Who gets the Texas job?

[65pacecar]

Sean Miller 💯

I hope not, I like Xavier and Sean Miller and glad to have him back there. Hope he stays loyal to them and enjoys the ride.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Pitino jr?

Gates?

Whoever makes tourney run?

 

[UKBB4Ever]

I posted last week that the rumor in Nashville was that they were firing Perry and intended to go after Cal.

But there were actually 3 names. Cal, Quinn Snyder and I don’t remember the other.

It ended up making the Austin paper.

You might look that up and see who the 3rd guy is.

Terry, not Perry

 

[Festivus Miracle]

Gus Fring???

From Breaking Bad?????

A bit of a lookalike.

He will stay loyal to the $$$. X won’t be able to come close.

Best Texas coaching candidates to replace Rodney Terry, from Sean Miller to Royal Ivey | Sporting News

Expect Xavier's Sean Miller, who eliminated Texas in the First Four on Wednesday, to be a leading candidate.

If they don’t go for Calipari, I think they are nuts.

Seriously? I think they’d be nuts if they did.

Richard Pitino, New Mexico

 

[IowaMuse]

Gonna be Sean Miller and has been the plan all year unless Miller crashed and burned.

 

[CastleRubric]

Chicken man gonna get you 20 wins and 20 kilos per season!!!

 

[KA4Prez]

Chris Beard would be a good fit.

I know that’s the reality, but he is a good fit at X.

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

Seriously? I think they’d be nuts if they did.

I don’t think going to final fours and national titles are an expectation for Texas. Going to some sweet 16s, putting a bunch of players in the NBA and getting big brand coverage might be a big deal for them.

Texas and Kentucky are very different jobs

I'll happily take the job. I never played basketball, but I have a winning disposition and a desire to get paid a few million dollars over the span of three years.

Exactly, I’ll take a million a year with a 500k buyout. I’ll assemble a crazy staff.

With that kind of honesty and demeanor, YOU are hired JPFisher! Congrats!

Please, call me Coach Fisher.

Oates wouldn't leave Bama for Kentucky but he would leave Bama for Texas?

Oats may have been a timing thing. Was going through a divorce. He might be up for a move now.

But you know how these go. Win two games this weekend and you become the next star. Could be Dwight Perry.

Chris Jans would be a solid hire.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Barney never actually tried to get Oats.

 

[BBNinSC]

I would not be happy with a Sean Miller hire if I were a Texas fan. You get Will Wade to change his mind at NCST. Billy Donovan, Chris Beard and Dana Altman all took jobs and then left after a few days.

Barney never actually tried to get Oats.

Thankfully

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

I’d like to see Cal leverage a Texas offer for a raise and an extension at Arkansas.

I hope Texas doesn’t hire Pitino.

Pitino ain’t leaving St. John’s. Perfect setup for him

Bro, did you steal my resume off of LinkedIn. Those video game stats are me line for line

Oates wouldn't leave Bama for Kentucky but he would leave Bama for Texas?

Unless what I heard is wrong, Oats was never offered the job here. The only three inquired were Hurley, Drew, and Pope.

But I agree, he won’t do that. It would be a lateral move.

With what he has built at Alabama, I think it would be a demotion.

No. The other one.

Yes, if there’s one thing we know about Pitino, it’s that he’d never leave a perfect setup.

I have no idea whether Texas would actually look at Pitino, but I could make the case that they’d be a great match. And I’d wager that if Pitino ever sees a path to greater glory, he will leave St. John’s in a New York minute.

 

[BradleyCrawford08]

A coach with decades of experience.
A coach with SEC experience.
A coach born and raised in Texas.
A relentless recruiter.

That's right, Billy Clyde Gillespie will bring Texas back to their glory days!

 

[twindaddy2003+1]

Think cal would take it if somehow he could get out of the can't go to another sec team language in his contract with Arkansas.

 

[Edgarman]

Oates wouldn't leave Bama for Kentucky but he would leave Bama for Texas?

Texas is a better job than here in Lexington. I say that ONLY bcause UK pressure to win BIG is 10 time more than Texas. Texas also can pay a coach as much or more than any school in the entire country. Deep Deep pockets in Austin.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Sean Miller may take and run with it.

 

[SemperFiCat]

If Texas gets Golden, look out.

 

[Cat in ga]

How about Jai Lucas reneges on Miami and then takes the Texas job?

Sounds about right

Same (and I got that from Trilly Donovan’s site, which is “supposedly” reliable). I think the Oats story is Mitch called the Bama AD to say “any chance you guys would lower that $17 million buyout?” Answer was “nope”, and that was that.

 

[MachineHead1]

Tom freaking Crean, baby

 

[JFCats22]

Haha....no it's not. Not even close. Ridiculous assertion.

 

[CrimsonCats]

Maybe they surprise me and make some kind of absurd offer that someone can’t refuse, but I don’t expect that it will be someone who’s already established another power conference program at a higher level than what Texas currently has. The Sean Miller rumors make a lot of sense in that regard. He was forced out at Arizona more because of a pay for play scandal that no longer seems like major baggage in the NIL era than for poor results on the court, so he already has some high level experience. While the new Big East is still a decent basketball conference, Xavier can’t compete with the SEC for resources either. Seems like it would be mutually beneficial on paper.
