Miller coached for over 40 years within the Sac-Joaquin Section, compiling a 254-90-4 record as the head coach.

He was at Rio Americano from 1974-80, at Cordova High from 1981-93 and 1999-2007, and he was at Johnson from 1996-97. His 1985 Cordova team was a Sac-Joaquin Section championship winner and was the Section's first 14-0 football team.

He is fondly remembered by many for turning Cordova football from a hot Saturday afternoon event to a cool Friday Night game. He was the defensive coordinator at Folsom in 2010, when the Bulldogs went on to win the Section D2 championship as well as the CIF State D2 championship bowl game.

Max was a true innovator with his high scoring offenses and featured some of the most electric players the area has ever seen. He helped continue a tradition that Ron Lancaster built and then he took it to another level. All in all he was a fixture in the community as will always be known as the winningest high school football ever in the Sacramento area.
