UT's next basketball coach - discussion/debate [Sean Miller Hired]


Recommended Posts

I am really interested to see if Miller and Bevo have a natural bond and if Miller reaches out.  Bevo is a huge part of our University and basketball program so if he has an instant affinity for Coach Miller that will speak volumes to our recruits.  If you could, please take and post video of their initial encounter.  Any still shots of Coach Miller petting Bevo would also be appreciated -- would prefer taken from side so I can see as much as possible of both their faces.

Maybe BEVO will even let him comb him and eat out of his hand? Too early to say.

Hook’em!!!

Beard and Schloss were special cases -- one is a UT grad and the other is close friends with CDC.  There is no analog in the current basketball coaching world, with the possible exception of Royal Ivey.

Would people really have been more excited about Ivey? Any logical reason for that other than he’s a Longhorn?

Very few of us were doing backflips over Sark when he was hired. And he was clearly the right guy. CDC must like what he sees in Miller

He might see the writing on the wall. 18-36 in conference play in his 3 years there. Probably another bad year away from being fired. 

Plus coaching at a mid major is about the hardest coaching job in the NIL era

Any good guy you find and develop portals out after one good season

No Ivey would have been a stupid fucking hire. 

Maybe in 10 years we give him a ring.

Who exactly is a "Miller pumper"?

Did you think we had a realistic shot to hire Dan Hurley, Jay Wright, Billy Donovan?  No?  Then who?  Oats?  Self?  Really?

Miller isn't particularly exciting, but he knows what he's doing in terms of basketball Xs and Os, and with UT's NIL support I think he stands a real good chance of doing damage.

You have to make Steve Kerr tell you no imo

I sure hope you don't think I was advocating for Ivey over Miller.  I was trying to point out the differentiators between Beard, Schloss and the rest of the coaching world when they were hired.  I swear, people just want to bitch about nothing.

Top 5 team, boss... Which we also did not have.

 

Right. I think Miller will have us competitive in the SEC. He made a fascinating stat in his presser earlier, he never had any McDonald's All-Americans on any of his teams at Xavier. Let's see what he can do with the resources we have. Since Texas is a globally respected academic university, we could have a stronger aura to pull international players to come here.
