EDMONTON — Casey Creehan is leaving the Edmonton Eskimos coaching staff to take on the head coach and associate athletic director positions at a liberal arts college in Arkansas.

Creehan served as the Eskimos' defensive line coach over the past two seasons. He will now run the program at Lyon College, a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.

"The Edmonton Eskimos would like to thank Casey for all that he contributed to the organization for the past two seasons," said Eskimos vice-president of football operations and general manager Brock Sunderland said in a release. "We wish him all the best in his new roles at Lyon College."
