Barker. Although he is the guy who hired Milanovich, so........................

I like Barker, but I personally think he's a better GM than coach.

agreed 100% on Barker. I think one of his better moves of all time was stepping back from coaching and keeping GM duties. To be able to admit your strengths / weaknesses is big. I mean, look at Jim Popp screwing over the als franchise with his constant coaching changes and then inserting himself back into the position (seems like every year).

I agree, but he is the current GM of the Argonauts - could have used the GM's names as the house name instead of the Head Coaches. We're stuck with Milanovich for awhile. As badly as I want to see him fired - I don't want to see the Huard days return.

Yeah. As a head coach Barker has a career 29-43 record. Milanovich is 38-34, which considering the lack of financial resources the team has had is pretty good. I just don't get how anyone can be anti-Milanovich.

Barker had extreme challenges as HC not only in both his tenures with the Argos, but in Calgary he had an owner who wanted his son to be the starting qb.

I not only agree but suspect despite his fine skills as GM, he would not likely have survived as a combined HC-GM not only because many fans would have been shouting about his coaching record, but also because there is no way he could have done as thorough a job as GM.
