Miller was HC at Xavier for 5 years, with 4 tourney appearances, 2 Sweet 16s & an Elite 8


But yes, most people would have bitched about it being Herb v2.0

herb left in 2005. miller had only been at xavier for two years at that point. was that a serious post?

3/25/2011 8:39:41 PM

not when we were looking to hire

So if we have as much as $3mil to spend, but we drop $1mil on Shaka Smart, the rest is rolled over into the 2016 Replace Shaka Smart fund?

Sounds good to me

We could draw funds for server space and domain for fireshaka.com

3/25/2011 8:59:14 PM

He's like Herb, only dumber.

Herb Sendek - 3.95 GPA @ Carnegie Mellon

Mike Brey - Degree in Physical Education from George Washington

this has absolutely nothing to do with basketball.

but i do not want brey, or marshall. we get them and we are competing for 4th place in the conference, not 1st.

3/25/2011 9:11:07 PM

so you want a basketball coach based on things that have nothing to do with basketball?

3/25/2011 9:12:57 PM

well, it's better than competing for 10th, lol

3/25/2011 9:13:29 PM

no, their results on the court make me not want them.

3/25/2011 9:14:51 PM

I want a coach who makes a mean teriyaki dip

3/25/2011 9:19:54 PM

I could give a fuck if a coach can't even tie his own shoes, especially if he can coach well enough to win the big east

"no, their results on the court make me not want them."

Did you not see Marshall's team win at Virginia Tech the other night?

You do know they are 27-8 right? What "results on the court" are you talking about?

He beat UVA and VTech this year as well as Nebraska and LSU with a mid-major.

3/25/2011 9:21:00 PM

Oh shit, you're right. Those NIT wins are exactly what I want.

3/25/2011 9:25:28 PM

Yes because coaching at Wichita State in a one-bid conference this year he should be tearing it up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregg_Marshall

Please do some reading and get back to us.

[Edited on March 25, 2011 at 9:32 PM. Reason : They have beaten 3 quality teams in the NIT (Nebraska, VTech, CofC)]

[Edited on March 25, 2011 at 9:33 PM. Reason : I mean he's 2-0 against ACC teams this year]

3/25/2011 9:28:12 PM

Yeah, 4 years at WSU. 0 Conference titles against the likes of Bradley, Illinois State and Drake. 0 NCAA tournament appearances, and it's not like he inherited a shitty program from Turgeon.

You're right, he is the perfect coach to lead us to the top of the ACC.

[Edited on March 25, 2011 at 9:36 PM. Reason : 4, not 5 MY BAD]

3/25/2011 9:33:43 PM

You are showing how dumb and ignorant you are man. He took over a Wichita State team with I think 6 scholarship players. This is year 4 and the MVC isn't that bad. Look at his resume for God's sake.

Just for reference take a look at this resume and tell me what you think:

Johns Hopkins 10–9
Johns Hopkins: 10–9
Bucknell 11–14 6–4 T-2nd
Bucknell 8–16 2–8 T-5th
Bucknell 14–12 4–4 T-3rd
Iona 11–15
Iona 15–10
Iona 17–10
Iona 23–6 NCAA 1st Round
Iona 28–4 NCAA 2nd Round

[Edited on March 25, 2011 at 9:40 PM. Reason : Creighton, Missouri State, and Northern Iowa are no pushovers as well]

[Edited on March 25, 2011 at 9:41 PM. Reason : Turgeon made the NCAAs once in 7 years.....]

3/25/2011 9:38:15 PM

I dunno, I'm skeptical of anybody who can amass 42 losses in one year... I'm just sayin

I like to picture my coach with, like, big eagle's wings, singing lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with, like, an angel band, and I'm in the front row, and I'm hammered drunk.

3/25/2011 10:45:10 PM

Marshall = Sendek


Has he even recruited a single NBA player?

3/25/2011 10:46:04 PM

just read that Tennessee reached out to Chris Mack with a 8 year, 16MM deal .... and Mack said he wasn't interested

3/25/2011 10:48:04 PM

^cause he's holding for the state job!

3/25/2011 10:55:30 PM

I could get behind chris mack. Either there is something in the water there or they know what the fuck they are doing hiring at Xavier because they have had some home run coaches come from there in the last decade.

I'd much rather take a chance with him that get someone like turgeon or brey. That's for damn sure.

There is a good chance TN is going to be on some kind of sanctions next season. Not sure they are a very desirable job at this point.

take w/ a grain of salt but someone (w/o any sort of credentials) tweeted that the State players want Smart as coach

3/25/2011 11:07:35 PM

If true, I hope Yow takes that as her cue not to go after smart.

shaka smart is looking good






against florida state

3/26/2011 12:06:47 AM

not really getting all the shaka smart hate

watched his team all tourney long and not getting why he'd be such a crappy hire

more impressed with him than marshall or turgeon if we're gonna go after a mid-major

3/26/2011 12:13:02 AM

Shaka Smart may just be profiting off of Anthony Grants work at VCU. He suffers from the same syndrome that Mack does at Xavier. How much of their success is due to their predecessors? That being said both Mack and Smart are less risky than greggggggggg

urite

I forgot TAMU is in the big XII

still. DO NOT WANT

plus I don't care how he did it, Smart's team is in the elite 8

and Williams got thrashed by UNC

I'll take a coach who can beat ACC teams when it counts thnx
