Re: TJ Going to UNLV?
I'm curious to know why a few of the posters made it sound like there is no way Ryan Miller would get hired as long as Sell is the AD. What's the backstory on that, if you don't mind sharing. I don't think Miller is a guy who is going to interview very well, so maybe it's as simple a he had a bad interview the last time around (I don't know if he interviewed or not).
I'm also not familiar with the backstory on Austin Hansen. It was alluded that the players ran him out and he possibly quit on the team. I wasn't aware of that. I've talked to him several times, he always seemed like a nice guy, but I do agree with whoever said he doesn't have the personality to be a head coach. I shouldn't say he doesn't, because it's not like I know him that well, it would be more appropriate to say "I would be surprised if he did from what I have seen."
It would make me nervous if you hired Miles. I like Miles a lot. I was a big defender of him at Nebraska, but I will say it was tough for me to argue that he really didn't have a lot of success after Craig Smith left. Smith left right after Nebraska had that surprise season and Miles won National Coach of the Year. Then Smith turned USD around and now Utah St as well. Nebraska on the other hand never got back to the tournament, so I do have to question Miles a little bit as a coach, but I really think he can energize a fan base.
I know you guys probably won't give a serious look at Craig Doty, but man do I wish USD would have hired him after Smith left. He is having amazing success. I'm also a big fan of Matt Wilber, I think he's a really good coach.
I'm pretty sure the hire will be a P5 assistant that I have never heard of (which is pretty much all of the assistants out there, unless they are from SD).
