The Toronto Argonauts are expected to name Mike Miller as the team’s new head coach, sources have confirmed to 3DownNation. TSN was the first to report the move.

The 55-year-old spent the past four seasons as Toronto’s quarterbacks coach, making him one of many internal candidates for the job. He was listed as one of the top candidates for the position by 3DownNation last month and 3DownNation insider Justin Dunk was told this weekend that the hiring of Miller was a legitimate possibility.

The head coaching job came open in Toronto when Ryan Dinwiddie left the organization to become the head coach and general manager of the Ottawa Redblacks. Dinwiddie went 51-35 over five years with the Argonauts, finishing first in the East Division standings three times and winning two Grey Cups.

Miller has been a big part of that success, helping Chad Kelly win Most Outstanding Player in 2023 and Nick Arbuckle reach all-new career-highs in 2025.

The native of Pittsburgh, Pa. previously spent 12 seasons in the NFL, serving as the offensive coordinator of the Arizona Cardinals for two years. He also served as the assistant head coach, offensive coordinator, and quarterbacks coach of the Montreal Alouettes in 2013 under Dan Hawkins.

The Toronto Argonauts finished third in the East Division standings in 2025 with a 5-13 record, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2019. Franchise quarterback Chad Kelly was unable to play all season due to a fractured leg he suffered in the East Final the previous year, giving way to Nick Arbuckle, who threw for 4,370 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions to be named the team’s candidate for Most Outstanding Player.

The Argonauts ranked seventh in net offence, sixth in net defence, and seventh with a turnover differential of minus-eight. The club’s leading rusher was Spencer Brown with 314 yards, leading receiver was Dejon Brissett with 907 yards, and leading tackler was Cameron Judge with 79 tackles. Toronto ranked ninth in attendance with average crowds of 15,109, which was a 0.1 percent decrease from the previous year.
