    Popp, Bang, Boom. If he has promised to NEVER coach this team, I am pleased. I suspect he can hit the ground running. It would have taken one of those NFL guys a couple of years, and the Argos don't have the time to fritter away like that. Maybe he can deliver Trestman?

    Naylor has been tweeting this tonight as well.

    Doesn't seem official yet. Perhaps the thread title can be ammended with a '?' at the end for now.

    According to Lawless he's been seen with Larry Tannenbaum sounds promising. Don't mind ownership being involved here.

    Tanebaum gets tired of Copeland tooting around North America and brings in a GM himself. I don't think Popp was the first choice but something had to be done. Could be worse I guess. Just don't let him try to Coach. lol

    Very possible, he's going to hire him to replace Copeland.

    GOB recycling at it's finest. Total joke if it turns out - sorry bout that but Poop was a clueless clown in his last few Als' seasons. Is he going to sign a bunch of ex-NFL has beens or all-American heroes for the Argos? - fits a time honored Argo tradition i guess. Desperation GOB time.

    If he focuses solely on what he does best which is being a general manager, this would be an excellent hiring for the Argos. However, if he insists on coaching as well, I would have more concerns.

    After a couple of tries at coaching, hopefully Popp has learned a lesson and will stick to being a GM where he has had considerable success.

    Naylor seems pretty adament that this is not just a chance encounter, and that Popp should be the next.GM, bringing with him Trestman as Head Coach. I'm not really crazy about either move, especially Trestman as Head Coach, as I was hoping to never again see the Trestman/Milanovich offence ever again here in Toronto.

    A combination of Trestman and Condell could make an awesome sauce. Matthews ain't there by accident.

    Keep in mind Milanovich came to Toronto on the coat tails of Trestman success. Scott M was OC but Trestman made the calls on game day. My point is, just because we had Scott M, does not really mean we had the Trestman offence

    BTW Gary Lawless, though adds a disclaimer at end, but he pretty much states it`s a done deal if you listen to the full audio at TSN, States TSN has confirmed that Trestman is gauging interest in coaches through a mediator, basically putting a team together

    Yikes we would have been better off keeping Barker. Not a fan of Popp. He thinks he is gods gift to the cfl.

    I am always surprised how critical people are of Popp's last few years. Do you not think this had a lot to do with the ownership group getting in his way. I understood some of the poor coaching decisions were pushed upon Popp by ownership... not his choice. Anyhow, I don't see how this could be bad. Our ownership group has deeper pockets and could lead to some legit splashy signings in the future. The structure should have Copeland running the business end of things if he is at all capable and a guy like Popp dealing with all football decisions. I think this would work out well. Rumour is Trestman is checking out who has interest in being part of a coaching staff in Toronto.... hopefully all this stuff gets resolved soon and we can put a real team together for this season.
    CFL alive and well all others can go to Hell!

    The inability to properly replace Anthony Calvillo is what haunts Popp's last couple of years in Montreal. He was still finding decent talent on the defensive side of the ball, and likely overcompensated for the inexperience at QB by signing veteran receivers. Yes, I do not want him anywhere near the sideline as head coach.
