Rush relieve head coach Jeff McComb of his duties effective immediately

Saskatchewan Rush general manager Derek Keenan announced today head coach Jeff McComb has been relieved of his duties effective immediately. Derek Keenan and offensive coach Jimmy Quinlan will serve as associate head coaches for the remainder of the 2022 season, alongside defensive coach Jeremy Tallevi.

“Jimmy Quinlan is the Rush franchise, he’s been with the team from day one in 2006,” stated Keenan. Following this season, Keenan will once again step back from the bench and hand the keys over full-time to Quinlan, who will lead the Rush into the 2022-23 campaign as the head coach.

Why did Derek Keenan wait so long make this move? At 4-10 the Rush are clearly out of playoff contention. So why now?
