Saskatchewan Roughrider President/CEO Jim Hopson announced today that Ken Miller has been elevated to the position of Vice President of Football Operations/head coach.
Miller will remain as the Riders head coach through the 2010 season, but will also oversee the football operations department. Miller will work closely with General Manager Brendan Taman on scouting, recruiting, drafting, salary cap and all other facets of the football operations department.
"I am very pleased that we were able to promote Ken into this role," stated Riders President/CEO Jim Hopson. "Ken has a wealth of football knowledge and has played a major role in our success over the past few years."
"I am very grateful for this opportunity," stated Miller. "We have enjoyed our three years in Saskatchewan immensely and look forward to continuing it. This is a first-class organization with a very strong compliment of players and coaches. I believe we have all the pieces in place to be successful for years to come."
Miller is entering his third season as head coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He joined the Green and White as the team's offensive coordinator in 2007 and was instrumental in a Rider offence that led the CFL in touchdowns before moving on to win the Grey Cup.
Prior to joining the Riders, Miller spent his previous five seasons coaching with the Toronto Argonauts. In 2006 Miller was moved to the defensive side of the ball where he handled the defensive line.
From 2003-2005, Miller was in charge of the Argos offensive line which enabled Damon Allen to have a career season where he was named the league's Most Valuable Player in 2004. The team also went on to win the Grey Cup in that same season.
Miller started his CFL coaching career when he was in charge of the Argonaut quarterbacks in 2002
