Title:
Defensive Graduate Assistant Coach

Blaine Miller is in his first year on the Colorado football staff, having joined the program in January 2019 as a graduate assistant for the defense.

Miller, 29, came to CU from the University of Georgia, where he had served as a quality control assistant on defense for the previous three seasons (2016-18). Prior to joining the Bulldogs’ staff, he served as the acting running backs coach at the University of Alabama-Birmingham in the fall of 2015. At UAB, he was responsible for recruiting and assisting the rebuilding of the football program, as the program was terminated briefly following the 2014 season but revived shortly thereafter, but the damage had been done and UAB didn’t resume play until 2017. In all, he spent three seasons on the Blazers staff (2013-15), an offensive assistant for one year and both as a strength coach before the program was eliminated.

In the spring of 2015, Miller was a player personnel assistant and Mel Tucker’s recruiting assistant at Alabama. During his time in Tuscaloosa, he assisted with on-campus recruiting efforts.

He is the school’s eighth all-time leading rusher (489 carries for 1,794 yards) and is fourth in rushing touchdowns (30). He also caught 126 passes for 1,302 yards, both of those numbers remain in the school’s top 10.

He was born January 12, 1990 in Lancaster, Pa., and graduated from nearby Donegal High School in Mt. Joy, where he lettered in football and wrestling in addition to playing baseball and running track. His hobbies include playing golf and spending time with family (two nieces and nephew).
