Rotherham finished Coventrys unbeaten start to the season in emphatic style with a success at the New York Stadium.
Since the Millers conducted riot matt Crooks struck twice for Rotherham either side of 2 Michael Smith penalties.
Coventry skipper Kyle McFadzean had a day to forget playing a part in giving both spot-kicks off as well as being shipped off.
The hosts have been in front after 13 minutes as Crooks header was too strong for Marko Marosi to stay out.
The lead was doubled from the 19th minute when Michael Smith fired home from the spot after Marosi after a horribly short pass from McFadzean had triggered him.
Jake Hastie could have left a start even worse for Coventry but Marosi denyed him along with the rally from Crooks was retained out.
Rotherham did add a third goal in the 58th minute when Smith netted his second penalty of the game.
McFadzean gave it away after bringing down Crooks clumsily and referee Darren Handley sent off him.
Still another contributed to Rotherham goal with all Crooks poking beyond Marosi after Michael Rose switched off at his feet, in the 75th minute.
