But but but I was told he would only leave for Ohio state? Or, maybe he knows what we all know… uc is second rate and will be in a second rate conference even with the move to the big 12.

If they could have it all over again, I am sure they would prefer Fickell had left last year for ND and they could have hired Marcus Freeman.

They may have another shot at Freeman before too long.

Considering that X has lost multiple coaches to higher profile programs and leagues, I don’t think that we have any reason to throw stones at UC for losing a coach to a Big 10 school.
There are only a very few jobs in college football that can be considered final destination jobs….Alabama and OSU for sure, possibly ND as a 3rd. But even at those we have seen coaches leave for retirement, or the pros, and later return to college coaching at a different school. It happens. It’s the nature of the business. I think that anyone assuming that Miller is at X for the remainder of his college coaching career is bound to be disappointed.

Not throwing stones here, I just find it hilarious he bailed on them for Wisconsin right before they are going to the Big 12.
There is NO WAY anyone at or a fan of UC saw that coming. That has to sting like hell.
Regardless of conference affiliation UC is just at a massive disadvantage competing at the top of college football. That isn't a bad thing as long the school and fans realize it and realize that seasons like the one last year are almost once in a lifetime for a football program like UC. They have a really solid program who will should always go to some decent bowl games which is a long way from where they came.
And I am the never say never guy when it comes to coaches leaving. I have fully expected every XU coach to leave at some point and they all did. However this is why I was so ecstatic to hire Miller. A great coach, who had an incredibly difficult time leaving the 1st time, saw the other side of things, made tons of money, and came back. I actually will be shocked if Miller leaves again. I do fully expect him to retire from XU, unless he isn't successful and they X fires him or they mutually part ways. But I don't see that happening."I知 willing to sacrifice everything for this team.
