The Edmonton Elks have hired Rick Campbell as a coaching analyst, the team announced on Tuesday. The 55-year-old served as the special teams coordinator with the Ottawa Redblacks last season, though he wasn't retained on Ryan Dinwiddie's new staff. Campbell has 26 years of CFL coaching experience, including head coaching stints with the Ottawa Redblacks and B.C. Lions. He went 44-62-2 with the Redblacks from 2014 to 2019, helping lead the team to an upset victory over the Calgary Stampeders in the 104th Grey Cup. Ed Hervey, who is now the general manager of the Elks, hired Campbell as the head coach in B.C. in 2020. The veteran coach went 38-30 over four seasons with the Lions but was fired after the team lost the West Semi-Final in 2024. Campbell, who was born in Spokane, Wash. and raised partly in Edmonton, has previously spent 11 years as an assistant with his hometown team. He helped Edmonton win Grey Cups in 2003 and 2005 before becoming a Canadian citizen in 2011. #Elks #Elk...
