From the Canadian Press this afternoon:
"The CFL has fined the Toronto Argonauts 5-thousand dollars for tampering. League officials say the Argos didn't follow protocol in their dealings with Calgary Stampeders assistant coach Chris Jones. Jones is leaving Calgary to become Toronto's defensive co-ordinator. The Stamps complained that the Argos had not asked permission to speak to him about the position."
Doesn't look like Marcus Brady will follow Milanovich to T.O.

The Argos have also named Jonathan Himebauch as the team’s new offensive co-ordinator, ....Himebauch joins the Argos from the ranks of the Montreal Alouettes where he was the offensive line coach.
Toronto Argonauts head coach Scott Milanovich will bring back defensive backs coach Orlondo Steinauer and offensive line coach Steve McAdoo next season.
"These two men embody the philosophy we are installing in our coaching staff," Milanovich said Thursday in a statement. "They are proven mentors who prepare their players to attack the opposing team."
http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=382263As good as the signing of Milanovich appears to be on the surface, one very important fact would still have me quite concerned if I were excited about this acquisition, and I'm not. And that is that Barker would STILL be responsible for bringing in the player talent.
Need I remind you of the job he's done since he's donned the double blue.
Milanovich has already lost his new OC to the NCAA.

Milanovich said. “We’re going to keep our eyes wide open and see who is going to be the best fit for our team.
“Does [Himebauch’s departure] put us back a week? Yes, sure it puts us back a week.
Expect to see Marcel join the AR**S coaching staff.
I don’t think we will see Marcel surface for an assistant’s job till he’s run out his HC contract…
