Jim Miller, a native of Clark Station, Kentucky, graduated with a journalism degree from the University of Kentucky in 1970 and later earned a master's degree in journalism from the University of Maryland. He worked as a reporter and editor with the Louisville Courier-Journal and Baltimore Evening Sun until 1981 when he joined the National Football League’s labor relations office. Miller was the NFL owners’ spokesman during the 1982 player's strike and became a nationally recognized voice on collective bargaining and the subsequent salary cap. New Orleans Saints president Jim Finks brought Miller to New Orleans in 1986 as the Saints’ Vice President of Administration and chief negotiator of player contracts. After Finks’ death in 1994, Miller served as Executive Vice-President of the Saints before moving to the Buffalo Bills in 1997 and then to the Chicago Bears in 1999 in executive capacities and player contracts negotiator. In 2003, Miller became the fifth athletics director in University of New Orleans history and took the department through the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina before retiring from UNO in 2009. Miller chronicled his Katrina experiences in “Where the Water Kept Rising,” published in 2012. His next book was “Integrated: the Lincoln Institute, Basketball and a Vanished Tradition,” about an African-American high school team in the early days of integration. Miller also is a frequent commentator on local television and radio. Miller’s current book is “King of the Gunrunners,” the untold story of how a Philadelphia fruit importer inspired the 1895 Cuban Revolution and provoked the Spanish-American War. Jim and his wife, Jean, live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
