Dustin Miller begins his third year as the offensive coordinator under Head Coach Fred Thomas in 2018 and his seventh season with the Pioneers overall.
Miller returned to Malone after previously serving as the Pioneers’ offensive coordinator from 2006-2009 under former head coach Mike Gardner. Malone’s offense thrived under Miller’s guidance as the unit established numerous team records and finished near the top of the Mid-States Football Association (MSFA) statistical rankings in each of his years on the coaching staff. Miller was named the MSFA Mideast League Assistant Coach of the Year in 2008 after Malone led the conference in total offense with an average of 455.4 yards per game.
Miller brings over 20 years of coaching experience to the position. Prior to returning to Malone, he spent two years as Northwood University’s offensive coordinator. His coaching resume includes a pair of stints as the offensive coordinator at Bethany College (1999-2003, 2012-2013). In addition, Miller also served as the offensive coordinator at Hiram College (2010-11) and Tabor College (2004-05).
Miller is a 1993 graduate of Bethany College where he was an all-conference running back and helped his team to two conference championships. He went on to receive a master’s degree in Education from Wichita State University.
“Having coached against Dustin and played against him in the past, I knew what a sound coach he was,” commented head coach Fred Thomas. “With all his experience and being here when the program had so much success, it was a no-brainer to bring him back as our offensive coordinator.”
Dustin and his wife, Amy, have three children, Kyle, Payton and Katelynn.
