The Toronto Argonauts are a professional Canadian football team based in Toronto, Ontario representing the Toronto Metropolitan area. The Argonauts are currently members of the East Division of the Canadian Football League. The franchise was founded in 1873, and is the oldest existing professional sports teams in North America, under its current name. The Chicago Cubs (1870) and the Atlanta Braves (1871) of Major League Baseball are older, but both teams have changed their name more than once. They have played their home games at Rogers Centre since the stadium opened in 1989 and prior to that, played in Exhibition Stadium from 1959 to 1988.

During their history, the Argonauts have featured 39 Hall of Fame players, including CFL Most Outstanding Player (MOP) award winners Condredge Holloway, and Michael "Pinball" Clemons. The team has also gained several nicknames, including "Argos", "Boatmen", "Double Blue", and "Scullers." The team's heated rivalry with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats is one of the oldest CFL East rivalries.

The Argonauts have won the Grey Cup championship a record seventeen times, most recently in 2022. Having appeared in the Grey Cup 21 times, the Argonauts also hold the record for the best winning percentage in the championship game at 71.4%. Additionally, the franchise has the longest current winning streak in the Grey Cup, having won their last five appearances in the Grey Cup game (1991, 1996, 1997, 2004 and 2012).

Team facts

The Toronto Argonauts are notable for being the oldest professional football team in North America, and they are also the oldest professional sports franchise in North America to still retain its original name. They have the most Grey Cup wins with 16 in the league; they have the second most Grey Cup appearances with 22, tied with Edmonton (22) and behind Winnipeg (23). The last time the Argonauts won a championship was in 2012.

The Argonauts are one of six professional football teams to feature multiple Heisman Trophy winners on their roster. The 1997 team featured Doug Flutie and Andre Ware, the first time a team has had two Heisman winners at the quarterback position. The 2006 team featured Ricky Williams and Eric Crouch. The five other teams are the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Raiders of the National Football League, and the Jacksonville Bulls and New Jersey Generals of the defunct United States Football League.

Franchise history

The Toronto Argonauts were founded in 1873 by the Toronto Argonaut Rowing Club. This also makes them one of the oldest professional sports teams in North America and the oldest to continue under the same name and in the same city. Aside from a few college teams, they are the oldest continuously existing football club of any type in North America.

In the 19th century, the most renowned rowers in the world were the teams from Oxford University and Cambridge University in England, and the Toronto rowers adopted uniforms incorporating the two shades of blue used by the English schools. When the Argonauts expanded into football, the "double blue" uniform was used by the football team as well, starting a tradition of top-level Toronto teams wearing blue (e.g. Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Blue Jays). Because of their roots in the rowing club (which still exists today), the team is often nicknamed the "Boatmen."

In Canadian football's early years, the Argonauts were the dominant team. They put together a number of Grey Cup dynasties in the 1930s and 1940s. At some time during this period, the phrase "Argo Bounce" came into being. It referred to the Argonauts' propensity to receive a lucky bounce of the football. However, after the 1952 season the Argos entered a funk that was to last for over 30 years. The team struggled throughout much of the '50s, '60s and '70s despite the presence of greats such as Joe Theismann, Tobin Rote, Jim Corrigall, Bill Symons, Jim Stillwagon and Granville "Granny" Liggins.

Notable Seasons

Record 16 Grey Cup championships

League annals show 16 Grey Cup Championships, the most in the CFL overall. The first ten were won before the official founding of the league.

Frank Clair Era 1950-1954

In 1950 the Argonauts finished second in the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union (IRFU) with a record of 6-5-1, and won their ninth Grey Cup championship against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

In 1951 the Argos finished third in the IRFU with a record of 7-5 and lost in the semi-finals.

In 1952 the Argos finished second in the IRFU with a record of 7-4-1, and won their 10th Grey Cup Championship against the Edmonton Eskimos.

In 1953 the Argos had their first losing season under Frank Clair and they also missed the playoffs for the first time. They finished a dismal 5-9 that year.

The Argos finsed third in the IRFU in 1954 with a record of 6-8, and they also missed the playoffs in what would be Frank Clair's last season as the Head Coach of the Argonauts.

The Leo Cahill Era: 1967-1972

In the spring of 1967, the Toronto Argonauts were in a terrible state of affairs, having not made the playoffs since 1961 and becoming the laughing stock of the Canadian Football League. Their last Grey Cup appearance had been a victory way back in 1952. The Argonauts named Leo Cahill as the head coach. He put together a quality coaching staff; adding Steve Sucic who had coached with the team in the early 1960s and kept Gord Akerman and Frank "Blackie Johnston" from former coach Bob Shaw's staff. In 1967 the team finished with a record of 5-8-1 (including the most lopsided win in Argo history...a 53-0 crushing of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and making the playoffs for the first time in six years. They lost a 38-22 decision to the powerful Russ Jackson-led, Ottawa Rough Riders.

In 1968 Bill Symons turned in a monstrous season...rushing for 1107 yards, averaging almost 7 yards per carry and being named CFL Most Valuable Player. Wally Gabler led the Eastern conference in passing, Bobby Taylor led the East in receiving, Mel Profit became the best tight-end in the East and the defense designed by Cahill and Rountree developed into one of the most aggressive and at times - violent units in pro football. The Toronto defense made their opponents pay a fearful price for attempting to score. Led by all of these factors, Toronto finished with their first winning season in seven years with an excellent record of 9-5. The Argos hosted the defending Grey Cup champion, Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the Eastern Semi-Final and quickly fell behind 14-0, but came roaring back to eventually win 33-21. The Argos then took on the Ottawa Rough Riders in the Eastern Final and won 13-11 and hopes were high among Argo fans that they might appear in the Grey Cup for the first time since 1952. But it didn't happen...Ottawa beat Toronto 36-14, winning 47-27 in combined total points.

In 1969, Cahill added Winnipeg's super-star running back Dave Raimey in a trade that sent Wally Gabler to the Blue Bombers. Toronto had the highest scoring offense in the CFL that season and a volatile defense. Tricky Dick Thornton turned in perhaps the finest individual performance in CFL history and one that was among the best in all of pro football. Thornton intercepted 7 passes, returning 2 for touchdowns, replaced the injured Raimey at running back and rushed for 114 yards and 1 touchdown and also took over the teams' punting duties for half the season due to an injury to kicker Dave Mann. The Argos finished in second place in the East with a record of 10-4. Toronto beat Hamilton 15-9 in the Eastern Semi-Final and then took on Ottawa again in the Final. In the Eastern Final the Argos whipped Ottawa 22-14 in a game that was not as close as the score would indicate. Ottawa crushed Toronto 32-3 and won the two game series 46-25, leaving Leo and the Argos red-faced with embarrassment.

Going into the 1970 season, the Argos were strong favorites to win the Grey Cup and Leo Cahill was one of the biggest personalities in Toronto. More top talent was added to the "Boatmen" for 1970, signing quarterback Don Jonas... the number one ranked pivot in the Continental League and defensive end Jim Corrigall from Kent State University. Corrigall, a native of Barrie, Ontario, was a 2nd round draft pick of the NFL St. Louis Cardinals, however Leo convinced Jim to play his pro ball back home. Despite the additions of Jonas and Corrigall and yet another outstanding year along the ground from Bill Symons, the 1970 Argos were a major disappointment, finishing with a record of 8-6, only good for 2nd place. They then dropped a 16-7 decision to Montreal in the Eastern Semi-Final. Defensively, the team had played solid all year but the offense was often erratic and failed miserably in the playoff loss to Montreal.

In 1971 Argonaut owner John Bassett, and Leo Cahill were able to recruit Joe Theismann away from the Miami Dolphins. The diminutive Theismann was highly touted coming out of Notre Dame in 1970 having led the Irish to a Cotton Bowl championship. Drafted in the fourth round by Don Shula and the Miami Dolphins, Theismann became frustrated with contract negotiations, Leo Cahil saw an opportunity and pounced to lure Joe north. While Theismann lasted just 3 seasons with Toronto; he did lead the team to the Grey Cup game in 1971 and brought a great deal of attention to not only the Argos but the entire Canadian Football League. Along with Theismann and Jim Stillwagon in the Argonauts recruiting spree of 1971 came the talented and enigmatic Leon McQuay. His unrivaled talent on the football field was matched by his unpredictable temperament off the field. With these new additions playing superbly and aided by tremendous seasons of veterans Dick Thornton, Peter Martin, Dick Aldridge, Mel Profit, and Marv Luster among others, the Argos rolled to a record of 10-4 and a first place finish in the East. In the two game Eastern Final - Toronto advanced past Hamilton winning the first game 23-8 and tying game two 17-17 for a total point victory of 40-25.

The Argos had not won the big game since 1952 and Calgary hadn't won since 1948. The Boatmen's best chance to end their Grey Cup drought was in 1971, when they faced the Calgary Stampeders in the 59th Grey Cup, the first to be played on artificial turf. In a defensive struggle at Vancouver's soggy Empire Stadium, a late fumble by Leon "X-Ray" McQuay sealed a 14–11 Stampeder victory. While the play was ruled a fumble, head coach Leo Cahill suggested that the ground cannot cause a fumble and the ball should have been ruled a dead ball. The Argonaut touchdown or field goal that could have ensued may well have altered the game's outcome.

Despite that heartbreaking loss, the future still looked bright for Leo Cahill and the Toronto Argonauts going into 1972. They had perhaps the finest young team in all professional football and there had not been an unsold seat at C.N.E. Stadium in years for an Argo home game. They had a huge season ticket base with hundreds of people on a waiting list to buy them. The Argos and Leo were regular front- page news in all the papers across Canada. Clearly this was the team of the future! In 1972, Leo Cahill followed up his recruiting exploits of 1971 by signing college superstar Eric “The Flea” Allen away from the NFL Baltimore Colts who had drafted Allen. Allen, a 5’7” 170 lb dynamo was an explosive offensive weapon for the Michigan State Spartans setting a number of school records. Converted from a running back in college to a ‘wingback’ style with the Argonauts, Allen put his blazing speed to use and was an instant success in 1972 with over 1,000 yards receiving as a rookie. It was another feather in Cahill’s recruiting cap much to the chagrin of the National Football League.

The Argos ended the 1972 season with a record of 3-11...missing the playoffs for the first time in Leo Cahill's tenure and less than a week later, Bassett announced Leo Cahill was fired.

1981-1988

The Argos reached an all-time low in 1981 when they finished 2–14; this despite having such talented players as Condredge Holloway, Cedric Minter, David Newman and Terry Greer. However, with the 1982 season came the hiring of Bob O'Billovich as head coach and Mouse Davis as offensive co-ordinator. Davis implemented the Run & Shoot offence for that season. The Argos enjoyed an unprecedented turnaround, going 9–6–1 that year. Condredge Holloway was the CFL's most outstanding player and receivers Terry Greer and Emanuel Tolbert were among the class of the CFL. But the team ultimately fell short in their quest for a Grey Cup, losing 32–16 to the mighty Edmonton Eskimos in front of a disappointed crowd at Exhibition Stadium.

The 1983 season brought renewed success. The Argos finished 12–4 and Terry Greer set a CFL record with 2,003 receiving yards. Joe Barnes and Condredge Holloway were a potent duo at quarterback. The Double Blue returned to the Grey Cup, this time facing the BC Lions at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver. Despite the hostile crowd, Toronto defeated B.C. 18–17 to win their first Grey Cup since 1952.

The Argos enjoyed success through much of the '80s (though 1985 and 1989 were notable exceptions), thanks in large part to talented players such as Gil "The Thrill" Fenerty and Darrell K. Smith. However, a return the glory of 1983 proved elusive.

1989–2015

The 1989 season saw the Argonauts move into SkyDome, a multi-purpose downtown stadium with a retractable roof. It marked the beginning of an eventful few years. In 1990, one of the most beloved figures in Toronto sporting history emerged on the team: Michael "Pinball" Clemons set a CFL record for all purpose yards with 3,300 in his first full year, a record he broke in 1997 with 3,840.

SkyDome set up for the Argonauts. The Argonauts played at SkyDome from 1989 to 2015.

In 1991 Hollywood prestige arrived in the form of a new ownership trio. Bruce McNall, owner of the NHL's Los Angeles Kings, bought the team. One of his players, hockey great Wayne Gretzky, became a minority owner, as did Canadian-born comedian John Candy. The group stunned the league with the signing of Raghib "Rocket" Ismail for an unheard of $18.2 million over four years. Ismail immediately impressed, particularly on kickoff returns, and was named player of the game in the 1991 Grey Cup, which the Argos won 36–21 over the Calgary Stampeders. Clemons and quarterback Matt Dunigan (who played the final with a broken collarbone) were the other critical pieces to the championship.

However, the Argos slumped to 6–12 only a year later, beginning a slide that only accelerated when Dunigan and Ismail left after the season. The 1992 season was the first of four consecutive losing seasons; while they made the playoffs in 1994, they were promptly eliminated by the Baltimore Stallions in the division semi-finals. Trouble also struck off the field: McNall was convicted of conspiracy and fraud at the end of 1993, while Candy died prematurely the next year, shortly after he sold his stake in the team. With Gretzky's salary dependent upon McNall, the team was effectively left without owners before Labatt Brewing Company, parent of league broadcast partner The Sports Network, bought it in the spring of 1994.

Attendance also began to slide in the mid-1990s, raising questions over the team's viability that persist to this day. The per game average was just above 16,000 in 1994 and 1995, much less than half the team's 1970s peak.

Championship material did eventually reemerge in 1996. The team hired Don Matthews, who was fresh off a Grey Cup victory with the Baltimore Stallions to be the team's new head coach and signed Doug Flutie, one of the greatest quarterbacks in CFL history, to a contract and surrounded him with key personnel. The team included linebacker Mike O'Shea, veteran wide receiver Paul Masotti, and running back Robert Drummond. Derrell "Mookie" Mitchell was added at receiver in 1997. The Boatmen took the Grey Cup in both 1996 and 1997. Flutie set team records for single season passing yards with more than 5,500 in each year and for touchdowns thrown with 47 in 1997 (one less than his CFL record of 48) before crossing the border to join the Buffalo Bills the next year. Masotti retired in 1999 as the team's all time pass reception yardage leader. Clemons ended his own successful career in 2000 before returning to coach until 2007.

The years after their back-to-back championships saw a return to mediocrity for the Argos. Ticket sales remained flat, and there were changes in ownership. Gimmicks to attract fans were greeted with criticism. The Argos seemingly bottomed out in July 2003 when the CFL stripped control over the team from owner Sherwood Schwarz. The team had amassed debts of over $20 million, including $17.4 owed to Schwarz himself.

New ownership under David Cynamon and Howard Sokolowski brought immediate dividends with another Grey Cup win in 2004. Veteran Damon Allen led the team to a 27–19 victory over the B.C. Lions, with Jon Avery a critical running threat. Allen continued with the team until 2007, and retired with professional football's all-time leading passing yardage (72,381).

The Argonauts saw winning seasons from 2005 to 2007 before bottoming out the next two years. They finished 2009 with just three wins. Critical players over this half-decade included receiver Arland Bruce III, defensive star Byron Parker, and all-star punter Noel Prefontaine. The team generated some controversy in 2006 when they lured running back Ricky Williams from the NFL. Williams had repeatedly violated NFL drug policies and was under suspension for the year; he played just one season with the Argos.

In 2010 the team again saw an ownership change, with construction magnate David Braley, who also owns the Lions, taking control. After breaking even in 2010 and going 6–12 in 2011, the Argonauts again acquired a championship nucleus in 2012. Ricky Ray was brilliant at quarterback while Chad Owens emerged as arguably the league's best special teams player. Owens broke Michael Clemons CFL record for all purpose yards and won the CFL Most Outstanding Player award that year. The 2012 Grey Cup was played in Toronto and the team took their first championship victory in the city since 1952, a 35–22 win over Calgary.

2016–present

After years of being run on a shoestring budget by owner David Braley and facing the prospect of being evicted out of its longtime home, Braley sold the club to a consortium, led by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment chairman Larry Tanenbaum and BCE Inc, a move that solidified the franchise's long-term future.

The Argos moved out of Rogers Centre and into BMO Field for the 2016 season. Despite the initial hype of playing at a fan-friendly outdoor facility, the club finished at the bottom of the standings with a 5–13 record. A front office purge followed, with the firing of general manager Jim Barker on January 24, 2017. Head coach Scott Milanovich, who was facing an uncertain future with the Argos in the wake of Barker's firing, quit four days later, accepting the quarterbacks coach position for the Jacksonville Jaguars under Doug Marrone.

Looking to start afresh both on and off the field, the Argos hired former Montreal Alouettes general manager Jim Popp and head coach Marc Trestman on February 28, 2017. Popp and Trestman won consecutive Grey Cup championships in 2009 and 2010. Popp, the architect of the Alouettes' resurgence in the Montreal sports scene, acquired some of his former players, such as S. J. Green and Bear Woods.

In August 2017, the team moved their practice facility to the former Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School, with a short-term lease of the facility from the Toronto District School Board.

Despite missing most of the free agency period and having mere months to assemble both a roster and coaching staff, the Double Blue finished the year with a 9–9 record, good enough for first place in a weak East Division and a first-round bye. After a thrilling last-minute comeback win in the Eastern Final over Saskatchewan, 25–21, the Argos capped off the season in true Cinderella fashion, with another thrilling comeback, winning their 17th championship in the 2017 Grey Cup. Their 27–24 win over Calgary marked their second Grey Cup victory against the Stampeders in five years.

In 2018, the team's new owners Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment moved the team's practice facility to the nearby MLSE managed Lamport Stadium with the football operations staff moving to BMO Field and the nearby MLSE managed Coca-Cola Coliseum.

Since 2015, the team has averaged the lowest home attendance in the CFL every year, their lowest average (in a non-pandemic affected year) being 12,431 in 2015. The Argonauts won their 18th Grey Cup championship in team history in 2022, hanging on to defeat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, 24–23.
