The BYU Cougars have a new man in charge of the men’s golf program.
Cougar athletic director Brian Santiago appointed Todd Miller as the new head coach of the men’s golf program on Friday.
“We are excited to announce Todd Miller as our new head men’s golf coach,” Santiago said in a press release. “He has been mentored by one of the best coaches in the business, Bruce Brockbank, and is ready to lead our golf program into the future. Todd is an ambassador for the game of golf and will be a great teacher and mentor for our incredible student-athletes. The future is bright.”
Longtime Cougar men’s golf head coach Bruce Brockbank retired after this season, which saw BYU get to the NCAA championships.
Miller, who has been on Brockbank’s staff for the past 21 years, will officially take over in July.
Miller played at BYU starting in 1998, serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and finishing up as a player in 2005.
For the past 14 seasons, Miller has been the Cougars’ director of golf.
“I am humbled by this unique opportunity to be a head coach at Brigham Young University,” Miller said in a press release.
“For the past 21 years, I’ve watched Bruce Brockbank recruit, coach and love our golfers, and now I get the privilege to step into that role. I am passionate about BYU because of the impact the coaches, athletic department and the university had in my personal life,” he said. “My desire is to create an environment where our student-athletes can grow spiritually and succeed in their academics while competing at the highest level in collegiate athletics.
“Our goal will be to win another national championship, and I feel like we have the support from our department, our donors and our alumni to accomplish it.”
