Career highlights and awards

Jean-Marc Edmé (born March 23, 1980) is the Director of Player Personnel for the Ottawa Redblacks of the Canadian Football League (CFL).[1] He is a three-time Grey Cup champion, having won two as a coach and a scout with the Alouettes and then winning the 104th Grey Cup with the Redblacks as the team's Player Personnel Coordinator in 2016.

Playing career[]

Edmé played college football for the Alcorn State Braves on a scholarship for two years, but injuries limited his playing time.[2] He then transferred to the Université de Sherbrooke to play for the Vert et Or following the revival of the school's football program in 2003.[2]

He was briefly added to the practice roster of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in October 2007.[3]

Canadian Football League career[]

After first joining the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as an administrative intern in 2007, Edmé was also named an assistant coach to then-head coach Charlie Taaffe's staff.[2] On May 2, 2008, he was named a defensive assistant coach for the Montreal Alouettes while also serving as a scout for the team.[4] He was a member of two Grey Cup-winning teams in 2009 and 2010. After the team's head coach, Marc Trestman, left the team following the 2012 season, Edmé shifted solely to scout duties as the team's Pro/College and Advance scout in 2013.[5]

On January 19, 2016, it was announced that Edmé had been hired by the Ottawa Redblacks to serve as the team's Player Personnel Coordinator.[5] In his first year with the Redblacks, the team won the 104th Grey Cup.[6] On May 11, 2017, it was announced that he had been promoted to Ottawa's Director of Player Personnel.[7]

Personal life[]

Edmé has two brothers and his younger brother, Alexandre, played football for the Laval Rouge et Or.[2] Edmé obtained a bachelor's degree in Sports Administration at Laurentian University.[8]
