Toronto claimed innocence over it all (assume Barker was involved, and the CFL doesn't like to come down too hard on Braley who owns them and the Lions), and got a slap on the wrist for signing/tampering with a coaching staff member under contract to another team. Thought is that new coach Milanovich told Jones to come be his DC. Argos called it an
"inadvertant error" after getting fined $5k, in yet another joke of a move by the CFL.
So basically a mix of Jones realizing he wasn't going to be a head coach here anytime soon, instead of manning up and asking his boss to let him talk to the Argos, just takes off knowing he can get a spot in Toronto as he was promised to be an assistant head coach and the team won't face any repercussions.
Coward.
