The Edmonton Elks cleaned house on Monday after a tumultuous season with issues on and off the field.
The team fired president Chris Presson, general manager Brock Sunderland and head coach Jamie Elizondo.
The Elks lost their final game 43-10 to the BC Lions on Friday and finished the season with three wins and 11 losses, including no wins at home.
They also had the CFL's worst COVID-19 outbreak of the season when more than a dozen members tested positive for the disease.
The organization is holding a news conference at 1:30 p.m. Watch live on CTVNewsEdmonton.ca.
TSN's Dave Naylor is reporting veteran Calgary Stampeders and B.C. Lions coach and general manager Wally Buono will serve in a transitional role until a new general manager is in place.
Presson declined comment when reached by phone. He was hired in 2019 and oversaw the team's name change that was accelerated by a sponsor backlash in the summer of 2020.
