The Ottawa Redblacks hired Khari Jones as the team’s offensive coordinator on Saturday.
He’ll also serve as an assistant to head coach Bob Dyce, who had the interim tag removed from his title on Friday.
Jones was previously the head coach of the Montreal Alouettes for three seasons until he was fired in July.
He then served as a football operations consultant with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for the rest of the season.
The 51-year-old Jones guided the Als to the playoffs in both 2019 and 2021.
Before his time in Montreal, Jones spent three seasons as offensive coordinator of the BC Lions, helping them to a West Final appearance in 2016.
He was also quarterbacks coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders from 2012-2013, where he enjoyed a victory in the 101st Grey Cup. Jones initially broke into the coaching ranks with the Ticats as quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator from 2009-2011.
Jones previously had considerable success as a player. The former quarterback earned Most Outstanding Player and CFL All-Star honours in 2001 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers en route to a Grey Cup appearance. He was also named a CFL West All-Star in 2002.
