Saskatchewan Roughriders News Release
Saskatchewan Roughrider VP of Football Operations and head coach Ken Miller announced today he will step down from both roles upon completion of the 2011 regular season.
"Upon the completion of my duties after the end of the season, I am going to enter retirement," stated Miller. "I thank my wife Maureen for her understanding, friendship and support in my coaching endeavors. I'm thankful to Roger Brandvold and our Board of Directors. I especially thank Jim Hopson for his supportive work environment, his cooperation and friendship we have shared."
"Thank you to our coaching staff who have been unwavering in their support of me and our common cause. I am also extremely thankful for the opportunity I have had to work with the men who wear the Roughrider uniform and occupy our locker room. Finally, Maureen and I thank our personal friends across the province and the fans of Rider Nation wherever you are."
Miller joined the Roughriders in 2007 as the offensive coordinator and helped lead the team to their first Grey Cup championship in 18 years. He was named head coach in 2008 and over the next three years led the team to three straight home playoff games and two Grey Cup appearances.
A three time Coach of the Year finalist, Miller's 36 regular season coaching victories rank fifth on Saskatchewan's all-time list.
"It's difficult to put into words how much Ken Miller has meant to the Rider organization," stated Riders President/CEO Jim Hopson. "I can't begin to thank Ken for his passion, commitment and contributions to this team and to our province over his time here. Ken and Maureen have embraced this community and will definitely be missed."
