UNLV is a good job. It has a lot of recruiting resources, comparable to a good P5 school, but not that same level of pressure.

That 3-pointer he made with less than a minute left against the Cats in the Sweet 16 put Kansas in the lead and would win. I really believe if he misses that shot, the UofA wins and then beats Syracuse to get to the Final Four.Chicat wrote:UAB coach Jerod Haase to Stanford.
Hated that dude when he played for Kansas, so it will be nice to beat the crap out of him twice a year.
It is a fair question, but it's not uncommon. Jack Hartman to UA BB in '82, Earle Bruce to UA FB way back when, and Rich Rod to ntUSC this season come to mind.Chicat wrote:Why would you ever admit that? Sure it makes Cronin look like a prick, but it makes her look like an incompetent idiot. Why would you let him get back on the plane without signing anything if you truly thought he had agreed to be your next coach?Merkin wrote:What a chump if true. Don't think Livengood would fuck up this bad.
Only thing that costs more in Denver is housing. Left Tucson almost 3 years ago for Denver and it hasnt been that bad cost wise. I still miss Tucson almost every day but decent paying jobs (unless you are an engineer) are few and far between. Im glad i left but i will retire in Tucson some day but its nice that my family is still there. And its a short flight on Southwest anytime i get a hankering for Tucson mexican. I will say, the alumni base up here is growing quickly and super active. Seems like more and more people have abandoned the California dream for the Rockies.scumdevils86 wrote:The way things are progressing in my personal life and job I can't imagine living anywhere other than Tucson in the near future. The exception would be Denver...but Denver is at least twice as expensive of a city to live in as Tucson so unless I get someone to pay me twice as much for the same job that isn't happening any time soon!
That entire board is a rage fest.

It'd be like ordering an 8 oz Kobe Beef filet and getting Hamburger Helper.
This hire is the definition of losing the press conference.ASUHATER! wrote:Stallings has been a coach for 23 years at Illinois State and Vanderbilt. Hasn't won a conference title since 1998 at Illinois State. In 17 years at vandy he only had 7 tournament appearances and 6 winning conference records. Hasn't been past the first weekend since 2007. Only had two top 20-25 recruiting classes in the last decade+. Only been signed like 1-2 top 50 recruits in the last 5-6 years.
So he hasn't proven he can consistently win or go far in the tournament and can't really recruit too well.
Do not want!Catintheheat wrote:Or if CSM moves on the Cats could offer Tony Bennett. I am not overly concerned about the Arizona program in the long term. We are storied now, have the facilities, money, and overwhelming fan support. in other words a destination school.SCCats wrote:I've always liked the idea of getting healthy at the expense of a conference rival so for me if I was UNC I'd take a hard look at Tony Bennett to go along with the look at Miller.
I'm surprised Menzies turned down the job.Main Event wrote:

Not so sure about the second part, but the first is what I'm deathly afraid of if UNC wins the chipper.Irish27 wrote:On Dan Patrick today they were saying that Roy Williams could retire if the Tar Heels win the championship this year. If Roy decides to retire Dan said he will pick the next coach to replace him. If this happens, I doubt he will pick Sean Miller.
I doubt any top coach will seriously consider the UNC job unless and until the ominous NCAA cloud hanging over the entire athletic department has been clarified and lifted....Irish27 wrote:If Roy retires he will probably take his time and announce it during the summer just to insure that he gets to pick his replacement. I don't think CSM and other coaches would leave the UofA with the upcoming season approaching and Roy knows that.
They will consider it. UNC is a top two job nationally. It might affect the class of coach they get, but every coach is going to see UNC as a destination job that they want to spend the rest of their career with (unless the NBA).pc in NM wrote:I doubt any top coach will seriously consider the UNC job unless and until the ominous NCAA cloud hanging over the entire athletic department has been clarified and lifted....Irish27 wrote:If Roy retires he will probably take his time and announce it during the summer just to insure that he gets to pick his replacement.

I wonder if Archie would go there? If it was not really Matta's choice to leave, maybe Archie, or for that matter Shawn, would not go there out of respect for Matta.Spaceman Spiff wrote:This is highly speculative, but I just saw a rumor that Thad Matta is leaving (voluntarily) tOSU.
Wow, another coach Lebron James gets canned.Spaceman Spiff wrote:This is highly speculative, but I just saw a rumor that Thad Matta is leaving (voluntarily) tOSU.
Depends on what Miller is staring at the following season. To sum it up he wouldn't leave for Ohio State after this year.ASUHATER! wrote:OSU is one of the few 3-4 jobs I could see Miller leaving for.
Why would Sean take a step down to a football school? That would make no sense.ASUHATER! wrote:OSU is one of the few 3-4 jobs I could see Miller leaving for.
$$$/one of the richest athletic departments in America, favor to his buddy Matta if he leaves, back east/closer to home than Duke or North Carolina, conference he could dominate more easily than the ACC, good recruiting baseCatintheheat wrote:Why would Sean take a step down to a football school?

Why would Matta ask Sean to replace him as a favor? That literally makes not one iota of sense. Where and when have you ever heard of a coach asking another coach to replace him at neither of their alma maters to replace them? He already makes more than Matta, so you can throw $$$ out the window. He also has a much easier time of dominating this conference then he ever would the Big Ten.ASUHATER! wrote:$$$/one of the richest athletic departments in America, favor to his buddy Matta if he leaves, back east/closer to home than Duke or North Carolina, conference he could dominate more easily than the ACC, good recruiting baseCatintheheat wrote:Why would Sean take a step down to a football school?

One of the silliest things I've ever read. They pay Matta what they do because they want to. OSU could pay Miller $12 million a year without blinking. Just stop.ChooChooCat wrote:Why would Matta ask Sean to replace him as a favor? That literally makes not one iota of sense.

It's North Carolina or nothing. Just stop.
I'm missing the point. He's paid more than enough and if money was his biggest motivator he'd be collecting $4 million a year from NC State already or at the very least would've used the Pitt rumors as leverage for a bump in pay, but instead he shut it all down himself ASAP. If anybody needs to stop it's you and your BS about how Matta would ask Miller to take over as a favor. What a joke.ASUHATER! wrote:One of the silliest things I've ever read.

He backed off that more recently. UNC or bust.rgdeuce wrote:Ohio State was one of the two or three schools 97 mentioned (along w UNC) a year or two ago.
You know that how?ASUHATER! wrote:UNC, OSU, Kentucky or Duke or bust in that order actually.

He recruited well, had them in the tournament his first two years, etc; UNLV should've gotten more out of him. (I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt because his teams always played so well vs UA.)
