KHARI JONES GETS NEW 3-YEAR DEAL
MONTREAL – The Montreal Alouettes have signed head coach Khari Jones to a three-year contract extension.
Jones, who became interim coach after the team fired Mike Sherman just prior to the start of the 2019 season, guided the Alouettes to a 10-8 record and their first playoff berth since 2014. It was Jones’s first season as a CFL head coach.
The 48-year-old Jones also serves as offensive co-ordinator and quarterback coach for the club.
The Als, who have been owned by the CFL after the league took over the franchise from Robert Wetenhall on May 31, gave Jones an extension during ongoing ownership negotiations.
CFL sources have suggested Montreal natives Peter and Jeffrey Lenkov – who are both based in California – head up a partnership that includes Claridge Investment Ltd., a Montreal private investment firm.
The sources have been granted anonymity because the CFL has not revealed the names in the group it is negotiating with on the sale.
