Calvillo among new faces on Toronto head coach Marc Trestman’s staff
TORONTO — Anthony Calvillo was prepared to take the year off from coaching until Marc Trestman came calling.
The Toronto Argonauts unveiled pro football’s all-time passing leader as their quarterback coach Monday, reuniting Calvillo with head coach Trestman. Calvillo led the Alouettes to two Grey Cups in five seasons playing for Trestman in Montreal (2008-2012).
“We had a lot of plans, a lot of charity events, golf tournaments, travelling with the family,” Calvillo said. “Once I got the call (from Trestman) it sparked my interest because I wanted to get into this profession and learn as much as I can.
“This was an opportunity to learn from somebody who I have respect for. I thought I couldn’t waste this opportunity.”
