“We are very pleased to have Anthony back on our coaching staff,” said Alouettes head coach Khari Jones. “Anthony is a highly respected individual who has had one of the greatest careers in the CFL. The association between him and the Alouettes is simply natural, he returns where he had all his glory years. Our organization has just inherited a very good teacher.”
