Fire up the BUICK

How about the glass half full version: administration gives that combination 3 years. Travis learns from Sean. He gets air under his wings and takes off - he becomes the coach we want.

Sean’s “rep” settles down and he finds a HC position after 3/4 years.

Personally, I love the idea.

On the surface it would appear like a fun idea that could lead to tremendous PR for the schools. Unfortunately, it would also position those schools in the public’s eye as lesser than the universities where those two brothers lost their jobs.

In essence, Sean would be giving back his Lexus at the end of its lease and then leasing his old Buick again. It would also mean that the people now running my amazing alma mater have little integrity. Sorry, we are not “Buick U.” We are the Xavier School for gifted youngsters... and when our X-men take off next season with the final destination being New Orleans (Final 4), Sean is not welcome aboard.

I am okay with Sean helping Travis with recruiting and with some Xs and Os if he wants... as long as he is willing to wear a shirt every day that reads “Only a loser would call X a Buick.”

I'd love Sean on the bench, but I can't see Steele agreeing to that idea. That would be like signing his own death warrant. If Miller were older it might work, but Sean has a good 15 years left to coach, at least.

Sean’s F-I-L isn’t on Xavier’s BOT. Travis has an ace in the hole IF he pulls it together. Maybe.

That sounds like a FULL glass to me. I am not opposed to full glasses. :-)

Miller is basically holding a gun to Steeles head. You better win this year or else I’m the coach. Bring the man in!!!!

Maybe we can get Sean Miller to head up here to New Jersey and wax my car after we hire him as an assistant to Travis Steele. I'm not sure which option is least likely.

Unless he has a show cause Sean can and will absolutely get a HC job, and potentially a surprisingly decent one. I would be very surprised if he wants to go back to being an assistant, unless (MAYBE) at a very high level program with an older HC.

I see Woj reporting Miller is likely going to be an NBA assistant with at least one team already expressing interest.

Who is Miller’s agent aka “sources”? Not saying it isn’t legit, just the avenue agents take to drum up interest.
