Green Bay Blizzard News Release
The Green Bay Blizzard has announced that former Blizzard assistant coach Rod Miller has joined the coaching staff of the Arena Football League's expansion Kansas City Brigade.
Miller, who had been with the Blizzard since the team's inaugural season in 2003, was named Special Teams Coordinator/Offensive Assistant by Brigade Head Coach Kevin Porter, who also serves as the team's Director of Football Operations.
During his tenure with the Blizzard, Miller proved a versatile and knowledgeable coach. In 2003 he was the team's Defensive Coordinator.

With Miller at the helm in Carolina, the Rhinos qualified for the playoffs 2 out of his 3 seasons, reaching the semifinals in 2001. Miller's teams ranked #1 in most defensive categories in 2001, ranked #1 in special teams returns in 2000 and 2001, and ranked #1 in rushing in 2000.
Miller has also served as Receivers Coach at Tyler Junior College (Tyler, TX), where he coached current Green Bay Packers WR Robert Ferguson and current Houston Texans and 2002 All-Canadian Football League (CFL) WR Derrick Armstrong.
