EDMONTON – Rick Campbell is back with the Edmonton Elks.
The CFL team hired Campbell as a coaching analyst Tuesday.
Campbell began his CFL coaching career as defensive backs and special-teams co-ordinator with Edmonton (1999-04), as well as the defensive co-ordinator (2005-08) and won two Grey Cup titles with the organization.
Campbell’s father, Hugh, guided Edmonton to five straight Grey Cup titles (1978-82) as head coach and later served as a GM, president and CEO before retiring in 2006.
Rick Campbell, 55, also served as the head coach of Ottawa (2014-2019) and the B.C. Lions (2021-24). He was the Redblacks’ special-teams co-ordinator last season.
Campbell won a third Grey Cup as a coach in 2016 with Ottawa.
