Head Coach

Eric Miller

Eric Miller begins his first year as head coach of the USM Men's Soccer program in the fall of 2000. He is the former assistant men's soccer coach at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Oneonta where he worked for nine seasons with primary responsibility for working with the goalkeepers in that NCAA Division I program.

Miller, 35, served as an assistant coach with the Oneonta women's team for three seasons before joining the men's staff in 1991 and was the volunteer head coach for the Oneonta Soccer Club where he trained youth players.

Miller's sports career as a student at Oneonta prepared him well for a career in coaching. He was a two-time team captain and received the Oneonta Athlete of the Year Award his senior year, 1987-88. That same year he was chosen New York State second selection.

Although this is his first head coaching position at the collegiate level, Miller has a well defined philosophy as he begins his tenure here. "I have a dynamic mind for the game. I want to utilize a 4-4-2 and play attacking soccer," he says. "We'll build around the strengths of the players we have available and adapt our systems to those strengths."

Miller is a native of Jamaica and came to the United States in 1980. He received his bachelor's degree in business and economics from Oneonta in 1988.
