There's a Natty joke in here somewhere.

I think Kansas is a better job. Kansas fans are far more reasonable than Kentucky fans.

I think we're getting ourselves in a tizzy over nothing of substance here.
They got Shaka after he turned down several other jobs and, while Beard was an alum, they still stole him from a conference rival 2 years off a title game appearance.
With their resources they are the true sleeping giant of college basketball and it's exactly why they're still considering other candidates despite the job Terry has done this year. It's also probably why Underwood isn't good enough for them, btw.

Yea the ego at Texas would not accept or allow them to hire Terry. Austin would explode if they couldn't make a big splash. Would be really funny to see what happens if he wins the National Championship.

As a Tucson resident, I never got any bad vibes about Sean Miller other than his painfully slow offense.

They're a sleeping giant but still sleeping. The fan base has unreasonable expectations and the leash is very short. It's certainly not for everyone.
Tobin Anderson (fdu) to Iona. Never ceases to amaze how 1-2 wins (and the media exposure) changes a guys career.
He has …
Odds that flirtation with Texas could just be a play for another extension/raise?
@Indy Illini Fan forgive me if I’m misinterpreting, but it sounds like you were referring to Miller here..Is it safe to assume that there is open, mutual interest between Whitman and Miller?
Yes - It’s definitely mutual … Sean and I talk from time to time …
There’s no like official deal in place for him to come if Brad were to leave … But he’s very open to the conversation …
Let us have fun.
Which Cohen has really worked wonders on … Watching Xavier offense this year has been a TREAT compared to the
“offense” we were running … For the film junkies like me … Last 2 minutes of the Xavier vs Kennesaw State game … Look at the offense Sean ran … Got a WIDE OPEN layup not once but twice … Dudes have to make shots but the looks they got … ELITE
He was a finalist for the job before they hired Pitino last time …

My best guess of what's going on here is that people within the DIA are testing the waters for fanbase support of them playing a bit of hardball on this topic.
Odds that conversation goes well with Josh = 0%
Saw Xavier live this past weekend against Pitt and they got any shot they wanted all game. Really impressive to watch.Which Cohen has really worked wonders on … Watching Xavier offense this year has been a TREAT compared to the

Or to frame the narrative and make sure it’s positive for Sean Miller.
Oy.

I'm surprised @illini0440 is so comfortable with talk of his dad leaving.

I'd take Miller 100 times out of 100 over Brad. Brad got this thing back to a respectable place but frankly I think he's hit his ceiling. Miller could take it to another level.
Oh I’ll still be here if Brad leaves
Man crazy stuff this morning and I feel like people are sharing more than normal (which is great). Still feels like there is a 75% chance we have Brad come Fall with maybe 1 change to the staff. Just my guess.
