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. 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

March 23Mar 23 Surprised that this has not been mentioned on the basketball coverage. I have not heard a word said or anything in the crawl.
March 23Mar 23 Miller has 3 NCAA tournament wins in the last 7 years, and has missed it 4 times. Very impressive

March 23Mar 23 Underwhelmed but I obviously hope he kills it. Idk how to change my name I may need help.
March 23Mar 23 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
March 23Mar 23 Sean Miller is a has been. Only advanced past the first round one time since 2017, and this is the guy that's supposed to revive our program?
March 23Mar 23 RT killed fan interest in men's basketball. Sean Miller will most likely restore it to a sport that fans tune into from mid-January til mid-to-late March.

March 23Mar 23 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.

March 23Mar 23 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.

March 23Mar 23 22 hours ago, BurntOrange&White said: If RT leaves for another program voluntarily, say USF as been mentioned, then that 4-5 million could go to another coach yes? 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.

March 23Mar 23 Just asking because I don’t know much about Miller, but why him over other coaches? $$$?

March 23Mar 23 Just now, Rip76 said: Just asking because I don’t know much about Miller, but why him over other coaches? $$$? 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.
March 23Mar 23 Portal opens tomorrow. Get him signed and let him get to work. Anyone at Xavier worth coming with him?
