Former OSU player and coach Calvin Miller still impacting the lives of young men

LANGSTON

Calvin Miller coached OSU defensive linemen for Les Miles in 2001 and also started pastoring the good folks at Mount Zion Baptist Church on Knoblock Street in Stillwater, not too many blocks south of Hideaway Pizza and Gallagher-Iba Arena.

If it sounds like a heavy load, it was. After that season, Miles called in the man who as a player helped change OSU's gridiron fortunes and who sacked Joe Theismann while playing for the New York football Giants.

“I admire you, Calvin, but you gotta make a choice,” Miles told Miller.

“OK, Les, but that choice was made a long time ago,” Miller told Miles.
