Sean Miller is a coach on the downward slope of his career. Would be a fucking stupid hire.

Yeah, I don’t know shit about fuck when it comes to hiring college basketball coaches, but just passing along what Gerry said. “Elite college offensive coach” who would play a crowd-pleasing style that would pack the Moody Center.  Says he was a “done deal” as the hire last time before RT made the run to the EE.

That whole crowd pleasing playstyle argument to be is dumb. You know what pleases the crowd most, winning and hanging banners. If you do that the crowd will be into it, especially at Moody.

Oh no, when it comes to judging basketball coaching quality, Gerry definitely knows more than me. To be clear, he’s not reporting that Miller is the hire, just giving his opinion on Miller if UT did go in that direction. They talked about a lot of possible names.

I tend to agree with this. The Running Horns/BMW teams under Penders were a lot of fun after the Kaiser Bob years, but they only got so far. IIRC, Miller has never made a Final Four despite his “offensive brilliance.”

If you squint hard enough Sean Miller is a solid floor setting hire that should be considerably  cheaper than the no brainers. Went on a run at Arizona where they went to the S16 five of seven years and won the conference five of eight years. I'm at least curious what he'd do in the NIL era at Texas.

Wait until he takes the aggies to the Championship game, then hire him 5 minutes after they lose.

If aggy gets to the championship game, this place will be a treat.

But also, I see what you did there.

Why? What has Royal accomplished at the NCAA or NBA level as a Head Coach? He's a lifelong assistant who coached some Sudanese national team. You want to blindly take a gamble on a relative unknown just because he played at Texas?

Hey before Beard came to Texas he was unproven at Little Rock and smaller schools and took Tech to a final four. 

sometimes a gamble could be worth the risk

I’m saying before he went to Tech he was unproven and he took Tech to a final four , Tech has taken a few gambles and it’s done very well for them.

Just a reminder that CDC's typical criteria, while not the end all be all, is:

Program builder at 1+ stops
P4 success
Postseason success

He has not typically hired someone, as of yet at Texas, who hasn't done jack shit at the college level.  We let other schools hire the unproven guys, like Beard, and then we steal them

Removing Sark, because the BMDs hire football coaches here,  Royal Ivey has nothing on Mike White, Schloss, Vic Schaefer, Floreal, Bowman, Ianello, etc.  It would be wildly against who he has hired.

The p4 success thing seems more tailored to football. IDK if that is quite as necessary with basketball.

Todd Golden only had San Francisco on his resume before Florida hired him. I don't buy the "he has to have built a program at the D1 level" stuff. If a guy can coach hire him.

If that dude could keep it in his god damn pants and off instagram DMs, I'd be on the Todd Golden train

Also if you want to hire and up and comer, you have to be patient.  Florida fans had to go through this to get through this year:

2022–23 Florida 16–17 9–9 8th NIT First Round
2023–24 Florida 24–12 11–7 6th NCAA Division I Round of 64

As everyone knows, our fan base is notoriously patient.

Chip believes it’s Miller. Ugh. The name I heard a few months ago has not been mentioned much in this thread in the last many weeks. I’ve heard nothing in the last several weeks. I’m assuming it’s either because they’ve locked him up or they couldn’t get a deal down or he didn’t pass muster. No idea.

Chip and Gerry seem to be the most on the Miller train. Bobby said he's not sold on it being Miller.
