HAMILTON — Scott Milanovich is back on a CFL sideline.

The 51-year-old American enters his first full season as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats head coach. He takes over from Orlondo Steinauer, who’s now focusing full-time on his duties as the team’s president of football operations.

Milanovich joined Hamilton last season as a senior assistant coach but assumed play-calling duties when the club and offensive co-ordinator Tommy Condell mutually parted ways following its 3-5 start.
