Jarred Miller (Head Men's and Women's Tennis Coach: 18th Year)

Jarred Miller begins his 18th season at the helm of the Asbury Eagles men’s tennis program and 16th on the women's side during the 2025-26 season.

The AU men's and women's tennis teams each earned Collegiate Conference of the South (CCS) Tournament Championships in 2025, automatically qualifying as the first-ever Asbury programs to compete in an NCAA Tournament. Miller was named the CCS Men's Tennis Coach of the Year after leading the men's team to a 13-4 overall record with a perfect 6-0 mark in the CCS, earning a CCS Regular Season Title as well. 

Miller also led the women's tennis team to a 13-5 overall and 6-1 in conference play, including the CCS Player of the Year (Ariadna Zegarra) and CCS Rookie of the Year (Katherine Nova). 

The Asbury men's tennis team, led by Miller, won eight consecutive conference regular season titles (2011-2012 to 2018-19), all with undefeated conference records. In those eight years, the Eagles also captured six conference tournament titles and made five NAIA Tournament appearances. He was named the conference Coach of the Year for all eight of those seasons.

In the 2023-24 season, Coach Miller helped lead the women's program to the best record in school history (14-1). Miller and the women's team were honored at the 2024 Eagle Awards as the Women's Team of the Year. Coach Miller also coached the men's team to an 11-5 record. The season was highlighted by a perfect 10-0 combined record between the men's and women's teams in Hilton Head, headed by Coach Miller.

In the 2022-23 season, Coach Miller led the Asbury men's team to an impressive 10-3 record while the AU doubles teams did not drop a match the entire fall season. 

Miller became the third coach in three years when he took over the men's program in 2009.  Since that time, he has reshaped the roster and brought stability to the program.  After posting a 3-13 record in his first year, Miller guided the Eagles to records of 7-6 and 8-5 in his next two seasons.

Then in 2011-12, Miller led AU to a 14-6 record for the first 10-win season by the program since 2003 and for only the third time in the program's 40-year history. The 2012 men's team also became the first since 1998 to capture the KIAC regular season title and the first to earn a spot in the NAIA National Tournament since the tournament was reformatted to a team event in 2000.

The 2014-15 squad set a program record for most wins in a season (18) and the 2016-17 squad posted the best winning percentage (.895), finishing the season with a 17-2 record.

The team also became the first in school history to advance to the second round of the national tournament by defeating No. 13 Coastal Georgia 6-3 as the No. 20 seed.

On the women's side, Miller has led the Eagles to three straight RSC tournament titles and NAIA tournament appearances and two consecutive regular season titles.

In his first year at the helm of the women's program in 2010, Miller led the Eagles to a school-record 18 wins and the program's first trip to the NCCAA National Tournament. He was named the KIAC coach of the year, and has won the RSC Coach of the Year award the last two seasons (2016-17, 2017-18). 

In 2011 Miller posted the first back-to-back double digit winning seasons in the 43-year history of women's tennis at Asbury as the Eagles finished at 12-7. In 2015-16, the Eagles handed IU Southeast its first conference in 17 years when they defeated the Grenadiers in the RSC Tournament championship. In 2017-18, Miller led the team to a 13-4 record, for the best winning percentage by a team under his leadership at .765.

Miller has been active in his involvement in both the ITF and USTA circuits serving various tournament committees. He was a member of the tournament committee for the ITF Grade 1 Junior International Tournament in Lexington for seven years, a tournament that has featured Maria Sharapova, Melanie Oudin, Marin Cilic, and Caroline Wozniacki. Miller was also part of the level 3 National USTA tournament that runs concurrently with the ITF Grade 1.
