When the subject is greatest coaches in the WPIAL in any sport, Miller is in the conversation. Before retiring in 2005, Miller took the Blackhawk program to unprecedented heights. In 29 seasons at Blackhawk, he won eight WPIAL titles, second only to the great Ed McCluskey of Farrell. Miller also won four state championships, which ties him for second-most among WPIAL coaches, and his 1992 team is considered one of the WPIAL’s best in recent history. At Blackhawk, Miller had a 583-222 record and also guided the team to a WPIAL record 111 consecutive section wins from 1990-99. Miller, a former player at Moon High School, coached a number of Division I college players, including his sons, Sean and Archie. He also coached Riverside for six seasons before coming to Blackhawk, and his all-time record is 657-280.
