Jim Barker joining Argonauts in player personnel role
The Toronto Argonauts continue to revamp their management staff in an off-season makeover.
Jim Barker said during an appearance on the Rod Pedersen Show that he is rejoining the Argos in a player personnel role.
The 69-year-old has had multiple stints with Toronto in different roles, including senior advisor, head coach, general manager and offensive co-ordinator. During his time, he has helped the team win three Grey Cups and has two more with the Calgary Stampeders and Montreal Alouettes.
Barker’s addition to Toronto’s front office comes after longtime Stampeders coach and executive John Hufnagel joined the team as a senior adviser on Tuesday. Hufnagel and Barker have worked together in the past, winning a Grey Cup together in Calgary back in 2008.
The Argos are looking to rebound from a down season, going 5-13 and failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2019.
Toronto also hired Mike Miller as their 46th head coach in franchise history following Ryan Dinwiddie’s departure to the Ottawa Redblacks to become their general manager and head coach.
