Also, if it happens, the AD needs to go. It would signal zero confidence even though I’d still blame Miller. Basically, if it happens, he would have used the University to get back on track to go somewhere else. He can certainly do that, but the Miller name should be wiped from history at X.

Those saying “he got us back on track” - huh? We’re still floating as a mid tier Big East program. Finish the job. After 3 years after all you said? Hollow and manipulative.

Obviously, I only have these thoughts if he left. Anybody can speculate these days.

He came back as the sport was shifting under everyone’s feet.

In a different world I don’t doubt that he is sincere in his desire to stay at X for the rest of his career? Now, his ability to compete for titles is hamstrung by the massive financial disparity between Xavier and the SEC/B1G schools. It’s only going to get worse from here.

I don’t blame him at all, TBH. He’s a competitor and Xavier isn’t as competitive of a job as it was 3 years ago.

Let's stop acting like he wasn't aware of where the future of college basketball was headed when he took the job. That's a major cop-out.

We all knew on this board what it would turn into and we all knew (and still know) it will be more difficult at a place like X.

Sean’s name is going to come up every time for any top job. We just need to accept that. He’s not going to come out and say he’s not interested or he loses any leverage with X regarding his contract, asst. coaches, etc.

Do not see Sean leaving but if he does, it is because he knows, he will never have the resources he will need to compete for a championship. It would be a sad day, because realistically, it would not matter who the next coach is, our odds of getting to a FF would be slimmer than ever.

Not seeing any planes departing Lunken and heading to Austin at this time. Will keep an eye out over the next couple of days.

If Sean leaves for Texas then it’s because he got a divorce . His wife made it clear she will not move again. So he either leaves her or he commutes bc she isn’t moving. So Sean isn’t going anywhere and if he does I would put him up there with the greatest dbags in college hoops history. That’s a long list too.

MANY people on this board had their head in the sand.

Im hoping Sean is here for the foreseeable future, as I believe he is the guy to take us to a final four and beyond. Even with our slight in Nil, 2 out of the past 3 seasons he was missing a starting big on both teams. With Free in the Swt 16 run that team was final 4 good. This season we were a missing Trajore, which his skill set was exactly what this team needed to be Sweet 16 good, and possibly beyond.

If he were to leave, I’d have to think your first call would be to Mack, and see if he would like to come home and finish his career at his Alma mater and take us to many final 4’s over the next 20 years. Only question is, has he dealt with a lot of NIL yet? Also, would X look to him? I think they would follow suit with what they did with Sean.

I wonder what thoughts have came to Chris Mack’s mind this weekend about the X job and Sean and Texas. You know people have text him and told him. Hmmmmm. Still want Sean for continuity but Mack would be the obvious choice and fast to me.

I’m with you on that as would be most X fans. I understood taking the Arizona job but once he same back here I figured it was because he wanted to be here for good.I think his wife will be the deciding factor on this and I don’t think she wants to move again .
