Miller to Texas

[Storrs South]

Sean Miller is not the same coach now that paying players is legal.

The Bill Self Effect

Get me Ryan Conwell on line 1 asap

Writing is on the wall.

Nova way down. Shaka is figured out at Marquette. St John’s best team ever couldn’t get out of the first weekend. Providence irrelevant. Xavier is a stepping stone.

NIL money is more important than ever, and we are not able to rev share like the big 4.

But keep your head in the sand!

Why post it here? We all want to be in the Big 10, SEC or Big 12 but you have to be invited. Revenue sharing is going to help those programs you just named.

three winning seasons, including two championships. The sand is pretty good.

You do realize the past is not the future? I realize this place is full of memory road, but it’s about looking ahead.

all I need to do is take a look at the teams that left the big east for the ACC. Worked out so great for them.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Miller totally blew it this season with a talented team. How is he still considered a top coach?

He does not in fact understand that.

Would be a great get!

oh snap he was only a junior this year. For whatever reason I was under the impression this was his last year.

You're like 8th fiddle at Texas as the men's basketball coach. While you're gonna get support it's not the type of support you need to build a championship program.

Tough to win at that football school, unless KD is coming back to finish his degree

Still don’t fully understand why, though. Bama, Florida, Auburn, A&M, et al. have figured it out. Why can’t UT?

 

[BFieldHusky]

Revenue sharing is going to help the Big East, not hurt it.

 

[UConnJim]

Maybe Miller will work out at Texas, but the SEC is a very tough conference right now with good coaches. He had some success at Arizona which was the top program in the West with lots of advantages and went 29-27 in the Pac 12 his last three years.

 

[SubbaBub]

Texas is a sleeping giant, unlimited money and local talent. Huge brand power. Miller should kill it there.

Money is no substitute for competence and patience. Two things they run short on quite often in Austin.

The C7 or whatever you want to call it now isn't going to do well in the NIL era. Even billionaires have their limits. X will find a good replacement, but they will need the money to compete.

 

[aceboon]

Did he kill it at Arizona? Nearly got arrested as I remember. I wish him luck though.

5 Pac12 regular season titles and 3 tournament titles, multiple #1 seeds but couldn't make it past the Elite 8 hump and then the downfall, I'd say he did pretty well

This is about the future Tom, not the past

Pretty obvious what is going on. Did you not notice the SEC getting 13 teams in the tourney???

When are you going to do the board a favor and follow one of those 13 teams instead of complaining on this board about things that are completely outside of UConn's control?

You realize that the NCAA tournament is likely expanding to 76 teams next year. Even if the SEC got all 16 teams in a 76-team field, there would still be 6 additional slots.

And at least half of them will be gone after the first weekend.

You only need one school to believe.

I can't reply to your post from yesterday as the thread is closed, but you got your answer.

 

[Cheddie]

He got good players(cough) but never got over the hump at Arizona.

He left Arizona under a dark cloud.

• five Level I violations from incidents that allegedly took place during his tenure
• self-imposed school postseason ban in 2021
• two former assistants with lengthy show-cause penalties

 

[cellocgg]

I guess Texas got the last laugh

This was what the "cough" in parenthesis meant.

Chris Mack is the early favorite.

Here are some coaches who could replace Sean Miller as Xavier men's basketball coach

Xavier is searching for its next head coach after Sunday's news that Sean Miller is headed to Texas. Here are some candidates.
