CFL on CBC panel take Argo management to task

I feel a bit silly here, I just discovered a pretty interesting feature on the CBC Sports website. My bad for neglecting to pass along such an informative and well done feature by the folks at CBC.

The CFL on CBC panel of Tillman, Frers, Millington and Friedman provide a recap and preview of the weeks top stories on the CBC portal, this weeks project was a tough talking examination of the Toronto Argonauts decision to fire offensive co-ordinator Kent Austin.

Tillman in particular pulled no punches (and probably can pull any plans for an Argo resume) with his spot on observation that it was the Toronto ownership that spent all that money in the off season on American talent, neglecting the Canadian spots, which has them in a bit of a bind at the moment.

He also rightly pointed out that Austin was not responsible for the Argonaut back up quarterback selection process, that again was an upper management call. Considering it was his offence that won them a Grey Cup two years ago, it does seem hard to understand how he's the cause of the Boatmen's problems at the moment.

You can view the panel discussion for this week and the seven weeks prior here, also check back regularly to our right hand column, now that I've discovered it, I'll add it to the press box section as well.
