The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have been granted permission to interview Toronto Argonauts quarterbacks coach Mike Miller for their offensive coordinator position, according to TSN reporter Dave Naylor.
The 55-year-old has spent the past four seasons in Toronto, helping McLeod Bethel-Thompson and Nick Arbuckle win Grey Cups as starters in 2022 and 2024, respectively, and Chad Kelly win Most Outstanding Player in 2023.
Miller recently interviewed for the vacant head coaching position with the Argonauts, who are still looking for a replacement for Ryan Dinwiddie after he departed the organization to become the head coach and general manager of the Ottawa Redblacks.
The native of Pittsburgh, Pa. interviewed with Winnipeg for the offensive coordinator position last offseason, though he wasn’t hired as the Blue Bombers ended up promoting running backs coach Jason Hogan.
Miller has almost 30 years of coaching experience, including stints as the offensive coordinator of the Arizona Cardinals and assistant head coach and offensive coordinator of the Montreal Alouettes.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers finished fourth in the West Division standings in 2025 with a 10-8 record, qualifying for the playoffs as the crossover team before losing the East Semi-Final to the Montreal Alouettes. Zach Collaros threw for 3,048 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions over 13 regular-season games, going 6-7 as a starter.
The Blue Bombers ranked fifth in net offence, third in net defence, and eighth with a turnover differential of minus-eleven. The club’s leading rusher was Brady Oliveira with 1,163 yards, leading receiver was Nic Demski with 1,001 yards, and leading tackler was Tony Jones with 104 tackles. Winnipeg ranked first in attendance with average crowds of 32,343, which was a 3.7 percent increase from the previous year.
