The Argonauts may yet lose offensive co-ordinator Steve Buratto.

The Grey Cup champion Saskatchewan Roughriders have received permission to interview him for their head coaching job, left empty by the departure of Kent Austin to his alma mater, the University of Mississippi.

The highly regarded Buratto was also a candidate for the head coaching position with the Montreal Alouettes but lost out to Marc Trestman.

The Argos, however, denied Saskatchewan permission to interview recently promoted defensive co-ordinator Kavis Reed for that position with the Roughies.
