THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — The Edmonton Eskimos’ entire 2016 coaching staff will be back for another season, the team announced Wednesday, led by Head Coach Jason Maas.

The only change is the addition of Carson Walch, who will be the offensive coordinator. Walch served as the receivers coach and pass game coordinator last season.

Last season, Maas’ staff coached the Eskimos to a 10-8 record and an appearance in the Eastern Final via the crossover.

Despite turnover both on the coaching staff and the roster, the Esks boasted the CFL’s number one offence with 418.7 yards per game.
