Cynamon Discusses Argos’ Nightmare Season On OTR

With a 4-14 record in the books and no playoff berth, there's plenty of blame to be shared for the on-field demise of the Toronto Argonauts.
And count team co-owner David Cynamon among the first individuals pointing the finger at themselves.
"(Co-owner) Howard (Sokolowski) and I are very accountable," he told Michael Landsberg on TSN's Off the Record on Tuesday. "And yeah, we have to take the blame for this. We ultimately make the decisions."
The first offseason debate will be the fate the front office, namely CEO Michael "Pinball" Clemons and general manager Adam Rita. While the local media and fans hve pointed the finger in their direction, Cynamon says the blame is shared because their decision-making process was done collectively.
"The guy (Clemons) really is special, a nice human being," he told Off the Record. "You're right, (he made some mistakes). Every mistake you claim he made, Howard and I agreed with. How can you make somebody accountable when you've agreed with it? We agreed to everything he decided."
And will Rita, who has more than 20 years of CFL experience, be back next season?
"We hope so," said Cynamon.

There’s more than enough blame to go around in Argo-land after that pathetic display of a season.
