I'm very happy with Trestman, I think he's a better hire than Popp. Popp is a good hire, Trestman is a great hire.

But if it took Popp to get Trestman, that would make Popp the key hire.

Thank God

Replaced the photocopies with the originals.... never a bad thing.

Chamblin in the mix to become DC. Looks like Stubler won't be.

Corey Chamblin is one of the most experienced defensive coach available. Don't be surprised if he joins Trestman's staff as DC. #Argos @CFL

Heard this too. Rich Stubler is apparently not in the mix I've been told.

Congratulations to both Jim Popp and Marc Trestman on their new employment opportunities. I wish them both success as members of the Toronto Argonauts.

Seriously though..I am esctatic!!!! Can't wait to see the rest of the coaching staff. I have no issue with Chamblin, a Grey Cup winning HC being the DC.

We have a DC in Rich Stubler, no way he is going anywhere unless I missed his retirement announcement? oops I see a rumor above, my bad, this a surprise to me, hope it`s not true

[paulwoods13]

The new coach absolutely must be able to choose his own coaches. So if Trestman doesn't want Stubler, so be it.

[Golden Fleece]

It might still be a rough season, but I have faith in a faster turnaround now. Playoffs by year 2 instead of 3.

While I do like that Trestman is coming here, a part of me is very concerned that we'll have a variation of the same offense we've had since 2010. Trestman was also let go in Baltimore due to his supposed inability to maximize the talent, lack of run and big play - where have we heard or seen this before ?

Chamblin as DC is a scary thought. As is potentially keeping Brady around. I was hoping that Brady and Younger would be given the boot.

I think Gabe addressed this pretty well:

Removing his win-loss record, this doesn't sound too shabby

2015: (with Baltimore) The Ravens’ offense set a franchise record by averaging 266.9 passing yards per game, despite starting four QBs (Joe Flacco, Matt Schaub, Jimmy Clausen and Ryan Mallett) for the first time in team history...Baltimore ranked 14th in the NFL in total net yards (5,749), second most in Ravens history...Flacco, who missed the final six games with a season-ending knee injury, was on pace to throw for a career-high 4,466 yards...Baltimore, which finished the season with six offensive starters on Injured Reserve, allowed the NFL’s third-fewest sacks (24).


2013-14: (with Chicago) 2013: Trestman’s Bears set single-season franchise records in total net yards (6,109), net passing yards (4,281), passing TDs (32) and passer rating (96.9)...QBs Jay Cutler and Josh McCown both had career years, with McCown setting the single-season franchise record in passer rating (109.0) and completion pct. (66.5), while Cutler finished second (now fourth) in Bears single-season history with a 63.1 completion percentage and a then-career-best 89.2 passer rating...Pro Bowl RB Matt Forte ranked second in the NFL in rushing yards (1,339), while Pro Bowl WRs Alshon Jeffery (sixth, 1,421) and Brandon Marshall (11th, 1,295) were among the league leaders in receiving yards...Trestman became the 14th head coach in Chicago Bears history.

Absolutely Paul, Trestman has an excellent track record in the CFL and knows the type of coaching staff needed to succeed.
Give him free reign to do so.

Glad to hear a change will be made at DC.
Painful to watch last season.

[ArgoGabe22]

I think Gabe addressed this pretty well:

His bio didn't include 2016 though. Reason for his firing? "Ravens were not taking many shots down the field, despite a bevy of weapons, and often settled for dump-off passes".

Chamblin's defenses were atrocious in Hamilton and Saskatchewan, so I'm really hoping that he's is not Stubler's replacement, but it's not like Stubler deserves to return either.

I hope I'm not the only one that thinks this sounds familiar.

Wait and see how it plays out SnowRogue, coaching options will be somewhat limited at this time.
After the last several weeks and months this is an interesting and exciting time for Argonaut supporters!!!

I hope not too, the dink and dunk era?
The Milanovich system?
Regardless though the professor is an excellent hiring, Popp could be if he get's his GM magic back.

Wait, I thought there were no positives in the forseeable future? Did you not forsee that we would hire a coach and GM? (kidding)
