Hiring Wes Miller, who's gone 61-41 at UC, 25-29 in conference, and never been to MM at UC, would be a doozy.

First year in the Big 12 this year ... If they were not in the Big 12 ... They would have dominated their league ...
Take a look at their record this year ... They are in every single game ... Only bad losses were OK State, WVU and @TCU ...
They could do A LOT worse than Wes Miller ... It's not like UC is rolling in NIL money either ... Bottom 3 of Big 12 ...
I'm not saying that it would be an A hire but I think it's a B hire IMO ...

Playing in Big XII just means you have very few easy games, therefore you can few bad losses. Going 4-2 in Q3 games is not the recipe for a promotion. They should improve next year but it feels like a lot of pedigree is being factored in for Wes to the point where people are wanting to focus more on his future than his actual results.
he's got a comfy spot at BTN, he really wants to go back into coaching
Same. It hits a little different when we are riding though.
what. really?
He's definitely still beloved in Carbondale.
Should have came back after his Illini stint than KSU. Or going to a school like SIU-C's sister campus, SIU-E. I could have seen him retiring at that kind of job where getting to the tournament from time to time would suffice and having hard, tough, defensive teams win 18-20 games would be painted as being a saint.
No lol

You left off the /s
I believed you and would not have been surprised
Oh, thank god.
In fairness, Bruce's championship-game speech about the five fingers make a fist is the basis of Five Finger Death Punch's name.

I have a few friends who are SIU-C alums. We go to Arch Madness for the MVC tournament as much as we can, and I swear they still talk about Bruce to this day in how he should've stayed or come back. Bruce is a legend to a lot of alums.
This might be a dumb question, but why is Painter never mentioned as a potential for a blue blood job? I need him out of the B1G.
I’m trying to think of how to phrase this but Painter is a Purdue lifer. He would do well at a blue blood but he recruits a different way and different type of kid than the blue bloods do. He also has it made at Purdue.
