As soon as news surfaced that Edmonton Eskimos head coach was on his way to Saskatchewan, fans were tweeting out their reactions fast and furiously.

Some sounded deflated by the news.

Others were bitter.

More than one fan, perhaps slightly tongue-in-cheek,blamed the NDP.

Some took the high road.

One noted the sky-high expectations Jones will be encountering in Riderville.

One theme was the notion that the Riders are trying to buy their way to a Grey Cup.

Jones is coming into a far more problematic situation than he encounteredcoming in as the new Edmonton coach, one commenter noted.

Meanwhile, lots of happy people in Saskatchewan.
