Michael Clemons

On October 8, 2019, Michael ‘Pinball’ Clemons was named the 20th General Manager in team history, marking his 30th consecutive year with the football club in various roles.

Clemons joined the Argonauts from Dunedin, Florida in 1989 after stints with the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Playing for the Double Blue until 2000, Clemons won Grey Cups in 1991, 1996 and 1997 with the Argonauts and was also named the league’s Most Outstanding Player in 1990. Clemons left the game as the CFL’s all-time leader in combined yards with 25,438, a record that still stands today. Halfway through his final season as a player in 2000, he was asked to replace John Huard as the head coach.
