  1. We all know the major male sports get priority. Reed-Francois will almost certainly be fired if she loses Fisch and Lloyd.
  2. I get their perspective was my main point. I would be pretty apprehensive about hiring a female AD at a major program. The reality is hiring/keeping male coaches is often a boy's club. Call it sexist or whatever you want.
  3. There are? Barbour at Penn State and Cohen at Washington are about the only two that come to mind. There isn't a top 15ish athletic program run by a woman but that's not to say a woman can't have success in that role. It would be a major anomaly though.
  4. Arizona received a lot of criticism from their fans for hiring a female AD. It's looking like they were right. She did take over a mess though.
  5. I think Lloyd is somebody you can get if you're willing to pay the buyout. There's apparently a lot of turmoil at Arizona with their new AD. Lost Fisch to Washington, we just recently stole their women's golf coach, etc. The new AD apparently took over a major financial mess and had to make major cuts.
  6. Assuming Lloyd is the hire our major sports (both men's and women's sports) are in a good spot. I can't think of a time when we had an elite coach in every sport. Men's basketball: Lloyd Football: Sark Baseball: Schloss Women's basketball: Schaefer Volleyball: Elliott Softball: White
  7. That's a good one but I bet Vaughn will be gone soon.
  8. Would Lloyd, Sark, and Schloss give us the best trio of coaches in the major sports? I can't think of a school that even comes close. The only school that comes to mind is Oregon with Lanning, Altman, and Wasikowski.
  9. Feels like the tournament success will eventually come for Lloyd. In 4 seasons, these were Lloyd's kenpom ranks: #14, #6, #11, and #5. So he's had a top-15ish caliber team every year as a head coach.
  10. Brother, you were in the women's basketball threads saying Vic was not a great hire because he could not recruit at a national championship level. Sorry if I don't take you seriously.
  11. Every hire CDC has made has been a home run outside of probably RT which was kind of a PR/emotional/forced hire but yeah let's judge his ability to hire coaches before we even see what that coach does at Texas.
  12. We can debate in circles about Miller but the point is there's no way age would be a factor in hiring him. Matter of fact, it's pretty obvious that CDC wants older coaches.
  13. That's not really Del Conte's hiring profile outside of maybe Beard. Bowman, Floreal, Schloss, White, Metzger, and Schaefer were early 50s to mid 50s if not older. CDC does not seem to be someone that wants to hire young and it's worked for him so far at Texas.
  14. Because he hasn't accomplished much? Wade has only made the 2nd weekend 1 time in his entire career. I do think Wade is a good coach though that will likely win if you give him resources.
  15. yeah, I think Sean Miller fits the profile to a T of what Del Conte wants. So I'm not surprised his name is being thrown around.
  16. But that's a terrible way to evaluate fit. You can find coaches that are on the cusp of greatness that just need better resources/talent. Prime example is our track/field coach (Floreal). He had a really good program at Kentucky but just needed better resources at Texas to finally win a couple national championships. The same is probably going to be true in softball with Mike White.
  17. Kind of like he would be able to do with NIL at Texas if we prioritized it? Texas fans would take 3 Elite 8s, 5 2nd weekend appearances, and 5 conference championships in a heartbeat. Please give us the results that Miller produced at Arizona.
  18. The only coach I've seen mentioned that I view as a for sure upgrade over Sean Miller is Oates. Donovan is probably a better coach than Miller but he also hasn't been around the college game in over a decade. I would have some apprehension with Donovan knowing how to navigate NIL and other parts of recruiting. Maybe I'm overthinking this. I guess my biggest point is I bet people on this board would view Lloyd as a much better hire than Sean Miller which seems wild to me. Miller has accomplished much more.
  19. I don't know about football but I view Sean Miller much like Rick Barnes. Based purely on resume, not style of play. Will always have good teams but can he maximize that into final 4 caliber teams? Not sure, but I think we could do much worse. Ramping up NIL with Sean Miller seems far from a bad hire.
  20. I think Miller is a good coach. Xavier had not made the tournament in 4 years prior to Miller. They were dogshit. Also, Miller would be a much more sexier pick if not for devastating injuries over the last couple of years. Last year's Xavier team was probably a 2nd weekend team if not for Freemantle's season-ending injury. This year's Xavier team would have likely been a top-25 caliber team if not for Traore's season ending injury. They've had some terrible injury luck.
  21. Maybe but man I don't see it just as a "floor" hire. Miller has made 4 elite 8s and the second weekend 7 times. He's more than capable of being more than a "floor" hire with talent.
  22. Can somebody explain why some are so negative about Sean Miller? The only time he's struggled is at the end of his Arizona tenure when they were in hot water with the NCAA (his doing of course). His floor is NCAA tournament caliber teams and with Arizona-type talent he can probably get you to some Elite 8s/further. Ramp up NIL with Sean Miller seems far from a bad hire.
  23. RT doesn't adjust at all. This was a game where there was zero reason to keep playing big. 90% of Xavier's offense was on the perimeter and it's not like Shedrick was doing anything special on the offensive end. We should have gone small with Kaluma at the 5 where we had more quickness to guard on the perimeter.
