EDMONTON -- Chris Jones is from the small town of South Pittsburgh, Tenn. Heath Miller Steelers Jersey ., where, he says, theres a lot of blue collar people who "work extremely hard for their money." And that hard work, he said, is what he will bring to the Edmonton Eskimos as the 20th head coach in their history. He also brings a wealth of CFL experience. Hes been a defensive coach since 2002, including stints as an assistant head coach two years in Calgary and most recently as assistant head coach, assistant general manager and defensive co-ordinator for the Toronto Argonauts. Jones has been in the post-season each of his 12 years in the league, won seven division titles and three Grey Cups. The length of terms of his contract were not revealed. "Today is about 2014 and beyond," Eskimo general manager Ed Hervey said in introducing Jones to the media and fans on Wednesday. "I know I have selected the right person to coach this team. We know there is work to do but we are committed to making this thing right and I believe our team is in the right hands of Chris Jones." Saying he was "tremendously excited" to have his first head coaching job, Jones told the gathering of about 50 people in the Eskimos dressing room that he remembers growing up in South Pittsburgh "where they make cast iron and all I wanted to do is be a head football coach. "Now I have a chance to do it with what I feel like is the best organization in this league and I fully expect to put together a great staff, I fully expect to win a ton of games and bring a Grey Cup back here. "My teams have won a lot of games, Grey Cup championships. Its been a tremendous, tremendous ride and its going to continue in Edmonton." One of his first priorities is to secure a coaching staff. He wouldnt mention any names, he said, because many of the people hes looking at are employed by other teams and hes waiting for permission to speak to the individuals. But, he said, when it comes to finding his staff and upgrading the player roster, "were going to hit the ground running. This is not going to be one of those slow procedures. . . its going to come rather quickly." Jones, who was a guest coach with Edmonton in 1999 when Hervey was a rookie receiver on the team, brings an aggressive style and attitude and said the Eskimos will play that way under his regime. He takes over a team that went 4-14 in 2013, a record that resulted in the firing of head coach Kavis Reed and at times had Hervey publicly criticizing the players. "Some of the parts are here," Jones said of the Eskimos. "Its just a matter of finding some help in other spots. To win you need great players, great coaches and in the next few months we will work on that." Hervey, who publicly apologized to members of the media for his attitude towards and treatment of last season, said he wanted a head coach similar to him and he likes the fit between himself and Jones. "His resume speaks for itself. He has the type of attitude that we need here. The expectation levels are high and when you talk about what is expected I felt there was only one person who could meet those expectations and hes standing in front of you. "I made the right football decision, for many reasons. I firmly believe we have the right guy for the job. I believe in Chris Jones. When I look at our club I honestly believe he gives us the best chance of winning." Mike Daniels Black Friday Jersey . So is his surprisingly resilient team.

With future Hall-of-Famer Joe Sakic calling the shots as his roommate on the road, Liles had little choice in hotel viewing matters. "I didnt touch the remote much that year," he laughed. Fresh out of Michigan State University, Liles was surrounded by NHL legends during that 2003-2004 campaign in Denver. Not only did he room with a two-time Stanley Cup champion and former Hart Trophy winner in Sakic, but he was also paired with a pretty good defenceman in his day, former Norris Trophy winner Rob Blake. It didnt stop there though for the former fifth round pick. Among the other names on that Avalanche roster: Teemu Selanne, Peter Forsberg, Paul Kariya, and Adam Foote. He could certainly do worse for tutors as a young player entering the NHL. Now as the oldest player on the Leafs roster, just 30, nearly six months the senior of Tim Connolly, Liles finds himself in an unusual position: elder statesmen. "Its funny," said Liles. "When I got traded to the Leafs, my Dad was all over me, saying I was the oldest guy and my brother was kind of giving me some flack as well. "Its a new thing for me." On Monday night in the preseason opener against the Ottawa Senators, a 4-2 Leafs win, Liles was paired wiith fleet-footed 21-year-old Jake Gardiner, not unlike himself back in those early Colorado days. Frank Gore Black Friday Jersey. But rather than soaking up lessons from Blake and Foote, the Indiana native was engaged in the vastly different position of mentor. "Youre always learning," said Liles, who enters his eighth NHL season after a 46-point campaign a year ago. "It may not even be little things on the ice, its things off the ice. Some of the best things I learned off the ice were from Rob Blake. "Adam Foote would always tell me Youre a rookie for five years in the league; act like youre a rookie for five years and youll be in a good spot. The second thing my Dad told me was Be a sponge, soak everything up. Try and take everything in." The vet was certainly impressed with the early returns from the kid. Gardiner registered two assists in just over 16 minutes of ice-time on Monday night, often jumping up into the play before Liles even had the chance. "I felt like I think my D-partners feel sometimes because I go to jump and I look over and the young legs are two, three steps ahead of me," said Liles. "He was easy to play with which is a good thing to say about a young kid because a lot of times it can be tough when guys are learning." And if theres one thing Liles has learned, its that you never stop learning. ' ' '
