The Toronto Argonauts are promoting from within in their role as head coach.
Mike Miller, the Argos' defensive backs coach since 2022, has been named head coach of Toronto, the CFL team announced Tuesday.
Miller replaces Ryan Dinwiddie, who left this offseason to become head coach and general manager of the Ottawa Redblacks.
The well-traveled Miller has had great success with the Argos' quarterbacks, helping the team win Gray Cups in 2022 and 2024.

Miller's hiring came after the Argos interviewed Winnipeg Blue Bombers coach Mike O'Shea, who ultimately decided to re-sign with Winnipeg.
