Coach Don Matthews stepped down as head coach of the Toronto Argonauts on Friday and said his days on the sidelines are over.
“Our owners are very passionate people and I wish I could have given them more because they live and breathe football,” said Matthews.
He now plans on returning to Oregon and resuming his retirement.
“I think my time has come,” he said.
Matthews, 69, is the CFL leader in regular-season wins (231) and tied for the most Grey Cup wins (five). He won five more Grey Cup rings as an assistant coach with the Edmonton Eskimos (1978-’82).
He coached Toronto in 1990 and from 1996 to 1998.
