Sean Miller to Florida?

[Sean Miller Fan]

He's on the short-list. Not good enough for Pitt fans, just like Jamie Dixon as they prefer unproven lottery tickets....but good enough to be considered by a near-blue blood.

I don't think he gets a job that good that fast though. If, however, we hire some mid-major guys over a proud Pitt alum next March, there should be an investigation.

He’s not on their radar at all. Just because Jeff Goodman (who is a Miller schill) or someone else his agent puts it out doesn’t mean he’s involved. He has a 5 year show cause penalty coming, he has an NBA assistant gig lined up for next year and is most likely out of college hoops forever.

He isn't getting a show cause. There isnt a shred of evidence that Miller knew anything. He knew what was going on I'm sure but he's not an idiot like Will Wade. Book did the work.

The biggest charge a head coach can get is lack of institutional control. Meaning he had no idea what his staff was doing. So by your definition, he should get even a LONGER sentence.

I sometimes wonder if you’re doing this on purpose. No one can be this wrong this many times

All that aside, I’m sure Florida is dying to hire a guy whose program was terrible last year, got rid of their coach and instantly became a 1 seed.

Its been 5 years. When are you going to give up your dream of Miller getting a show cause? What it amounts to is a "rogue assistant" doing bad stuff. That's happened hundreds of times without coaches getting a show cause.

And Miller is now out of basketball and not being considered for ANY D1 jobs. When are you gonna give up talking about him as Pitt coach? He sucks. Tommy LLoyd is 1000x better than him. It’ll be funny if Arizona wins it all this year.

It would validate what a great recruiter Miller is.

 

[Ski11585]

It would validate what a great recruiter Miller is.

You don’t honestly believe 99% of the things you write do you?

Also, when has Miller ever shown himself to be a proud Pitt alum? The family dumps on Pitt whenever they can. Have some self respect.

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

It would validate what a great recruiter Miller is.

And what a terrible coach he is.

great recruiters don’t win at Pitt. Everything you’ve said on this thread has been confirmation he ain’t the answer. Thanks.

 

[bayardstreet]

Miller is a scumbag cheater who couldn’t win titles with the best players in college because he just isn’t that good of coach. Florida won 2 championships with really good players and a coach who could actually coach.

Sean played in an alumni game about 15 years ago. Didn't have to do that as a sitting D1 HC.

And John Miller isnt Sean Miller. What his dad says is meaningless.

Wasn’t he on a fbi tape talking about paying a player? That would be a shred of evidence.

Of course not. The ESPN guy got fired for reporting something that was completely false. Miller isnt as dumb as Will Wade.

I watched The Scheme on HBO and the FBI was pretty clear that they wanted Dawkins to roll up Miller and Pitino but he didn't do business directly with the HC's and wasn't able to entrap them so he had to go to prison instead of becoming an informant.

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

I’ll give you this, your dedication to a mediocre coach is insane.

Also, he is NOT a candidate at Florida. Do not be surprised if he is in South Carolina interviewing this week though. They’re willing to work with the impending 5 year show cause

I hope it works out for him. I’d much rather see him exposed at SC than Pitt

Do you think we would have been better the last 4 years had we hired Miller instead of Capel?

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

Maybe 2-3 games better? He’s not a better coach than Capel. Very similar

Sounds like the Joe Pa defense Nitters use

proud Pitt alum..never hear the dude bragging up Pitt..

 

[upj87]

that is hilarious...based on no statistic anywhere. What is Capel's tournament resume in his coaching years? I know Miller has 11 NCAA appearances and 4 elite eight runs and a career 73% winning percentage... How does "similar" Capel stack up to that?

Your record and the players you get determine who is the better coach..

When they both cheated their balls off, their ceiling was elite 8. When they didn’t, they sucked.

so Capel only cheated for a year and saw the light I take it...Miller on the other hand cheated for over a decade and was a top 5 kind of guy..got it. Still not seeing the similarity...

Put 25 college basketball experts in a room and ask them if they had the choice of a pure and clean forevermore Capel and a pure and clean forevermore Miller as the next coach they would hire the vote would be 25-0 for Miller...

Incorrect. All 25 are taking cyanide before taking either without cheating. They both sucked without cheating. Arizona is the best west coast job and he went 29-27 his last 3 years in the pac 12. That’s akin to going 3-17 at Pitt.

 

[docpanther26]

Arizona is a brand, players want to play there.

You are full of you know what!!!!!!!

 

[giveitarest]

Can Miller recruit without cheating?

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

They got rid of Sean Miller and instantly became a 1 seed. If that’s not an indictment on his coaching ability I’m not sure what is

 

[MarshallGoldberg]

Yep. Something like 8 players left so Lloyd had to rebuild a lot of the roster quickly. Now they're a #1 seed with three 4/5 star recruits already signed for the next two classes.

Lute went to five final fours with Arizona. It's probably the second best job after UCLA in the western US. No way to deny at this point that Miller underperformed there.

 

[Saboteur II]

Can Miller recruit without cheating?

No.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Can Miller recruit without cheating?

He doesn't have to. Its legal now and he knows how to get it done.

 

[rockypanther]

He doesn't have to. Its legal now and he knows how to get it done.

How do you know he can get it done with the NLI when everyone else can now to? Miller is very average as an actual coach and I don’t want any of him.

 

[JS School]

And John Miller isnt Sean Miller. What his dad says is meaningless.

Your son should start posting, he'd probably be well respected here.

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

LOL. You think illegal cheating gone because of NLI? Wow you’re naive.

Let me ask ya this: do the parents, handlers, coach whoever else get a piece of NLI and put it on THEIR taxes? Bag prices have gone UP, not down because of NLI.

You’re like Kay Corleone with how naive you are

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Its what he does. He will work tirelessly to secure top NIL deals. No, he wont get McD AAs but he can get the guys who used to go to the ACC and now go to the SEC. The ACC is so bad. If he can get a couple Top 100s for a couple years, he can take a nap during the games and his teams will win. The ACC is basically the A10.

even better

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

even better

So the guy who is getting a 5 year show cause is gonna come to the school with limited funds for cheating and cheat better than he did with unlimited resources? Makes sense

One of the best lines I've seen on here in months!

Miller is a disgrace to PItt alums. He's far from a proud Pitt alum and he and his family slam Pitt and have slammed Pitt every chance they've had. If Pitt would hire him after all the garbage he's done, then there will be a lot of very mad Pitt alumni out there.

 

[Voice of Danno]

Capel got caught. He had to stop. Then he sucked at OU. Miller was average. Had everyone around him cheat. They got caught. Of course Sean didn't know thus the Level 1 violation he was charged with because in the NCAA the head coach is responsible for the actions of his assistants. If he didn't know he should have.

The same guys that put Miller's name out there for Georgia have also put his name for the other openings. How did his interview go at Georgia?

This is true, but I’ve unfortunately learned today he is a legit candidate at South Carolina

That's probably why they have only made the tournament twice in 20 some years. Howland didn't work at MS St. Miller won't work at SC. But hire him please so SMF can be proven right.
