Welcome Coach Miller

I don't understand how people can want Sean Miller over Chris Mack. What has Miller done that is so impressive? Mack consistently winning with less resources and less talent. I would take that in a second.

Sean Miller is a great coach ... until the tourney starts... always has been... good recruiter, great fan base, just can't get it done in the dance. The U of A fans are pretty rabid, but mostly in a fairly passive way (if that makes sense). It's almost like they expect the collapse... and they seem to enjoy the ride up to the point where everything crashed down around them. If memory serves, Arizona (though not Miller) was the first 2 seed to be dumped by a 15 (Santa Clara in '93), so they have history and experience here.

The Jazz matchup perfect for them. Gobert and Hill are great defenders as well as Hayward being good all around. Throw in Hood who could frustrate RW and I think that series ends in 5 or 6. The Rockets seem too good to be true though. They are having an amazing year but their coach doesnt have the playoff success you would want. That could go 6 or 7 but maybe Dantoni gets past his oast failures and sweeps them. I dont see the Thunder beating either tho. I just dont see the Thunder going without a fight. Billy could announce before the playoffs. If he is our guy. I looked his contract up year by year some years he makes 5.5 some he makes 6.5. We would have to frontload his contract probably. I say 7 years 52 million. First year he makes over 8 and the following years 7.5 and then 6.5 towards the end which by then going off the success he had here could get a raise or extension by then. Make his buyout whatever makes him comfortable. 15 million each year with his next job going towards that amount. I am bored so numbers are keeping me entertained lol.

Think of all the money he'd get doing that coach's show at the Holiday Inn though!

The Alford rumors are starting again.

Have the Alford rumors ever gone away? They will be there until Fred Glass introduces him as the new coach -- or until Glass introduces someone else. (Hopefully someone else).

Somebody mentioned paying his mortgage off like Alabama/Saban. Is there any $ leftover from that Crean Buyout gofundme page?

Gotleib saying Alford to IU is a done deal. That makes me nervous!

That is if she had time with those unlimited tanning sessions she signed up for.

If I'm Fred, I'm hopping on a jet. Flying to Brad Stevens and handing him a contract for 12yr/$100M. Go big or go home

So everybody loves Chris Mack now? Ok then.

His resume still doesn't inspire a ton of confidence.

Mack does recruit the state well, but I'm just not completely sold on him... hard to pick a hire based on one game... but he seems solid in a quiet way...

I take comfort in the fact that Gottlieb is an idiot.

Yep. The Big East isn't what it once was.

And right there with you on the regular season success. The more times you can be a top seed in the tournament... the better chance you have of breaking through in the tournament. I understand Miller hasn't been able to yet (I understand the knock) , but I think he has proven himself to be a good coach and an elite recruiter.

The problem with Sean Miller is that he coaches the crap out of the regular season, and no matter where he's seeded in the NCAA tournament, he collapses.

I don't listen to anything that clown says. He wants to be a combination of Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith.

How do you think he would manage his time outs?

Nah... he can't keep track of 'time outs'...

I thought about doing this as a poll, but decided to do it this way so that y'all can list your percentage chance for various candidates.

My (arbitrarily imposed) rules for this thread:

• List by % chance ONLY
• "Other" is a useable option
• Total % must = 100

I'll go first with my opinion:

25% Bennett

20% Alford

20% Billy D

10% Sean Miller

6% Archie Miller

6% Holtmann

5% Mack

2% Fife

2% Marshall

1% Collins

3% Other

That makes me 99.9% confident it wont be Alford.
