UW's Miller promoted for football strength and conditioning
Aug. 4—LARAMIE — University of Wyoming head football coach Craig Bohl announced Tuesday the promotion of Carl Miller to associate head coach of strength and conditioning for Wyoming football.
Miller is in his third year as a member of the UW sports performance staff.
"Carl works with our bigger guys and has done an outstanding job," Bohl said in a news release. "He's been working with our offensive line and defensive line and of course if you're going to play Cowboy Tough football you have to have strong, mature players up front. Carl has helped build our young men into the type of players we want them to be, and we're happy to promote him to this position."
Miller joined the Wyoming football sports performance staff in January of 2020. He came to the Cowboys' program from Colorado State where he spent the 2019 season as associate head strength and conditioning coach for football.
"I'm excited to continue to aid in the development of the young men of Wyoming Cowboy Football," Miller said. "Being part of a program that puts a premium on the development of our student-athletes as both men and football players has been a blessing. I consider it an honor to be entrusted with such an impactful role. Wyoming Football is special, and I'm glad to be a part of it."

He was promoted to the head of the department in August of 2018 after five years as an assistant director.
