Miller was named Interim Head Women's Soccer Coach in advance of the 2024 season.
In his first collegiate season, the Barons won four games, including a non-conference win over Otterbein, who was receiving votes in the National Rankings at that time. Eva Dexter led the charge offensively, as she had 30 points en route to be named PAC Newcomer of the Year and First Team All-PAC.
"As a distinguished graduate of Franciscan who excelled as a player and proven himself in the coaching ranks, said Director of Athletics Danny Andersen. I am confident that he will continue the tradition of competing for PAC titles, building a formative culture, and developing student-athletes on and off the field. He knows his way around the program, is committed to the Franciscan ethos, and will rally around the pillars of the Athletic Department vision: Forming Disciples – Developing Leaders – Pursuing Excellence. With Coach Miller taking the helm, I believe the future of our Women's Soccer has been solidified."
Miller served as an Assistant Soccer Coach for both the men's and women's programs during the 2023 season. He would help lead both teams to postseason play, as the Women's Soccer team made it to the PAC Championship. He also oversaw the spring non-traditional season for the women's program, as Sarah Salamida stepped down from her Head Coach position. Miller is also heavily involved with soccer camps and tournaments in his role as Director of Soccer at the Dayton Sports Complex and as Assistant Director for Ohio and Pennsylvania 3v3 Soccer Tournaments.
""First and foremost, I want to thank God for giving me this opportunity, said Miller. I am extremely honored and humbled to lead the Franciscan Women's Soccer Program. This program is rooted in tradition and has seen continued success in recent years, all while striving to glorify God in all they do. I'd like to thank Danny Andersen, Alexis Basil, and the hiring committee for giving me this opportunity to lead this program into the future. I am extremely passionate about this University and its mission and believe that I can help take this program to the next level."
Miller has received US Soccer Coaching Licenses in the 4v4, 7v7, 9v9, andd 11v11 Grassroots areas.
As a player, Miller played 86 games over his five-year career at Franciscan, including 85 starts, both of which are the most in program history. He was named First Team All-Conference four times, as well as being named PAC Player of the Year in his final season. That year he helped lead the Barons to their first PAC Championship and NCAA Tournament berth. The midfielder earned All-Ohio and All-Region honors twice.
