Greg Mohns :

One of the more experienced football minds in the CFL, Greg Mohns was a vital part of assembling the Toronto Argonauts 2004 Grey Cup Championship squad. Before joining the CFL, Mohns served in various scouting positions at the college and pro level with the Kansas City Chiefs (1983-1988), becoming the Coordinator of Pro Scouting in 1986 when the team made its first playoff appearance since 1971. Greg began his CFL career in 1991 with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as the Director of Player Personnel before becoming the Assistant General Manager a year later. Mohns served one year as the Director of Player Personnel for the Memphis Mad Dogs (CFL) in 1995 before becoming the Assistant General Manager and Director of Football Operations for Toronto in 1996. In the season before Mohns joined the Double Blue, the club went 4-14. In 1996, that all changed as Mohns was a key part of the Argos’ 17-3 turnaround record and Grey Cup Championship. In 1998, Mohns joined the B.C. Lions as Assistant to the President. When his good friend Adam Rita made the move to General Manager, Mohns became the Lions’ Head Coach and led the club to a 22-12 (.647) mark in 34 games. His impressive record, which included going 22-9 in his last 31 games, put him in third spot on the Lions’ all-time winning percentage list for head coaches. Mohns served one year as Director of Player Personnel with the San Francisco Demons (XFL) before returning to Toronto in 2003 as the Director of Football Operations and Player Personnel. Mohns was promoted to Assistant General Manager in 2005. A native of Pasadena, California, Mohns began his love for football as an offensive lineman at Bradley University and Baker University, where he earned his B.S. and Masters from Oklahoma State, where he was on the coaching staff from 1972-1977. Mohns held various coaching positions at the NCAA level including working for the legendary Frank Kush at Arizona State, Bum Phillips and Wade Phillips at Oklahoma State and at UNLV. Mohns was the head coach at Ventura College, where he posted a 15-3-2 overall record from 1980-81. An avid musician who plays the drums, Mohns has played in bands with well-known jazz musicians Pat and Mike Metheny. Mohns has one son, Jason, 26. Jim Baker : General Manager Stampeders: Entering 3rd Season Jim re-rejoined the Stampeder Football Club in 2005 with a diverse background through his involvement in several Football Leagues. He carries a great eye for talent for those players who are uniquely suited for the Canadian Football League and with his previous experience as an assistant/head coach Jim has the advantage of knowing the needs of the organization on the football field. In 2005, Barker acquired several big key components which included: Henry Burris, Jeremaine Copeland, Alexandre Gauthier, Ken-Yon Rambo, Rahim Abdullah, Randy Chevrier, David Allen, Jermaine Chatman, Burke Dales, Sandro DeAngelis, Terrence Patrick, Coby Rhinehart, Wes Lysack, Tony Stallings and Trey Young. These changes were several of the moves in which turned the Stampeders record from 4-14 to 11-7. He also played a big role in the 2005 Canadian College Draft in which the Stampeders selected players such as Offensive Lineman Godfrey Ellis, John Comiskey, Kyler Jukes and Receiver Brett Ralph along with 1st overall pick Miguel Robede. Jim has coached football for over 30 years. He began coaching 10 & 11 year olds in Arcadia, California 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 that has experience at every level of the NCAA. In seven seasons of professional football he has coached three Championship clubs - two Grey Cups and the only XFL Championship ever. He has worked with some of the finest coaches in the history of the Canadian Football League including Don Matthews, the career wins leader amongst CFL coaches, and Ray Jauch, the very successful former Head Coach of the Edmonton Eskimos and Saskatchewan Roughriders. His full-time career in Canada began in 1996 as a member of the Montreal Alouettes coaching staff. The Alouettes set a club record for wins that year, but lost in the Eastern Division Finals 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 offense that many experts have called the greatest in the history of the CFL. In 1999 he was named the Head Coach of the Argonauts and became the youngest head coach in the CFL. Following the sale of that team in 2000 he moved back to the U.S. and coached the Los Angeles Xtreme to the only XFL Championship that league ever knew. His work with quarterback Tommy Maddox is well documented as Maddox went on to win the XFL Player of the Year award in 2001 and was named the NFL Comeback Player of the Year with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Barker then came back to Canada and again joined with Don Matthews as the Offensive Coordinator and Quarterback Coach to take the 2002 Montreal Alouettes to their first Grey Cup Championship in over 20 years. His quarterback, Anthony Calvillo, enjoyed his finest season as a pro and was named the Eastern Division Player of the Year. He then moved to Calgary where he served for one season as the Head Coach of the Calgary Stampeders. Jim received his B.A. in Physical Education from U.S.C. in 1978 and his M.A. from San Francisco State University in 1984. Jim lives in Calgary with his wife Robin and they are the proud parents of four daughters - Erin, Lisa, Kate and Holly and grandparents to Heather, Brendan and Ricky.

Adam Rita: is entering his fourth season as the Argonauts’ GM/Vice President, Football Operations after spending 2003 as the Club's Assistant Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator. With over twenty years of experience in the Canadian Football League and six Grey Cup wins, Rita is a football executive of incredible depth and experience. In 2004, his first year in his current role, he led the Double Blue to its first Grey Cup win since 1997. Named CFL Coach of the Year in 1991, Rita took the Toronto Argonauts to the Grey Cup Championship after a season that saw the team set a league-best record of 13 wins and 5 losses. In 1993, with the Edmonton Eskimos, Rita took home Grey Cup honours as Offensive Coordinator. From 1997 to 2002, he served in various managerial positions with the B.C. Lions and was the club's General Manager in 2000 as they brought home the 88th Grey Cup. Raised on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, Rita first broke into the professional coaching ranks in 1983 as an Offensive Coordinator with the B.C. Lions under Don Matthews after 12 years spent coaching at the college level with his alma mater Boise State University, the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, and the University of Hawaii. After two short seasons in B.C., Rita’s offence led the Lions to their first Grey Cup win since 1964, a 37-24 win over Hamilton. After spending one season with the UBC Thunderbirds in 1989, Rita returned to the CFL, leading the offence of the Toronto Argonauts under Matthews. Rita replaced Matthews as Head Coach in 1991, leading the team to a league-best record of 13-5 and his first Grey Cup Championship as a Head Coach. In 1993, Rita won his third championship as the Offensive Coordinator of the Edmonton Eskimos under Ron Lancaster before splitting the next two seasons with Ottawa and the Memphis Mad Dogs. Rita reunited with Don Matthews in Toronto in 1996, capturing another championship trophy with Doug Flutie as quarterback. Rita made his return to the Lions as head coach in 1997 and was named the CFLPA’s Coach of the Year. Adam has two sons, Kevin and Harrison, and one granddaughter, Jennifer. He lives in Mississauga with his partner, Karen. Bob O'Billovich The Front Runner: Bob O’Billovich has been involved with the CFL for over 25 years, serving as an administrator, a scout, an assistant coach and a head coach.

He began his CFL coaching career in 1974 as a guest coach with the Ottawa Rough Riders, and became an assistant in 1976, helping Ottawa to win their last Grey Cup. In 1982, he was named head coach of the Toronto Argonauts and went on to compile a record of 78-55-3, giving him the most wins in team history.
