When Speros accepted the job to serve on Joe Gibbs' staff, it made him the youngest full-time assistant coach in NFL history.
In 1993, the Canadian Football League finalized their six-team expansion into the United States, with Speros being named the Owner and Team President of the Baltimore CFL Colts (later known as the Baltimore Stallions), the most successful team from the Canadian football league expansion south to the United States.
During his time with the Stallions, Speros also served as Vice Chairman of the Canadian Football League under commissioner Larry Smith.
This approach paid off very well, as the Stallions advanced all the way to the Grey Cup final in both seasons, winning it in 1995–Baltimore's first major-sports title since the Orioles won the 1983 World Series.
During the 1995 Grey Cup playoffs, the Cleveland Browns under long-time owner Art Modell, announced plans to move to Baltimore.
Rather than face being effectively reduced to "minor league" status (as he put it years later),[3] Speros moved the team to Montreal to become the current incarnation of the Alouettes.
[4] However, the CFL refused to let Speros' team keep their legacy as the Stallions, though it allowed him to reclaim the history and records of the previous two incarnations of the Alouettes.
After moving to Montreal, Speros' Alouettes franchise continued their success, making it to the CFL Eastern Conference Finals for the third consecutive year.
However, Speros said he remained open to purchasing the team if terms changed, and that he continued to support the league's efforts in the region.
He also served for twelve years (1998–2010) as member of the Board of Directors of Braintech, Inc., a publicly traded vision guided robotics company.
[12] Prior to his affiliation with Chalk, Speros was president and chief executive officer of Sideware Systems, Inc., a customer relationship management software company which traded publicly in the United States and Canada.
The group was a finalist and was recognized for their long dedication to bringing the "great American pastime" back to the Washington Capital region.
Their daughter, Alexa, graduated from Ohio University and served in management for the Velocity Restaurant and Hospitality Group in the development and opening of the Tacos and Tequila brand.
