Probably not...
Like I said a few months early or a few months later..
And there are no hard feelings.
Sean played and graduated from Pitt.
And he intentionally damaged the program on the way out... Then his dad did bodywork for years later.
A coach to keep an eye on
- Thread starter Sean Miller Fan
- Start date

I was not disappointed by this thread. At all. When I saw the OP, I thought "oh boy" and congrats, you all acted accordingly.
Refresh my memory here, which schools did Shoop and Hand coach basketball at?
Now all it needs is for you to swear and say something wildly inappropriate and everyone will be behaving the way people think they behave
Football coaches catch shit for leaving after signing day. Now miller 20 years later is getting shit for leaving before signing day. Let's say we get those two (which I have some doubts). Maybe they transfer before the semester ends like Birch did when he lost his recruiting coach??
Miller got shit 20 years ago for leaving a couple days before signing day too. There's nothing new here, except, apparently, for people who don't know what happened 20 years ago.
This is a HYPOTHETICAL example and I should have been more clear that I do not mean that in this hypothetical example, you would have to be CEO or have some high stress job to make that kind of money.
The job duties and responsibilities of coaching the Arizona basketball team is roughly the same as Pitt's. Miller's day to day job would be about the same. So, I'm saying that for the right price, Miller would take the Pitt job. That price might be way too high or maybe its not.
Maybe the better question for you is:
If your boss called you into his office and said they want to transfer you to City XYZ to do the same job you are doing now, same hours, same everything but can be way out of the park on salary. How much would it take for you to leave?
You say, "Boss, I cant leave. I love Pittsburgh. My kids have friends here, etc." Your boss says, "name your price, any price." Do you name your price (if so, how much) or quit?
So, for doing the same job? Would you leave for double the salary, triple, ten times the salary?
You can talk or write all you want with all these opinions about who will come and who won't, who is big time and what lowly job Pitt is and not a destination job, I think a lot of people felt that way before the hire of Narduzzi, and I believe most people are happy about that hire, we will never know who will come and who won't with JD still at the helm
Narduzzi is a bad example. He was hardly a huge splash hire. He is better than what we had, but this is his first head coaching gig. While in BB we are talking about attracting the top up and coming HEAD coaches. We haven't had much luck getting head coaches to come here, and stay, for quite some time now.
I know we are talking about a non-revenue sport here but Barnes hired a recent National Champion soccer coach. A guy regarded as one of the very best college soccer coaches out there. And it wasnt like Pitt soccer with its 0 conference wins in 4 seasons and turf field were big selling points. But Barnes got him and said they had to step way up in salary.
One thing we know is Barnes likes to spend money.
stop the miller talk. he's not coming here. its not the quitting, its the sabotage. and it goes way beyond stiffing willard. and there are several large donors still around who remember. as stated above, the millers aren't for the pitt panthers, they're for the millers.
Because their choices were better than NCSt. Sendek was only OK, there. No better at ASU. I have no idea if Miller staying would have gotten those guys to Pitt, but Ralph seemed pretty confident until that last day. Never got any traction after that...though Greer was a really good player.
a friend of a friend of a friend who knows my aunt and Sean?
lot of close UD alums as friends- UD would have no problem coming up with more $ to chase off suitors (at least being reasonable in terms of 1-2 mil more per year)
They love him out there, and it's a basketball first school.
Forget Archie, won't happen unless we'd get silly with the $

Dayton's bank accounts are no match for Pitt's. Not even remotely close. If Pitt wanted him, they could pry him away. There's a limit as to how high Dayton could go. How high Pitt is WILLING to go for Archie is another story.
Ur handle "Sean Miller Fan" means you should recuse yourself from anything involving the Miller brothers.... unless you have some sort of REAL information, and not fan conjecture.
I would suggest that any comments SMF makes on ANY financial matter...should be taken for exactly what they are worth.
No book anywhere would touch either event....UNLESS Miller apologizes for his sins.
