In January 2012, David Bedford was appointed the Toronto Argonauts’ Sr. Vice President, Business Operations, responsible for every aspect of the day-to-day operations of the front office, as well as corporate vision, brand building and positioning, market development and sponsorship sales.

Jim BarkerGeneral Manager

Following the 2011 season, Jim Barker stepped down as the team’s Head Coach to focus on his duties as General Manager. He immediately exacted change by hiring new Head Coach Scott Milanovich and pulled the trigger on a blockbuster trade to bring QB Ricky Ray to Toronto.

Jim Barker returned to the Toronto Argonauts as Head Coach in 2010, transforming a team that had won seven games in two years and led them back to the playoffs with 10 wins, including a berth in the 2010 Eastern Division Final. Barker and his staff made 2010 a year full of optimism and growth. By season’s end, his roster boasted eight first-year starters along with seven division all-stars and four CFL all-stars. Following his successful season, Barker was promoted to General Manager & Head Coach and took home the Annus Stukus trophy as the 2010 CFL Coach of the Year.

2010 marked Barker’s second time in Double Blue. In 1997, he helped mastermind an offence that has since been regarded as one of the greatest in CFL history. At the time he was named Head Coach of the Double Blue in 1999, he was the youngest coach in the CFL. He has held coaching positions in the NCAA, CFL and XFL and is a three-time Grey Cup champion (1997, 2002, 2008) as both a coach and a football executive.

Barker’s track record as an evaluator and executive with the Calgary Stampeders is unquestioned. He rejoined the Stampeders in 2005 as the club’s General Manager and the team catapulted from its last place finish (4-14) in 2004 to second place in the West with a confident 11-7 record in just one season. At the end of 2007, John Hufnagel joined the Stampeders as Head Coach/General Manager and Barker became Senior Vice President, Football Operations/Director, Player Personnel as the club continued to thrive. The two worked together to bring the city a Grey Cup title in 2008. In all, Barker’s Calgary teams made the post-season in five consecutive seasons from 2005-2009.

Barker has coached football for more than 30 years. He began coaching 10- and 11-year-olds in Arcadia,

CA, and is now recognized throughout North America as one of pre-eminent experts in his field. He is one of the few individuals in U.S. college football history with experience at every level of the NCAA. In seven seasons of professional football, he has coached three championship clubs – two Grey Cups and one XFL championship. He has worked with some of the finest coaches in the history of the Canadian Football League including Don Matthews and Ray Jauch, the former Head Coach of the Edmonton Eskimos and Saskatchewan Roughriders.

His full-time coaching career in Canada began in 1996 on the staff of the Montreal Alouettes. The Alouettes set a club record for wins that year but lost in the East Division final to the eventual Grey Cup champion Toronto Argonauts. In 1997, he was named the Co-Offensive Coordinator and Offensive Line Coach for Toronto and was instrumental in guiding an offence that scored a remarkable 660 points and finished with a 15-3 regular season record. In 1999, he was named Head Coach of the Argonauts and finished with a respectable 9-9 regular season record and a playoff berth.

Following the sale of the Argos in 2000, Barker moved back to the U.S. and coached the Los Angeles Xtreme to the first and only XFL championship. His work with quarterback Tommy Maddox is well documented as Maddox went on to win the XFL Player of the Year award and in 2002 was named the NFL Comeback Player of the Year with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Barker then returned to Canada and again teamed with Matthews as an Offensive Coordinator and Quarterbacks Coach where he helped take the 2002 Alouettes to their first Grey Cup championship in 25 years. His quarterback, Anthony Calvillo, enjoyed his finest season as a pro and was named the East Division Player of the Year. In 2003, Barker moved to Calgary where he served for one season as Head Coach of the Stampeders.

Jim received his B.A. in Physical Education from USC in 1978 and his M.A. from San Francisco State University in 1984. He has four daughters – Erin (37), Lisa (37), Kate (30) and Holly (28) — and six grandchildren, Heather, Brendan, Ricky, Gabriel, Jesika and Harley-Quinn.

Scott MilanovichHead Coach

On December 1, 2011, Scott Milanovich was named the 42nd Head Coach of the Toronto Argonauts Football Club. Milanovich is one of the youngest and brightest offensive coaches in the Canadian Football League. At 38 years old, he’s already served five seasons with the Montreal Alouettes, one season with the Calgary Stampeders and three years in the NFL Europe ranks.

With Milanovich as the Offensive Coordinator and Assistant Head Coach, the Alouettes’ offence flourished. His team scored more than 600 points in successive seasons and quarterback Anthony Calvillo took home two CFL Most Outstanding Player awards. During his tenure, the Als appeared in three straight Grey Cup games, winning in 2009 and 2010, and developed an array of offensive players including league all-stars RB Brandon Whitaker and WR Jamel Richardson.

He joined the Alouettes following four years in the NFLE including two as an Offensive Coordinator. He held the position for the Cologne Centurions in 2006 following a successful 2005 season as Offensive Coordinator of the Rhein Fire. In 2003 and 2004, he was the Fire’s Quarterbacks Coach.

Before becoming a coach, Milanovich played several years in the NFL, NFLE, AFL, XFL and CFL. He played one game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1996, staying on with the team as a backup through 1999. He signed with the Cleveland Browns before moving on to the NFLE Berlin Thunder. He played one season with the AFL Tampa Bay Storm as well as the Calgary Stampeders.

Following six games as a player, he closed out the 2003 campaign as the Stamps’ Quarterbacks Coach.

As a quarterback for the University of Maryland from 1992-1995, he broke several school records and was recognized as the top passer in Terrapin history.

Chris JonesAssistant General Manager / Assistant Head Coach / Defensive Coordinator

Chris Jones has been patrolling CFL sidelines on defence for a full decade and, in that time, his teams have never missed the playoffs. He has been to seven division finals and coached in five Grey Cup games with Montreal and Calgary, winning Grey Cup rings in 2002 and 2008.

Jones’ defences have gained a reputation as being tough, stingy and aggressive. In 2011, his unit led the league in interception return yards (423) and finished near the top of the CFL in fewest net yards allowed (6,088), fewest yards offence per game (338.2) and fewest first downs passing (193). Since joining Calgary in 2008, his units have led the CFL, or finished among the upper echelon, in most significant defensive categories.

From 1999-2001, Jones coached the defensive line and was the recruitment coordinator at Tennessee Tech University. His defensive line led the Ohio Valley Conference in sacks and tackles for losses each year and he coached two first-team all-American players. In 1999, Tennessee Tech ranked third in the nation in total defence.

He began his college coaching career as a graduate assistant in 1995 at Tennessee Tech where he was defensive line coach. He went to the University of Alabama as a graduate assistant in 1997, working toward a doctorate degree and coaching the linebackers. In 1998, he joined the University of Tennessee-Martin as defensive line coach.

Mike O’SheaSpecial Teams Coordinator

Mike O’Shea was named the Toronto Argonauts’ Special Teams Coordinator in 2010, and the unit has since solidified itself as one of the best in the league. He followed up a tremendous first year with an equally outstanding second season in the same role.

Under O’Shea in 2011, KR/WR Chad Owens was named, for the second straight season, the East Division’s Most Outstanding Special Teams Player and set the Toronto Argonauts’ team record for most kickoff return yards in a season. Thanks in part to O’Shea’s schemes, Owens also became the first player in pro football history to record back-to-back 3,000 combined yards seasons during a stellar 2011 campaign. His kicking units also put up stellar numbers. The Argos led the CFL in average kickoff yardage, finished third in total kickoff yards, and Noel Prefontaine finished with the third-highest punting average in the league en route to being named an East Division All-Star.

For years, Mike O’Shea was the stalwart of the Toronto Argonauts’ defence and special teams. He was the undisputed leader inside the locker room and, as a team captain, he was recognized by fans throughout the CFL as the admiral of the Argos’ stone wall defence and relished his role on special teams. O’Shea played 16 CFL seasons, including 12 with the Argonauts and four with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, and won three Grey Cup championships (1996-1997, 2004) all with Toronto.

#50 was a coaches’ player who always put the game and his teammates first. He knew the playbook front to back and because of his hard work, he commanded respect from rookies and veterans alike. He played in 271 regular season CFL games, the most ever by a defensive player, 18 playoff games and three Grey Cup games. He is second on the CFL’s all-time tackles list with 1,151 and is the Argos’ all-time leader in regular season and Grey Cup defensive tackles with 822 and 15 respectively. He is second on the team’s all-time games played list with 205. The native of North Bay, Ontario was a five-time East Division All-Star (1994-1995, 1997, 1999, 2000) and was named a CFL All-Star and the

league’s Most Outstanding Canadian in 1999. In 2006, O’Shea became the first Canadian ever to make at least 1,000 tackles in a career and in 2007 he was named an All-Time Argo at linebacker.

An advocate for his teammates, O’Shea was a CFLPA player rep. for many years with the Argonauts and upon leaving the game, he accepted the position of 1st Vice President for the Players’ Association. There, he teamed with former teammate and friend Mike Morreale to ensure that CFL players always had a voice and that their interests weren’t overlooked.

Mike is an alumnus of the University of Guelph and is a member of the Guelph Gryphons Sports Hall of Fame. Mike and wife Richere live in Milton, Ontario with their three children: Michael, Ailish and Aisling.

Jason MaasQuarterbacks Coach

As a player, Jason Maas earned a reputation as being smart, fearless and a leader in the locker room. He played 11 CFL seasons with Edmonton, Hamilton and Montreal, won two Grey Cup championships, and was a West Division All-Star.

Jason Maas became a household name during parts of nine seasons in Edmonton. He was the team’s outstanding player in 2001 and 2004 and was named a West All-Star in 2001. He worked closely with Ricky Ray to bring two CFL titles (2003 & 2005) to the City of Champions and his work in helping to mould Ray into an elite player is well known throughout football circles. 2004 was considered to be Maas’ finest CFL season statistically. That year, he became just the second Eskimos quarterback to pass for 5,000+ yards in a season, threw 31 touchdowns and also ran for eight more. He still holds the league record for most consecutive pass completions in a game with 22, also set as a member of the Esks.

Born in Wisconsin, Maas played high school football in Arizona before agreeing to play at the University of Oregon. He played five seasons at Oregon, from 1994-1998, and signed with the Baltimore Ravens in 1999. He joined the Eskimos in 2000 where he remained until 2005.

Orlondo SteinauerDefensive Backs Coach

After an all-star playing career, primarily with Toronto, Orlondo Steinauer first joined the Argos’ coaching staff as defensive backs coach before the 2010 season. On August 5, 2011, he was promoted to Defensive Coordinator and held the position for the balance of the year. Steinauer returns to his role as the club’s Defensive Backs Coach for the 2012 season ready more than ever to prepare his players for further success.

Over three seasons, his units have been among the best in the league, and the East, at stopping touchdowns and aggressively tracking the ball. Since 2010, five Argos have been placed on division and CFL All-Star teams, and one player even set a record for most interceptions returns in a CFL career.

As a player, Steinauer was among the most respected in the locker room. He worked as hard on the field as he did in the film room and he knew the playbook as well as any coach. As a team captain, coaching seemed to come naturally to the 13-year CFL veteran who spent his final eight seasons with the Argos. He’s a two-time Grey Cup champion (1999 & 2004) who was originally introduced to the CFL by the legendary coach and executive Leo Cahill. He started his career with the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1996 then signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (1997-2000) and finished with the Toronto Argonauts (2001-2008).

A four-time CFL All-Star and a six-time East Division All-Star, he is one of only a few players in the history of the game to win all-star accolades at three different positions (CB, DB, DS). Steinauer is still second in CFL history with 1,178 interception return yards and his 441 defensive tackles are the fifth-highest total in team history. His 710 interception return yards as an Argo are good for third-best in club history. A veteran

of 181 regular season CFL games, he also dressed in 13 playoff games and in three Grey Cup matches. In 2007, Steinauer was named runner-up as an All-Time Argo at safety.

Steinauer tasted coaching for the first time when he returned to his alma mater, Western Washington University, during CFL off-seasons from 1996-1998. There, he acted as Vikings’ Defensive Backs Coach and gained valuable experience. As a senior at Western Washington, Steinauer was named an All-American and led the nation with 10 interceptions.

Upon leaving football as a player, the Seattle, Washington native turned his focus toward running his foundation, The Ozone, which helps improve the quality of life for those less fortunate, with an emphasis on single parents and their families. In 2009, he was the CFL Insider on Rogers Sportsnet.Orlondo lives year-round in Oakville, Ontario with his wife, Gina, and their three daughters; Kiana (13), Rheyna (7) and Taeya (6).

Stone coached two solid seasons with the Clark Atlanta University Panthers (SIAC). In his first year, Stone’s defence was nationally ranked in pass defence (1), tackles for losses (2) and total defence (11).

He began his coaching career with a successful four-year stint as a coach in the Arena Football League. Stone joined the Bakersfield Blitz in 2006 and helped them to their first playoff victory in franchise history. He was instrumental in leading the defence to a number one ranking in total defence. He was then hired as the associate head coach and defensive coordinator of the Rio Grande Valley Dorados in 2007, a position he held through 2008. In 2007, the Dorados finished with the league’s best record at 15-1 and were crowned Southwest Conference champions. Stone’s defence set the league’s record for most sacks in one game (13) and in one season (58). His Dorados defence made AFL history by turning in a shutout with a 64-0 victory. In

2009, Stone joined the Milwaukee Iron mid-season. He later coached one season at Mundy Mills High School in Jonesboro, Georgia.

Stone was a two-year letterman as a defensive tackle at the University of Tennessee. He was part of the 1990 SEC Championship team that defeated Virginia in the 1991 Sugar Bowl. He also participated in the 1992 Fiesta Bowl, 1993 Hall of Fame Bowl, 1994 Citrus Bowl and 1994 Gator Bowl.
