The Alouettes announced on Sunday the hiring of two new coaches who will lend a hand to the team until the end of the season. Thus, Kit Lathrop will now be the defensive line coach, while Ken Miller brings in as an attack consultant.
Following a nine-year career in the NFL and USFL, winning the Super Bowl with the Washington Redskins in 1987, Lathrop coached the NCAA and CFL for 16 seasons, making stops in British Columbia, Ottawa , Edmonton and Toronto. He coached the defensive line of the Lions in British Columbia when they got their hands on the Gray Cup in 2000. He served as defensive coordinator Renegades Ottawa in 2003. His arrival allows Greg prothrombin to deal with linebackers, and to call games in defense.
Miller was head coach and vice president of football operations for the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the CFL between 2008 and 2010 where he led his team to two Gray Cup games in 2009 and 2010, working closely with the quarterback Darian Durant. In August 2011, he returned as head coach of the Roughriders . In 2007, Miller was the offensive coordinator of the club under head coach Kent Austin when they got their hands on the 95th Gray Cup. He served on the Toronto Argonauts coaching staff in the CFL from 2002 to 2006, Dickinson University in the NAIA, Yucaipa High School and Redlands University in the NCAA.

Not even 75 year old sweet papa Miller can Save Durant and Kavis's grease fire.
Why would Miller tarnish his name by joining Kavis and trying to revive a dead Durant?
