I don’t think Sean will be the next coach at Xavier. Going to be an uneasy few weeks. Hopefully we can get someone with recruiting connections because Xavier is going to need that. Next year will be really depressing it looks like.

You would be wrong.

Very interesting. I thought Miller's agent called X to say he is interested in X proposing an offer. I thought that was true. Maybe it wasn't.


Some people have said its done and X is doing all the background checks, etc. This weekend we will know for sure.

Damn if true.

The link above does not address the question of whether or not Miller‘s agent contacted X. It only address whether he was in Cincinnati, heading back to SC, and returning to Cincinnati:

“He was in Cincinnati this morning, SC in the afternoon and will be back to Cincy tomorrow. That’s why source thinks decision will be made tomorrow. But need to correct,source said SHOULD be tomorrow.”

The rumormill seems to support that Sean was in Cincinnati, the timing of Steele’s firing seems to indicate something is going on, Miller makes the most sense, but who knows?

Steele was dead man walking regardless of the Sean Miller situation, IMO.

I think the only thing Miller's availability did was force the move now v. at the conclusion of the NIT.

I'm not sure Steele would see it that way though. I am positive he thought he could keep his job. Not saying he is right though.

The pay site said Steele was def not on campus. They said this is going to take weeks.

That's never going to happen unless Xavier offered basically nothing. Bruce Pearl gets paid 5.4 mil, Rick Barnes 5.2 mil. I'm guessing if X made their best offer it was 3 or a bit more. No way SC is offering 6 or 7

Ok, $1M-2M more? Still a lot of money. I understand Sean is probably fairly well off but $5M-$10M more over the course of a contract is still a lot of dough.

I’m sorry, but I can’t wait that long. Do something about this.

I’m happy to wait. The longer Sean isn’t committing elsewhere the better shot X has, but also- if it isn’t Sean we want to make sure we get the right guy. Take the time to do so.

Somehow Greg Christopher has gone from being worthless for hiring Travis Steele and messing up the women's program...to being a genius who is masterfully playing the strings behind the curtain to get Sean Miller back on board.

And all within the space of a couple of days. Amazing. Hope it works out for all of us.

Paul, cheer up man. No matter what happens with Miller Christopher made the first right step, relieving Steele of his duties. That was a good move we all were pleasantly surprised by. His next step is getting a solid coach hired. If it's Miller he hit a homerun. If it's not he has to have a good plan B which we will all judge when it happens.
