YES!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to the Elks organization. You've answered our wishes! Tre Ford is the future, please play him for the rest of the season! He'll get us our first win!
Pay no attention to my Av for the moment. Born and raised in Edmonton and I bleed Green and Gold. Thank you to the Elks organization for giving me reason to hope again! I live in Winnipeg now and I am tired of hearing Bombers fans talk about trading for Tre Ford. He is EE all the way. Play him!!
Jones thought he had the team in a box with his huge contract and no apparent relief from it...the pres just peeled the tape off all of the box's seams and kicked Jones to the curb. I am surprised he lasted this long with his now 8-33 record. The dismal record, the sheer arrogance of the man, and the dispirited and disorganized team on display, especially at home games sealed his fate.
The Elks is a new name, albeit not well thought out product branding. So when do all the players and coaching staff change over to wearing purple fez's complete with yellow tassels? Just asking.
None of this was Chris Jones's fault. When BC started 0and 5 they did not fire Wally Bouno instead they acquired Arland Bruce and went on to win the Grey Cup. Until Tre Ford starts games for the Elks they will continue to lose. If the spurs fired Gregg Popovich before he got David Robinson and Tim Duncan than there would be no legacy to talk about. The only thing Chris Jones did wrong this year is not start Tre Ford. He is a superstar caliber talent and all the Edmonton Elks are doing is keeping him on the sideline which is pointless. If anyone thinks that Bethel Thompson is going to win games consistently than there nuts. His best days are clearly behind d him. He is still capable of winning in the CFL but he is no longer an elite level QB in the CFL. Tre Ford last season had the Elks winning and extremely competitive until #2 Tre Ford starts every game this team will continue to be average at best. Jarious Jackson and Geroy Simon can't do anything from the sideline the players win and lose games all the coach can do is game plan. If this were Chris Jones fault I would tell you it is but it's not..Let Tre Ford play if you want to win games in Edmonton bottom line. Stop blaming coaches. Unfortunately Chris Jones was in a difficult situation here. However he is not the reason the Elks are 0 and 5. It's the idiots that keep committing penalties in the 4th quarter and missing defensive assignments and missing Field Goals fumbles Interceptions kicking the ball out of bounds none of that is Chris Jones fault. The only firings this week that were appropriate should have been the Special Teams coordinator and defensive coordinator. Did Chris Jones tell that idiot Boris Bede to kick the ball out of bounds with 7 seconds left did Chris Jones tell the safety to vacate the middle of the field and give up a 30 yard pass to Dru Brown to set up Lucas Ward's field goal. How come the Red Black's did not fire Bob Dyce last season you know why because they were intelligent enough to get different players who want to win and not make a knee jerk reaction Now look a year later Ottawa is actually a winning team because they are smart enough to nor blame the coach they fixed the problem by getting different players to fit the sceme look at the results case closed. By the way Bob Dyce was not fired after blowing a 17 point lead @ BC last year in the 4th quarter. Instead they let him get the ship right and now the dividends are paying off. Stop firing coaches unless you ate getting blown out and embarrassed each week than that's different. Instead if you lose close games you get rid of the PLAYERS.
Elks name sucks! Like Trudeau, this destroys history tradition and culture!! All so that nobody is offended… the Inuit were ok with Eskimos. This is about grocery stores worrying about losing business from old ladies that don’t watch football!
Hope this woke team goes bankrupt. Where are all the sponsors and losers that said they would support them. They need to fire everybody then change the name back.

Not the qbs fault. The defense is terrible
@@lbcoach2295 if they don’t play ford they will lose him and why do you think the defence sucked?
@YKDarpy They didn't show up when they needed to. Offense is going, defense isn't
@@lbcoach2295 and yet they drafted a LB as the #1 overall pick and he's playing on special teams! Makes no sense.
@@thejosh_roberts I absolutely agree
Alabama loves the elks.
About damn time!!!
WHY DID WE WAIT SO DAMN LONG
You have your #1 overall draft pick playing special teams, when you need help at LB!! Totally unacceptable!! Play him already!!
@@thejosh_robertsAgreed!
@@user-xl2uj5gp6d Because they will have to eat Jones's huge salary and this is the poor CFL.
😅
Ironic that the team has been bad since they changed their name. My team died that day.
The CFL has been a joke since that day.
Woke disaster.

Put your #1 overall pick in the damn game already. We need help at LB !
Thank God!!!! From ridiculous name change to this!! Its done. Lets get to work!

I feel nothing for my hometown team since the name change. The woke craze is over, bring the Eskimos back to the CFL
At least 2 of the close losses were directly fault of poor coaching. Jones loved undisciplined aggression.
Their team play was marked by poor player discipline...and from the beginning of Jones' regime. We saw it again in his last game.
@@grahammcfadyenhill9555 Yes and the same when Jason Maas managed the team.

Should have fired Jason Shivers & kept jones till the next bye week. Hard to change anything in a short week.
Maybe they should be more inclusive by hiring a gay GM!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂

Grow up. There is no curse. The Elks name is fine. Jones is a Coordinator at heart, not a HC.
Elks name sucks! Like Trudeau, this destroys history tradition and culture!! All so that nobody is offended… the Inuit were ok with Eskimos. This is about grocery stores worrying about losing business from old ladies that don’t watch football!
Keep telling yourself that.
Losing money, cursed
come on eiskoms get some wins lets go eiskoms
I hope the new owners change the name back to the Eskimos ! It's a proud name ! enough of this woke crap !
Hope this woke team goes bankrupt. Where are all the sponsors and losers that said they would support them. They need to fire everybody then change the name back.
EDMONTON should change their name to the EAGLES
What’s your excuse before jones came along, time to look in mirror
