Yup. I’ve said before I’d be all in on Will Wade

And I’m pretty sure what he and Miller got in trouble for is now legal and nobody cares or talks about their past like that. 

Wade was the “strong fucking offer” guy, right?  That’s just business as usual in this day and age.

  • The absolute simping for a guy who beat his girlfriend and got himself fired for being an asshole is pathetic. There should be more to life than your sports fandom 

  • that's an attitude that would make sense to me if i went to tech

    I don't completely understand the poo pooing of this hire. Maybe expectations were too high regarding who Texas was going to be able to bring in? Sometimes there's a candidate that's such a perfect fi

Wasn't Wade, according to the $9.95ers, lobbying hard behind the scenes for the job before RT was even fired? Like weeks ago?

I'm guessing he took NCST because CDC wasn't picking up his calls or answering his texts or DMs

You should really break down why those coaches were selected. Miller is not in a category with none of them. Bowman is considered the top coach in the world at his sport. Schloss was considered one of the best baseball coaches in the country and he had prior friendship with. 

 

8 years ago Miller makes sense, now he does not. 

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.

What a crock of shit.

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.

Every hire CDC has made outside of Sark which he technically didn’t make and RT have been top 5ish in their sports. Miller is not even top 10-15 currently in his sport. It’s objectively a bad hire based on his others.

Man, people are being uber emotional about their preferred guy potentially not being the pick.

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.

At that point he hadn’t recruited well enough to get over the hump to win a national title. I never said he wasn’t a great hire. 

Can I get someone to run across the court Drew Barrymore style in the movie Fever Pitch and tell Will Wade not to sign that NC State contract

NC State fans getting nervous yet? If Texas wants Wade, the job will be his!

The only people who seemingly wanted Wade are the fans, not the admin

And we don't get to make the hire.

Texas is a blueblood in just about every minor sport, along with football and baseball.  It's a lot easier to land a whale when you're a blueblood.  This hire is gonna be tricky.

Wade's biggest problem is not the recruiting violations; it's that he lied his ass off to his AD and university President and stonewalled when they were trying to deal with the NCAA.

And yet no one seems to understand why CDC wouldn't want him, or why Chris Beard's incident couldn't just be swept under the rug after the lawyer's letter to CDC

Don't lie to your boss

Don't antagonize your boss

Sean Miller has a better resume than Sark had when he was hired.  We went from Irving Meyers to sark

Saw a long time ago it could be argued this was the #1 basketball job.  Lots of resources, low pressure.  Shaka was a hot coach when we got him

It really is not. Elite 8’s & Sweet 16 type seasons were not on seven win Stephen’s resume.

Seems like an intelligent conversation goin’ on here

If the football game thread morphed into bball coaching search thread. 

Any realistic candidate is going to have warts. It is not the best hiring cycle. As with any hire, you want traits that translate well to Texas. Miller knows how to coach and identify offensive talent and has tournament success. At minimum, the product at Moody at least won't make our eyes bleed.

I'm not the biggest Miller fan, but I assume he is working with an NIL budget at Xavier that is probably 1/3rd of what Texas and most SEC schools have. 

My top three are Dusty May, Tommy Lloyd and TJO, in no particular order.

What coach can get donors to support basketball NIL and what coach can generate an offense that will excite fans and bring people to games?

I mean cdc will probably wait till the tournament is over unless his guy is eliminated early. I would puke if we retained rt another season. I hate watching these teams playing with ball movement and man movement getting good quality shots and we get this shit.

Goodman wouldn't report what he did if we were keeping RT

What I want:

Can recruit well. Doesn't have to be top 5. Hell, doesn't have to be top 10 in this era of portal.

Coaches a motion offense. No players are good enough to run Iso and win consistently.

Coaches defensive intensity. I don't care if you are slow and can't jump (because that isn't really a thing across a whole team.)

That's it. Go get good players that are unselfish and put them in position to win as a team.
