The BC Lions Football Club today announced that Jarious
Jackson has been named offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Jackson, the former Lions quarterback who spent seven
seasons with the club as a player and the 2013 campaign as the team’s
quarterbacks coach, was most recently the passing game coordinator and
quarterbacks coach for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 2016 and 2017.
“Ed and I are very pleased to welcome Jarious back to the
Lions,” said head coach Wally Buono. “My thoughts on Jarious’ ability as a
coach are well–documented and he has gained some valuable experience over the
past number of years. He’s enjoyed a significant amount of success since being
here in 2013 and we’re fortunate to have him returning to our organization.”
Prior to his two-year stint in Saskatchewan, Jarious spent a
pair of seasons with the Edmonton Eskimos as quarterbacks coach and passing
game coordinator where he helped tutor the Green and Gold’s stable of pivots
and enjoyed a Grey Cup win in 2015.
“I’m excited to return to where my career in the CFL began
in 2005,” said Jackson. “I believe the team that Ed and Wally are putting
together is going to be very competitive and I’m excited to be part of the
organization once again.”
