Jarious Jackson

Quarterbacks Coach

The Blue Bombers named Jackson as quarterbacks coach on February 4, 2025.

Jackson joins the Blue Bombers after spending the last three seasons with the Edmonton Elks as offensive coordinator and as interim coach after being promoted to the position last July following a management change.

The Elks were 7-6 with Jackson as head coach after beginning the season 0-5 before the change, and Edmonton finished first in points scored (27.6), first in rushing yards per game (131.4) and second in net offence per game (390.3).

Jackson began coaching in the CFL in 2013 with the B.C. Lions and has since worked with Edmonton (2014-15), Saskatchewan (2016-17), B.C. (2018-19), Toronto (2020-21) and then again with the Elks since 2022.

A two-year starting quarterback at the University of Notre Dame, Jackson set single season school records for yards passing, completions and attempts in 1999, his senior season, and was a seventh-round pick of the Denver Broncos in the 2000 NFL Draft.

He spent 13 years as pro with the Broncos (2000), Barcelona Dragons (2001), Broncos (2001-03), B.C. (2004-11) and Toronto (2012) and is a four-time Grey Cup champion – 2006, 2011 and 2012 as a player and 2015 as an assistant coach.
