The Toronto Argonauts have verbally agreed on a deal with a new head coach for the 2012 season, according to a TSN report.
Montreal Alouettes offensive co-ordinator and assistant head coach Scott Milanovich has reportedly settled on the terms of a contract with the Argos, although a deal is not done nor has the team made any announcement.
Jim Barker is presently the general manager and head coach of the Argos but said after his team's 6-12 season that he would be open to the idea of handing over one of his jobs if that was deemed to be in the best interest of the franchise.
Jamie Elizondo was the Argonauts' offensive co-ordinator this past season. Elizondo's offence was the CFL's second lowest in total scoring this season with 397 points.
Milanovich has also been rumoured as a candidate for the Saskatchewan Roughriders' head-coaching position. He joined the Als in 2007 and has co-ordinated the Montreal offence the last four seasons.
