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. Bob also spent time in front of the camera as part of TSN’s CFL television broadcasts.

Bob began his CFL career with the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1963, playing defensive back and quarterback. 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. Also with the Argos, Bob was named the CFL’s Coach of the Year in 1983 and 1987, and appeared in the Grey Cup three times, leading the East Division club to five first place regular season finishes.

Bob joined the BC Lions in 1990 where he served as the vice president of football operations, general manager and head coach, remaining in that position until the end of 1992. In 1993, Bob returned to the Argonauts to assume the duties of general manager and head coach. He then relinquished his head coaching duties in 1995, so he could focus his energy on player recruitment. He has been credited for scouting the talents of Willie Pless, Dave Dickenson, Mike “Pinball” Clemons, Darren Flutie, Mark Boerigter, Matt Clark, and Mike Trevathan.

Bob was an outstanding athlete at the University of Montana and was the only varsity athlete to earn three varsity letters in football, basketball and baseball, serving as a captain in all three sports. He was voted the school’s Athlete of the Decade between the years 1960 and 1970.

Bob and his wife Judy have three children, Tracy, Jodi and Coy.
