Is it just me or is this too much noise for a CDC hire?

I think the problem is that there is a lot of talk because the pool isnt as deep or clear in CBB and it has been obvious for a few weeks that RT was a dead man walking. So Texas had to start thier due diligence early with how screwed up the transfer portal dates are right now.

  • 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 the lone hang up with him was that he wanted Mack gone before he took over and Patterson said he’d can Mack’s ass?

The reason given, was that Patterson gave a better interview and yes that could have been why.

Still if the powers that be couldn't have worked something out and they didn't see through what a fraud Patterson was it was still alarming.

 

You guys are all gonna look so dumb when it's Erik Spolestra.

I wonder what the venn diagram of posters who wishcast Billy Donovan every coaching search and those who wishcast Kyle Shanahan every coaching search looks like.

You can sub in Donovan for Wright, Self, Few, and Stevens and Shanahan for Meyer it would still be the same posters.

I’m guessing a Sunday afternoon firing of Terry and a Monday announcement of the new coach.

I, my Self, wouldn't know who he is talking about.

Another year of RT wouldn’t be so bad. He’s earned it.

I thought basketball was supposed to be CDCs baby or something and he’s going to settle for Sean Miller?

Edited by elguapo

I trust CDC more than the fucking Spurs front office right now, Christ.

Not that I'm against hiring Lloyd.

can one of you borrow the keys to Del's SUV and go park in the cemetery in Old Dimebox so that aggy has to give a raise to Buzz after they lose today

you know they have CTs with "coms" scouting every small town cemetery in a 100 mile radius

What makes you think he’s settling. There’s clearly something about Miller CDC likes. 

It’s highly possible everyone else told us no thanks.

He’s settling bc he didn’t consult the surly coaching search committee 

First time I've watched Michigan just now and that offense is impressive. Idk if he's an option but I'm on team Dusty May now

He’s settling bc he didn’t consult the surly coaching search committee

Going to be stuck with a coach that does well enough to not be fired but isn’t going to win a title. 

So Rick Barnes…….i guess fuck it

As the husband of a die hard Zona hoops fan, I’m telling you guys are going to learn to loathe Sean Miller. He’s a shit human being who bitches about everything and underperforms to expectations. He’s a terrible hire.

Sean Miller would be exciting if the last 6 years didn't happen. But they did. Pretty meh.

I want Otzelberger. Would be good with Tommy boy Lloyd too.

Why would he do that? Does he hate money?

USF would pay a fraction of the buyout, so yeah.

I think part of what CDC likes is that his mentor hired Miller at Arizona. There’s some familiarity there. Doesn’t change that Miller is a chronic underperformer. It’s a hire that reeks of settling.

If that’s true, then it’s some neglected thalidomide baby or something,

Chronic underperformer?

Didn’t the image that keeps getting posted here say that Miller actually performs around the same or better than his seed? 

At least a 1/3 of you on here were calling for Pitino who just got embarrassed by arkansas....so i think ill trust CDC....

Gotta make the tournament first. In the past six seasons that he’s coached, he’s taken his team to the tournament twice.

Okay but your seed is baked in and a reflection of how you performed during the regular season. 

I think Miller is fine but I'd be wary of hiring a guy that's been around for a long time and never made a FF.

I've seen plenty of people say Miller would get out coached by the likes of Bruce Pearl and Oats. Here's how many times each has been to the S16 or better. 

Miller: 8 total. 5 at Arizona and 3 at Xavier 

Pearl: 4 at Tennessee and 2 at Auburn. 

Oats: 3 at Bama and a 4th if they win again.

 

Also regarding his lack of championships and F4s at Arizona. There hasn't been a NC won by a school west of Waco Texas since 1997. He'll raise the floor of where the program has been since the late 2000s.

Oats was at Buffalo before Bama had the good sense to hire him.  Pearl was at Wisconsin Green Bay or some such prior to low T.  He's also sat out a few seasons due to his transgressions.  His last six years absolutely are not on a par with Oats and Pearl.

I'm getting so much mileage out of this.

just add buyout and current salary and this would set us up the bomb

Beard seemed to be a surprise hire. Who was the assumptive hire before him?

Beard wasn’t a surprise. He went to UT, and everyone knew he was our top target.
