Ottawa signs Marcel Desjardins and Rick Campbell to multi-year extensions

The Ottawa RedBlacks have signed general manager Marcel Desjardins and head coach Rick Campbell to multi-year extensions, the team announced.

"Both Marcel and Rick are top-quality football men who have established a culture of excellence within our football organization," said president Jeff Hunt. "The results speak for themselves. We know that we'll succeed with Marcel and Rick, which is great news for our organization and for our fans."

After a 2-16 record in their inaugural season, Campbell led the RedBlacks to an East division title in 2015, losing in the Grey Cup to the Edmonton Eskimos.

The terms of the contracts have yet to be announced.
