Neither of them are staying lol. I’m sorry but even thinking that they might is ridiculous

For three offseasons, poster swore Freemantle was transferring. He wanted to leave. X had enough of Zach.

It never happened. I suspect you were one of those posters. It seems like I have not had a conversations with Swain nor Hugely nor Conwell. But you know things. You have a proven record. You're rarely wrong.

Again, people with their heads in the sand.

Coaches provide the players the opportunity. We don't have a coach, which means the player doesn't have the opportunity.

You think they're just going to wait around and hope the new guy thinks enough of them to pay them and play them?

It's a completely different world people!

That is unless there has been some dealing going on behind the scenes. I would be shocked if we don’t find our Sean and X have discussions about someone to replace him (maybe Mack) that Greg and the decision makers at X are good with taking over as head coach job… and I would not be totally surprised if part of the arrangement included Swain and maybe Conwell agreeing to play for the new coach at X with NIL deals in place for them to stick around at X.

Well, your suspicions are wrong so the rest of your post is moot. You can check my history if you want.

Regarding conwell and swain, it’s miller leaving for a bigger school. You want to point out any instances where a coach leaves for a bigger school and the best players on the team don’t leave whether it’s with the coach or to another school? If you do, fine I’ll retract
My statement, but what I said happens literally every single year.

There is zero chance a player would give that commitment in this situation. There's no chance all of that happened in that scenario, it's been too volatile.

You're just grasping.

There's also zero chance this gets leaked purposefully to the players first to negotiate. It would get out in 10 minutes.

Fair enough. It might be a stretch at this point to believe there had been any official negotiations with players. It is possible though that Sean might have agreed to encourage players like Swain and Conwell to stay with the program as part of the deal (which still wouldn’t mean those players would stay). I’m just trying to think out loud how Miller is going to leave X without pissing off everyone at the school or affiliated with it.

As bad as this looks for Sean on the surface (and it does look really bad), I would be shocked if something hasn’t already been discussed between Sean and Greg and figured out so Sean doesn’t ultimately leave looking like he is completely screwing the school. Right now, he looks like a lying, jackass who pulled the wool over Greg’s eyes just so he could get back on his feet in the coaching world.

I am so disturbed that Miller lied about staying at X for the remained of his career. At the same time, I have to believe we are missing a part of the story. I have to believe Sean is not so cold-hearted that he didn’t have something acceptable figured out for X - that he didn’t have conversations with his boss and during those conversations made sure there was going to be someone ready to take over the X job - someone X would be interested in having as their next head coach- someone who is as passionate about X as Sean seemed to be.

Is it possible Sean had Mack on his podcast this year to reintroduce him and test the waters, seeing if Xavier Nation would ever embrace him again? Heck, maybe even that’s a stretch. Anything is possible these days, though.

I could be naïve, but I just do not see Sean simply taking a new job and says “See you suckers.” There are just too many people at X with whom he has built good relationships. If Chris Mack (or some other high profile coach) is not already in the works to agree to be X’s next coach I would be shocked.

That's mostly because he's a lying jackass who pulled the wool over Greg's eyes just so he could get back on his feet in the coaching world.

I can't help but feel this is partially on Greg. Unless he knew all along that Miller was a lying jackass and was overruled by someone higher up the chain because of what all the donors and boosters felt was best.
