Atomic Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 And let's be honest... when your boss gets fired you probably aren't feeling super secure in your position. Even if it's not more money, why wouldn't he take an NFL opportunity right now? It will only increase his reputation in the CFL and someday a desperate team will probably throw a bunch of cash at him to come back and run their team. Noeller, MOBomberFan and wbbfan 3

He likely made his decision a while ago and has been applying for other jobs. It was rumoured that Milanovich wanted to get fired because he didn't like the structure of the organization. Also, if he was fired he would have been able to collect from the Argos for 2 years plus the Jags. It was looking like he wasn't going to get fired so he quit. Atomic 1
Taynted_Fayth Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) in fairness to Gale, if you can win with the **** show that was the 2016 riders, you must have some kinda talent Edited January 28, 2017 by Taynted_Fayth wbbfan and johnzo 2

Maybe because he took the riders to a win against ottawa putting up 350+ yards when the riders were 0 fer with durant previously on the season. Maybe because hes a little bit younger then davis, but played a ton more football at both college and the pro level. And managed to take a no2 spot and as previously mentioned start and win a game in the cfl. vs being a default no3. Or maybe because he has a better passing tool set.

Wow he won one game against Ottawa's third stringer, who came in off the bench if I remember. His stats aren't that great either. 55% completion %, and last year he threw more ints than touchdowns.

coach17 Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 http://3downnation.com/2017/01/27/former-ticats-oc-tommy-condell-joins-argos/ I wonder if Milanovich made some kind of deal. Sure this was in place.
rebusrankin Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 Gale had a big passing game and helped them win against Ottawa's third stringer by a point at home, in a game where the refs didn't call PI on the Riders in the final minute, which they should have, which sets up Ottawa to win.
Dr. Blue Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 Also, last year was Gale's fourth year in the CFL and he was passed on the depth chart by two rookie QBs. He was on the Argos PR when they traded him. Oh and Gale is a whole 6 months younger than Davis.

M.O.A.B. Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) Good thing we signed Walters & O'Shea long term. Chamblin is available. Edited January 28, 2017 by M.O.A.B. Noeller 1
M.O.A.B. Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) I would think most (if not all) of Argo's free-agent will be going to free-agency. Maybe Coombs is feeling sorry he re-sgined with them already. Diontae Spencer is a nice pickup if we can't re-sign McDuffie. Bryan Hall is a nice pickup if we cant re-sign Cummings. Van Roten is a very good OL and can play all position on the line. Dupuis is a good replacement for Tuck. Edited January 28, 2017 by M.O.A.B.
Fatty Liver Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 (edited) 5 hours ago, Atomic said: Yeah I like Cato. Not sure if he's a better option than Davis, I'd like to see them both here competing for the backup job. From what I saw of Cato last season I think he is a little emotionally unhinged, which is part of the PTSD acquired growing up in a Miami ghetto. It looks like he would require plenty of babysitting.

johnzo Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 There was a story on slam.ca about Toronto not being in a hurry to hire a general manager ... yikes.

And, fwiw, Madani saying that the Argos tried to hire him in a similar "Special Advisor" role last year, but the TiCats blocked them on it. He's going to help with player personnel things, for the time being... Edited January 28, 2017 by Noeller
