Idk why you all think this will have any effect on tomorrow's game. It'll be a sold-out Moody Center regardless of what happens.

99% of viewers will be watching the women games on their tvs. Those tvs will be talking about Texas men's and women's basketball during the game. That's a good thing for both programs.

  • 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

Well if the typical CDC timeline holds up, this means the replacement is ready which means it's probably not someone who is still in the tourney. In other words, it's Miller time meh (unless there's an absolute stunner with Mark Few)

Could also be McCollum from Drake. He'd also have the smallest contract buyout too since OTF said we don't want to pay a huge contract buyout. Idk what Sean Miller's is at Xavier.

It's weird that Miller is the only name anyone is leaking but everyone is saying there are multiple names. 

That’s how a coach still in the tourney would want it.

But also it’s not exactly a CDC play to axe a coach when he’s not ready for the introductory presser the next day. Feel like that means Miller

Iowa locked him down yesterday

Ah okay. I didn't see that.

A lot of coaches could be available after today 

 

Lloyd. Beard. oats. Drew. 
 

None of those guys will coach at Texas.

All the message forum & podcast tea leaf reading points towards Miller.

Beard has some familiarity with us.

He is a leading American brand of golf equipment, particularly known for its golf balls, and is synonymous with quality and performance, especially in the professional golf world?

The UF-UConn game is just beautiful basketball.   Would love to get either of those coaches, but that's a pipe dream.

This is why coaches don’t wear suits anymore lol 

I could talk myself into being happy with Miller. March performance can be a crap shoot. Everyone except Few has multiple early exits. Good, experienced recruiter who can get slimy. Hasn’t had a $ advantage since shoe brands were footing the bill. 

Fact of the matter is there’s nothing unique about this program to attract a championship caliber coach. Men’s basketball is maybe the only sport in college athletics where CDC’s hiring strategy doesn’t really play

Looking at some other schools without basketball pedigree: Auburn did it through putting on a blind fold to hiring a scumbag and Bama did it through hitting the lottery on an up and comer. If we’re not going those routes, Miller might be the best we can do and it is what it is. Fuck you Beard, why couldn’t you have had 1 fewer double whiskeys that night?

Sean Miller is the white Rodney Terry

Rodney Terry has won more NCAA tournament games than Sean Miller over the last three seasons.

Hispanic community, not great at basketball? Manu, Gasol brothers, Ricky Rubio, Ibaka, the list goes on and on of Hispanic greats.

I don't have enough to confirm it but I'd be shocked if Sean Miller isn't the next Texas basketball coach. It's well known he was in the running before Texas lifted Rodney Terry's interim tag.

A little surprised I haven't seen anyone mention Eric Musselman. I know his last 2 years were weak but before that he was a top name. Not that different from Sean Miller.

I would have thought we could have done better. Maybe not.

lol Self has a lifetime contract that pays him $10M/year

Yeah he’s not taking a pay cut. Hes going to have to tank hard to get let go from KU. Why start all over somewhere else in a harder conference?

This isn’t true, not at all.

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

 

this program is top 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 at their current P4 so there’s no need to leave.

Pay him more.

New era of Texas basketball!

So did Cal. 

Canary in the coalmine: Miller is 2 and 6 vs. Shaka Smart in the BE 2 neutral site losses in their tournament. 

Pitino lost both to Marquette last year but swept their 3 meetings this season. Pitino 3-1 vs Miller.

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

Dude has a lifetime contract at a basketball blue blood that pays him over $10m a year you really think he's entertaining another job?

Yup this is who I wanted too after Oats. 

He’s home now though.

Probably not, but he's going to have to say no.

Throw some money at Hurley.  Just to see. I know he didn’t take Lakers job but Storrs sucks.  Great timing now, too.
