Eric Tillman with babysitter gate aside did what nobody could do in 18 years in one season in Saskatchewan and that was bring Kent Austin when everybody else in the CFL thought bringing in an offensive coach was absolutely insane but they brought the 95th Grey Cup back to Saskatchewan. Then brought in the pieces that helped the Rough riders be a powerhouse for fourth straight seasons and making three Grey Cup appearances with the team he brought in. Then he goes to Edmonton within his first season he has put together a roster and the success the Eskimos have been lacking over the three or four seasons coming into this one and will be hosting a playoff game after outside looking in for so long in Edmonton terms as they had like 33 consecutive playoff appearances before this drought. He also was able to bring a very energetic head coach named Kavis Reed who had not been a head coach before but turned the whole CFL on its ear as they began their 5-0 and Eric Tillman will be a great Argo GM as he always starts his career in a place that team have always been successful.
Wally Buono is simply the best head coach in the CFL and he is coaching the BC Lions which are owed by David Braley who also owns the Toronto Argos and needs to make a big splash with the hundredth Grey Cup in Toronto next November and he has convinced Wally to head east to turn the Argos ship in the right direction and will be the glue that will bring the Argos back to power with Anthony Calvillo is heading into retirement. Braley is hoping this will bring fans back to Argo games but I really do not know if Henry Burris bringing the Grey Cup to the Argos will even make a difference in the stands.
Hundredth Grey Cup is in T.O. but how many people really seriously care in the city
