Yes, with Brad Stevens, one of the best coaches in the game, look at what he's done with the Celtics, I'd argue he's overachieved even in a weak Eastern Conference.. I'm saying Sean Miller had a plethora of 5 star recruits, and all that to his disposal, the talent he had on those Arizona teams were higher than that of X, I'm not saying it counts the heart, determination, passion, etc, but purely athleticism standpoint, they were better in that regard. My question wasn't really Xavier as a brand, it was more so does Sean Miller have the ability to coach a SLIGHTLY lesser talent pool to a Final 4.

I think Miller works better with 3-4 year players. Obviously he doesn't want to pass on the type of talent that leaves after one or two years (who would) but when he can have more time molding very talented guys for 3-4 years into his system he is better off than getting in the one and done game. In other words, I think he would bring Xavier a final four if given the opportunity to coach here again (which is extremely unlikely).
*I think Mack has the ability to bring X to a final four as well.

Personally, and it's probably an unpopular opinion on here but I think Miller is a better coach than Mack so I would take him back if he wanted to come back and we had an opening.
While he was coach here, he valued defense and the development of his players in year 2-4 was impressive.

Miller was always my favorite X coach.
Mack strongly grew on me and he too is a great coach.
If X could get a one and done player, we would. It is all about promoting the basketball team to reach the highest level and that has always helped X gain students and rebuild the campus.

What I don't understand is how every message board, and rumor about the almost certainty that Mack is leaving for Louisville and the Enquirer is dead silent. How are they are not pursuing this at all? I feel he is 100% percent going from what I have heard from someone who doesn't make stuff up and knows some of the right people that would have that info. In Nashville I was told of the particulars of the deal, and I didn't want to believe it but it comes from someone I trust not to just throw something against the wall. Where the hell is the enquirer as I most assuredly know they have heard whispers as well.

I don't think he's going anywhere, nor have I seen anything that makes me believe he's going anywhere.
I don't believe any of this "I heard from a credible source" crap.
