Begged for him 4 years ago and was easily my #1 choice, don't see him leaving USC after a year especially given the croots he's got coming in

Yup this is who I wanted too after Oats. 

He’s home now though.

This isn’t true, not at all.

What’s fucking over Texas is a) timing and b) caring about perception 

 

this program is to 15 in all time wins in college basketball. It has a history. It has the means to win a NC. The coaches this website wants either have a large ass buyout or have already established top programs so there’s no need to leave.

Expand  

Nobody is taking or leaving this job because of all time wins. CDC is one of the most persuasive and capable hirer in college sports. If the best he can do is Miller, it is what it is. There’s nothing unique about the timing of firing a coach in March right before the portal opens and I’m not aware of any elite coaching options CDC is ignoring for perception’s sake unless you’re talking about Beard

Has anyone considered Miller isn’t the best we can do, but that’s who CDC wants? And has wanted since 2023

Miller has 3 NCAA tournament wins in the last 7 years, and has missed it 4 times. Very impressive

6th Street always there to hate on our coaches before they’re even hired. How’s the Sark hate working out for you? Sean Miller is going to kill it at Texas. Great hire.

By kill it, do you mean kill all fan interest in men’s basketball?

CDC gets the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Miller + bigger NIL budget + the increase in MBB scholarships

Let’s see if it works 

Expand  

You will learn to loathe Sean Miller as much as I do.

Regardless of who it is coaching Texas needs to start crushing NIL and recruiting. Hopefully he's a good enough coach still to take full advantage of that. May just need some new scenery. 

Either way it's fucking annoying to be back to square one like this. Thanks, Beard.

You ready for that name change, buddy?

Well I was not pleased when we hired a football coach with a well documented drinking problem who was unceremoniously fired from his last head coaching gig (at a blue blood, no less).  Turns out CDC knew more than me.  

I'm not necessarily saying trust the coaches/AD, I'm just saying if I dislike a hire it has a great chance of working out due to my reverse Midas touch.  So pencil in Texas as going deep in your future brackets.

If RT leaves for another program voluntarily, say USF as been mentioned, then that 4-5 million could go to another coach yes? 

Expand  

I’m sorry but the way I heard he treated the players at practice and in the locker room, he doesn’t need to coach anymore players.  People keep saying he’s such a good guy, yes publicly. I hope the next coach can coach and treat the players with respect.

Just asking because I don’t know much about Miller, but why him over other coaches?

$$$?

Expand  

CDC was on Jim Livengood’s staff when Livengood hired Miller at Arizona. I think that has a bit to do with it.

In all likelihood, the best of the best weren't attainable, and CDC has pre-existing relationships/knowledge of Miller due to his time at Arizona.

Also, CDC's hiring strategy of hiring coaches with high-major experience knocked out some of the higher-variance candidates that may be more intriguing.
