I would be pretty happy with Miller. I’m curious if the portal opening Monday escalates the timeline at all. 

 

Yeah, I was telling a friend I’m wondering if going into the future (if the portal dates don’t change) you’ll even start to see more coaches doing what Wade did which is accept a job openly while still coaching your team in the tournament.

If RT leaves for another program voluntarily, say USF as been mentioned, then that 4-5 million could go to another coach yes? 

I think it's common to have some sort of offsetting language in coach contracts if they get a new gig. Someone would have to file a FOIA to find out for sure though.

Although USF is very familiar with the tactic of backloading a contract to fuck Texas.

And yes, it looks like things are coalescing around Miller 

yep, unless something totally unforeseen happens it’s miller.

agree with what you said- good hire, but there other guys with higher ceilings. just have to trust cdc, and see if miller can cut it in the sec with a more level playing field when it comes to just buying players. 

my big fear is that we spend 6-8 years being pretty good but never truly great, meanwhile other younger, better coaches are taking other jobs, while we settled for a lower ceiling coach who also happens to have prior baggage, just like so many other cbb coaches we refuse to even consider. 

instant reaction: somewhat gruntled, not supremely thrilled though. i see this as a david pierce level hire.

I’d rather stay with RT than do that.

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.

Well this is dumb.

Unfortunately, he’s not wrong. If Sean Miller is the best you can do, stick with RT for another season and see who’s available next year.

Who is the better hire next year that is worth tanking a season for that we aren’t willing to pony up for now?

Ben McCollum? Nvm he will be a p4 coach somewhere else

Why not hire him this year if that’s who they want? I’d like to think we can currently outbid Drake

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

So the entire history of mens college basketball at Texas?

Nowhere, they clearly don’t. I’m curious what people think is going to change next season that makes another year of RT worth it.

If the Texas money people open up their wallets, we can get pretty much anyone. The question then becomes how much money we have to spend.

Seems just as true today as a year from now. Unless we think being forced to watch one more year of RT Texas Basketball will make them willing to spend more, which is plausible I guess.

No, another year of RT isn’t worth it—not at all.

We are seeing what the consequence is of valuing perception over making a hard decision. RT should have never been hired, even after that run.

I'd like to know why Rodney Terry still has a job.

Quit starting shit. We all know CDC’s MO. You’re being obtuse to start something.

If Miller is the guy, this will all be over tomorrow. If it is him and it is not annoubced tomorrow, it’s just fucked from the jump. 

Yep. No reason to wait, already players going into the portal.  If it’s not done by Wednesday, it’s not Miller

Who would want Luck, a college and pro football quarterback, had a high position in the NCAA, and was a University of Texas Law School grad over the likes of Steve Patterson, for shame.
