Step One: GM
Step Two: Head Coach
2/4/99
By hiring Eric Tillman as their GM, the Argonauts completed the first
of many steps needed to successfully navigate their way toward the 1999
season. The February 3 hiring of Eric Tillman was completed in such
rapid fashion that he did not even have time to, in his mind, adequately
dress for the news conference.
Tillman indicated that among the next orders of operations is the
acquisition of a new head coach, a process that he said was going to be
done right, and to do so, proper time and consideration will have to go
into assembling the list of candidates.
Prior to the hiring of Tillman, team President Bob Nicholson was

position, in addition to signing Toronto's present free agents. Now
having acquired a GM, Nicholson will no longer be concentrating his
efforts on the coaching requirements, he will instead leave that role to
Tillman.
