in Sean Miller. Glad to see us kicking the tires on someone that is a winner. It's the wild west in college now. Sign him up.

There's no reason not to go after someone like Miller. The NCAA is toothless and with NIL deals they don't even matter anymore. Let's get a coach who can win.
And it?s time. We have to play the game to be successful and Sean knows how to play it. Also, Bruce Pearl, Will Wade, and Sean Miller in the same conference will make the SEC a recruiting hotbed

If you want to win, you gotta do what it takes. A move like this would be doing what it takes.
Cohen has the balls. Question is, will Keenum let him do it?Quote:

100% for it. Go get Miller and make State great again!

That he's basically a carbon copy of Ben Howland at UCLA. Runs a very similar offense, plays man to man defense 99 percent of the time, recruited inside top 10 every year, frustrated Arizona fans with his slow it down, feed the post offense with very little movement. It became clear his teams needed better talent than everyone else cause he wasn't going to out scheme them.Quote:

If fast paced, shooting 3s, up tempo, press defense is what you're looking for then he's not your guy
Bad press, possible NCAA investigations and/or penalties, loss of TV revenue, assuming they will be an entity in the future, and possible FBI investigations - fines/jail time like the assistant coach at Arizona received.Quote:

I?m glad I?m not the only one that thinks this wouldn?t be that great of a hire. It would just be Howland all over again with a lot of negative press. I want us to get someone with a more modern offense and a solid mid major coach that has showed consistent success for several years at that school. No more retread coaches.Quote:

Dont forget 1995's Sweet 16. Took NC UCLA to put that team away
I'm fine with hiring Miller, but it's a very similar hire to Howland in many ways.
We're not very likely going to get a hot mid-major coach unless we make them an offer they cant refuse. And we are unlikely to do that. Which would force us to the asst coach route or someone currently out of coaching.Quote:

I expect Kermit gets another year.Quote:

Bracket gonna be mad!
What gets me about some of these posts is it seems alright to some to hire a coach with a highly checkered past for the sake of having a couple of good or great years before we get hammered by the NCAA or FBI or some other entity. I don't know it seems strange to me.
Why not have a lot term strategy in hiring a more reputable but capable coach? Don't ask me who, you guys have a better understanding of available coaches, their style of play and their past history.
What was it he did that was supposedly so bad? What is this baggage I keep hearing of?
Is Miller unemployed now?
I want a young hungry coach, not a retread. I want a guy who can win with inferior players. I want shooting. I want up-tempo. I want Man 2 Man defense AND zone concepts. I want a real basketball coach.
