MEET COACH MIRAN
RECRUITING AREAS: Eastern Pennsylvania, Georgia, California, Alabama
Jason Miran was named the Bucknell football team's offensive coordinator on February 15, 2019. Miran, who was selected to the prestigious AFCA 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute in 2021, also works with the Bison quarterbacks.
Miran followed Bucknell head coach Dave Cecchini from Valparaiso University, where he served in the same position for Cecchini's five seasons at the helm. Miran played a key role in Valparaiso's turnaround, guiding the offense to historic numbers. In 2017, Valparaiso totaled 330 points and 4,398 yards, both good for second in school history, en route to its first winning season since 2003. The following campaign, Valparaiso scored 290 points, tied for the fifth-highest total in the program's annals. Entering 2018, Valparaiso had not scored at least 290 points in back-to-back seasons since 1950 and 1951.
Miran mentored two wide receivers that rewrote Valparaiso's record book in Tanner Kuramata and Griffin Norberg. Kuramata, who Miran coached in 2014, graduated with 2,315 career receiving yards, good for fifth in Valparaiso's history. His one season under Miran was his most productive, as he caught the fifth-most passes (67) in program history. Norberg, who spent his entire career under Miran's tutelage, left Valparaiso with 1,725 receiving yards, good for seventh in school history. As a senior, Norberg caught nine touchdown passes, the most by a Valparaiso player since 2003 and the fifth most all time.
Before his time at Valparaiso, Miran spent four seasons as the wide receivers coach at Lehigh. Over that stretch, Lehigh went a combined 39-9 and won two Patriot League titles. In 2011, Miran's charges helped Cecchini's explosive offense finish in the FCS's top five in total offense (469.6) and passing offense (340.6) while averaging a Patriot League-best 32.5 points per game.
During his time in Bethlehem, Miran coached Ryan Spadola, who went on to play in the National Football League. A First Team All-American and three-time All-Patriot League First Team selection, Spadola graduated ranked second among Mountain Hawks in career receptions and receiving yards. Another standout under Miran's tutelage was Lee Kurfis, who led the nation in receiving yards per game (122.8) during the 2013 campaign.
A native of Pottstown, Pa., Miran graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009 with a degree in communications. He played on the Quaker football team, starting at fullback as a senior. Miran's first position out of college was at Franklin & Marshall, where he spent a year as a tight ends/assistant offensive line coach.
