REGINA — Ken Miller, a beloved former head coach of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, has died. He was 82.

The CFL team announced that Miller died Wednesday in Asheville, N.C., after a brief battle with cancer.

Miller was hired as Saskatchewan’s offensive co-ordinator in 2007, helping the Roughriders and head coach Kent Austin win the third Grey Cup title in franchise history.

The following season, Miller became a first-time head coach at age 66, succeeding Austin after he left to join the University of Mississippi.
