He would have been a good candidate but I don't see him as being head and shoulders above any of the other candidates whose names we have heard.
Honestly, I have no issue with any of the names I have heard. Ultimately, the success of whomever is chosen will have as much to do with what kind of coaching staff they can put together as anything else.
Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force

The last update from Lalji of TSN reports as such:
You can also add Tommy Condell to the list....The Toronto Argonauts will interview Corey Chamblin for their head coaching job Monday, according to a report from TSN Football Insider Dave Naylor. Chamblin served as the Argonauts defensive coordinator on Marc Trestman's staff in 2017 before spending last season at the University of Arkansas.
The Argos are expected to pause after Monday to decide if they want to schedule more interviews or choose a coach based on those they’ve interviewed so far. That list includes Calgary Stampeders defensive coordinator DeVone Claybrooks, Ottawa Redblacks offensive coordinator Jaime Elizondo, Redblacks defensive coordinator Noel Thorpe, and Winnipeg Blue Bombers offensive coordinator Paul LaPolice.
Given the coaching interviews, I would be included to offer either Chamblin or Thorpe a shot. That way hopefully Archer wont be back coaching our defense...
With Steinauer now out of the running, my vote would be Chamblin or Claybrooks.
I don't know if it means much but Popp and Chamblin were at a Raptors game together. Before Popp was hired he went to a Leafs game with MLSE chairman Larry Tannenbaum.
Let's see who is in the press box with Popp tonight at the leafs game?
According to Frank Z, of the Toronto Sun - if Chamblin is indeed hired, expect Tommy Condell to be named offensive coordinator....and Zach Collaros to return???
]If Chamblin is, indeed, appointed as Argos head coach, expect Tommy Condell to serve as offensive co-ordinator.This has to be an absolute coup for the team should it occur.Condell is a brilliant offensive mind.He’s the kind of guy who can extract much more from James Franklin than the Argos’ previous regime, which, to be brutally honest, did a terrible job after Popp first traded for Franklin’s rights from Edmonton and later compensated Franklin in line with what starter’s typically earn. It’s a big if, but if Condell is given the keys to the Argos’ offence and is allowed complete autonomy, you can expect Zach Collaros, who is eligible for free agency, to contemplate a move to Toronto.
Tommy C has been interviewed in the past for the Montreal HC position, and of course assuming the Argos position. I presume he is highly respected and may provide some continuity.
It looks like the Lions are going with Mr. Claybrooks.
