The Edmonton Eskimo Football Club announces the contract extension of Head Coach Kavis Reed. As per club policy, the terms of the contract are not disclosed.
“This extension gives us stability going forward,” says Eskimos General Manager Ed Hervey. “Leadership is critical to a young football team for success and I know our players work extremely hard for and are committed to Coach Reed.”
Reed enters his third season as head coach of the Edmonton Eskimo Football Club and his 13th as a CFL coach. In his first season, he led an impressive turnaround of the club's fortunes, finishing with an 11-7 record, second in the CFL Western Division and hosting a home playoff game for the first time since 2004. The success saw him named as a finalist for the 2011 CFL Coach of the Year Award. In 2012, the Eskimos finished the season with a 7-11 record, losing the Eastern Semi-Final to the eventual Grey Cup champion Toronto Argonauts.
A former Eskimos defensive back (1995-99), Reed spent 10 seasons as an assistant coach in the CFL before being named the 19th head coach of the club on Dec. 10, 2011.
