after the 2015 Grey Cup win to take the reins with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He then joined the coaching staff of the NFL's Cleveland Browns before joining the Toronto Argonauts as a defensive consultant.
He promised he would not only work to rebuild the Elks, but to meet with high-school coaches and build the sport in the community. As for maybe going back to the NFL one day?
"I've been to Disney World, and I'm glad I am right here."
He received an enthusiastic welcome from Ian Murray, the chair of the Elks' board of governors.

Ahh... the Jackie Parker Years. With team-mates Normie Kwan, Johnny Bright, Rollie Miles, Don Getty, etc. this might have been the teamiest team ever to play in Edmonton. As a 9-year old kid at the time, I remember those days well.1956
