MISSISSAUGA– The entire Toronto Argonauts family is saddened to learn of the passing of football executive Greg Mohns this morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this extremely difficult time. He will forever be remembered as one of the architects behind three of the team’s Grey Cup championships in 1996, 1997 and 2004, and responsible for finding some of the most talented and decorated players to ever wear Double Blue.
Mohns first joined the Argonauts for the 1996 season as its Assistant General Manager and Director of Football Operations. After missing the playoffs one season earlier, the team improved to an overall record of 17-3 en route to winning the first of back-to-back Grey Cup championships in 1996 and 1997. Many Argos and CFL fans still consider the 1996 and 1997 teams to be among the best ever.
After leaving the organization from 1998-2002, Mohns re-joined the Double Blue in 2003 as Director of Football Operations, and once again helped to assemble a team that found immediate success by winning the 2004 Grey Cup championship. Mohns was rewarded for his work the next year when he was promoted to Assistant General Manager and Director of Football Operations, a position that he held until his departure in 2009.
Mohns is survived by his son, Jason, who is currently the Head Coach at Saguaro High School in Scottsdale, Arizona.
