Texas basketball 2025

Well before we delve into the next men's coach we will find out tonight who the lady horns will play Saturday probably High Point. The first 2 games will be in Austin and then it's on to the Birmingham regionals. Hey they're a number one seed I'm going to cheer them on.
 
Personally I’d be happy with this one. All you have to do is look at his success everywhere he goes. He's a master that we may be able to sap a few more years out of him before he gets too old. He’s turned SJ into a 2 seed in 3 yrs.

However, I really don’t care about the salacious issues with most of these coaches but how is hiring Pitino any different than why we fired Beard? Is it just a timing thing? Pitino has served out his penance?
 
ESPN's Pete Thamel just reported that Sean Miller is the front runner to be the next Texas Basketball coach.

That guy I believe has been pretty trustworthy (Thamel)
 
Sean Miller would be a great hire. He would do very well with our facilities and resources. I just love his passion and intensity for the game and his players. I doubt CDC would have him at the top of his list. He likes to go big game hunting so my guess is he’s gunning for either Bill Self or Tommy Lloyd.

This has not been confirmed but if true this is a great hire. Not everyone will be on board but I’m a believer in his ability to evaluate talent and X and Os

Won the Pac 12 5 times in 12 years, conference tourney 3 times, and conference coach of the year 3 times. Also 3 elite 8s and 2 more sweet 16s.

At Xavier, took the team to the tourney regularly with one elite 8 and 2 more sweet 16s.

All the dude does is win. He’s arguably the best coach Texas has ever hired before his first game.

He was fired for violations at AZ. Not for losing. With NIL, no more worries about violations. He's also an excellent recruiter. It's going to take him 2-3 years to get our program turned around and contending on a consistent basis. He's literally starting from scratch.
 
Miller at AZ: 3.2M
Miller at XU: 4.5M
Miller at TX: >5M plus Austin>>>Tuscon/Cincinada
 
I just watched the Miller press conference. Very impressive. I like the guy even more. It is worth the watch

Check out Rick Barnes tha last 5 seasons.

4 years ago- lost in the 1st round.
3 years ago- lost in the 2nd round
2 years ago- lost in the 3rd round (sweet 16)
1 year ago- lost in the 4th round (elite 8)

This year- is kicking the sh!t out of Kentucky to go BACK to the Elite 8 for another shot at a final 4 team.

Might be the best coach never to win a championship.

If only we had a guy like that. We’d be set. Oh wait…..

His last 5 years with us. I wished he'd have wanted to advanced this far as he does now. I hope Houston kicks their ***. And Michigan State took down Chris Beard.

I would have liked to see what Rick could have done at UT with NIL money. Apparently Tennessee is helping give him the resources he needs. Being a great coach is also important to have talent to coach.
