Edmonton Eskimos fire GM, search on for replacement

Edmonton Eskimos head coach Richie Hall (right) is hugged by former Eskimos general manager and director of football operations  Danny Maciocia after the Eskimos defeated the BC Lions to win their first game of the season in Canadian Football League.

The Edmonton Eskimos’ first win of the CFL season wasn’t enough to save Danny Maciocia’s job. On Saturday, a day after the Eskimos ended a four-game losing streak to open the 2010 season, Maciocia was fired as the team’s general manager and director of football operations.
