![CFL: Mark Killam next Elks head coach, insider says [Video]](https://canadanewsvideo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/mp_684325_0_stampedersvselks171299261733094431690jpg.jpg)
Mark Killam will be the next head coach of the Edmonton Elks, a Canadian Football League insider says.
TSN’s Farhan Lalji reported Saturday that Killam, who the Calgary Stampeders let go last month, will assume the reins from Jarious Jackson, who was the Elks’ interim head coach after Chris Jones was fired in July.
Killam had been with the Stampeders organizations for 20 seasons and had most recently been the CFL team’s assistant head coach and special teams coordinator.
The 45-year-old Lethbridge native is a graduate of the University of Alberta and played university football at linebacker for the Edmonton post-secondary school’s Golden Bears football team from 1997 to 2001.
