I know nobody hates Sean Miller like Pantherlairians because he screwed over a very bad basketball administration 25 years ago and his dad said mean things in a Trib article 6 years ago, and didn't make a Final Four (the bum only made 3 Elite 8's, the nerve on him) but just wondering if any of you would take him, if that was the way we could afford a buyout.
Lets play this out. Miller is not very attractive to P6 programs right now due to baggage. Perhaps he wants to get back into college coaching and get back into it at his alma mater. He DID want the job in 2018. Maybe he takes an extreme discount to get back to the P6 level? Like $1 million per year plus lucrative incentives? That would be way below the going rate for a P6 coach but given his baggage, he will not get more than that coaching at the mid-major level or being an assistant in the NBA.
Archie at NC State and Sean at Pitt? Makes far too much sense for the ACC.
Just thinking of ways to minimize the buyout in a sense. I kinda doubt Miller would discount himself like that but if we are going to give Capel a bank vault to not coach, going super cheap on established hometown coach, who, despite what you want to believe, will create excitement, and will sell tickets would be a way to recoup some of the buyout. If he hired Tray Woodall (who has a Top 115 committed to Fordham) or Ricky Greer, I think people would be overjoyed.
