Barron Miles hasn’t worked for every team in the Canadian Football League. Sometimes, it just seems that way.

“I’m just trying to work my way up until I’m finally in the position I’m supposed to be in … between defensive co-ordinator, head coach and general manager. Sooner or later I’ll get to where I need to be,” Miles said Wednesday, after Alouettes head coach Khari Jones introduced his staff of assistants to the media in the team’s Olympic Stadium dressing room.

Miles is the Als’ new defensive-backs coach and pass-game co-ordinator. Since retiring as a player in 2009, Miles has been an assistant with British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Winnipeg and Edmonton.

There was always a feeling Miles eventually would return to the Als, where he played defensive back exquisitely from 1998-2004 before leaving for the Lions as a free agent. A member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, Miles was a league all-star five times, completing his career with 66 interceptions.
