Ken Miller named head coach in Saskatchewan
Courtesy Regina Leader Post:
Ken Miller, the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ low-key offensive co-ordinator who was last a head coach 20 years ago, is going to be presented as the CFL team’s new head coach at a media conference Wednesday.
According to a source familiar with the situation, Miller was offered the job Tuesday by Roughriders general manager Eric Tillman. Tillman, who interviewed 12 candidates to replace departed head coach Kent Austin, has evidently decided against promoting assistant head coach/offensive line coach Mike Gibson or long-time defensive co-ordinator Richie Hall.
Among the other candidates being considered were veteran CFL coach Dave Ritchie and Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive line coach Richard Harris.
Tillman confirmed Tuesday night only that it was “an internal hiring.” Repeated attempts to reach Miller through the Roughriders have been unsuccessful. Miller met with Tillman on Tuesday morning.
