March 23Mar 23 One Elite Eight appearance in ten years at Tennessee? One Final Four appearance in a nearly 40 year coaching career? I guess if the goal is making it to the second weekend of the tournament and nothing beyond that, sure it looks like a great hire. This

Having stepped on campus 14 years ago we have never run a modern/fun offense in that time so I'm going to believe. Also, I know people won't believe it but coaches can evolve. Gonna wait until I see what he's able to bring in roster-wise (which will be telling to see where we're at as far as NIL investment) especially given that we very well could have an entirely new roster to put actual expectations on him but it's nice to be actually optimistic. We got to see it briefly before Beard choked away his opportunity here.

Well - and I played basketball - so this pains me to say it (not really) - Texas football and baseball have zero margin for error, basketball is the sport that a coach makes the second weekend of the tournament half the time he’s gonna be set. National titles are aspirational but no one is losing their job here just because they don’t win it all.

I remember i actually was calling for him a few months before we played against him in that tourney, which made that game thread extra spicy considering my open pleading for him to replace shaka.

Lol their tune changed and just kept getting more and more “resigned” to the fact that it would be miller as the last 7-10 days have gone on. two weeks ago they were expecting a real deal coaching search vetting all of the best candidates, and then every communication just became more and more, as i said, “resigned”. multiple people have said that CDC had more to do with this hire then several previous hires, essentially that miller is his guy, and that he feels more confident in how things will play out with miller (at this price) than if we had made a huge splash dropping crazy money on lloyd or self. we saved money, the expectations are now way lower than they otherwise would have been, and CDC really believes in sean miller and feels like he’s got his guy. my takeaway is that he keeps his shit so close to the vest that even people i know who are usually way out in front of stuff like this were off the scent until basically a week ago.

He has definitely aimed higher on all the other hires he made without strong outside feedback (football). I guess RT was also made with outside pressure but I thought that was more PR than $$$ weighing in. I would have rather we spent upfront for any of the younger Big 12 guys.

I worked at a downtown restaurant that many celebs frequented. One day Sandra Bullock came in with a group of 6 or 7. They paid with a coupon point being, even rich people can be thrifty especially when there’s no real roi to them They don’t own the team as far as beignnall in on basketball, don’t forget we didn’t throw money at sark until he proved himself.

March 23Mar 23 I really wanted Lloyd and if we passed on him because of the buyout that kinda sucks. I also know shit about fuck when it comes to college basketball coaches. Miller will obviously be a big upgrade over RT and maybe it’s a great fit.

Good coach with a checkered past. Reclamation project. Having played against him for years in the P12, I personally think he’s a really good coach.

I’m not as connected anymore as I was but I know there were people that wanted nothing to do with NIL under Terry. This played out exactly as it was expected. Beard set this program back 5-7 years and Terry was never going to succeed.

Miller ran back to Xavier and regularly got beat by Shaka Smart.
