Eight-year NFL assistant Mike Miller enters his first season with the Cardinals as the newly appointed wide receivers coach after being promoted to the position on 3/21/07. Originally hired on 2/6/07 to be an offensive assistant, Miller joins to the Cardinals after splitting 2006 between the Berlin Thunder (quarterbacks/receivers) of NFL Europe in the spring and Robert Morris University (defensive line) in the fall. The Cardinals are the third NFL franchise Miller has worked for as an NFL assistant after previous jobs with the Buffalo Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Miller joined the Thunder in the spring of 2006 from the Buffalo Bills where he was quality control/tights ends coach in 2004 and tight ends in 2005. Miller previously served as an offensive assistant with current Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt and Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Line Russ Grimm with the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1999-2003.
The Pittsburgh, PA native got his start in coaching as a graduate assistant coaching running backs at Robert Morris University (PA) for two seasons (1997-1998). He also worked as a public relations and operations intern with the Pittsburgh Steelers (1994-95) and with the Indianapolis Colts (1996).
After attending Plum Senior High School, Miller, who was born on April 9, 1970, received his bachelor’s degree in communications from Clarion University (PA) and his masters in education from Robert Morris. |
