Eskimos head coach Maas good with giving up play-calling duties to Walch
There’ll be a surprise visitor this season at the Edmonton Eskimos’ special-teams and defensive meetings.
Sophomore head coach Jason Maas expects to sit in on the sessions in 2017 after promoting Carson Walch to offensive co-ordinator and relinquishing play-calling duties to him. Maas served both as head coach and offensive co-ordinator last season while also calling Edmonton’s offensive plays.
Maas said he’s comfortable offloading some of his responsibilities to Walch so he can take a more complete role in running the team.
“I’m one of those coaches that when I feel like a guy is ready to become a co-ordinator and call plays I’m never going to stand in that guy’s way,” Maas said during a CFL conference call. “(Walch) is very deserving of the opportunity.
