Obviously the AD is very in tune with the feeling of the fans. The program took a huge drop under Steele.Now Christopher has to make the right pick to get us back to where we were.The question is why today after you accept and played in the NIT? Do they have someone they need to move on now?

Sean Miller sighting on campus today. Seems like some will get their wish if my sources are correct. I know another school might be interested in him. Pray for a good outcome doubt they will announce too soon after they announced a national search or maybe they will,
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

I am hearing that Sean Miller was planning on accepting the South Carolina job this afternoon. Xavier got wind, made the quick move they had to make in order to make a run at Miller. YES, he's on campus! Hopefully accepting the job!!

Just hope he is not trying to play the two schools against each other but I heard the same thing. I hope it does get X off the pot and make the decision and we can focus on Sean for a lot of years to come. The deal isn't done till the paperwork is finished.

Hire Sean and give him a Lexus as part of the deal. Then it will please AH and Sky
Mille was my fave coach at X. The Lexus comments never bothered me a bit like most. The analogy wasn't inappropriate but hurt because it was us. Miller also never raided the cabinet of X players when he went to Zona. Matta probably said similar things about Butler when he came to X. It was so hard for Miller to leave X for a top 10 job and millions more, and we were still in the A-10! He would be my first choice, but only if he has been completely cleared, and if X had very stringent clauses in his contract.

I hope the recruits and current players can be retained, but this was a move that had to be made. I suspect Christopher got ***** from some key players in some way, not directly. I also suspect he has been speaking behind the scenes to some candidates. This will be a true test to see how effective he truly is.
i'm on the Miller bandwagon as well, but ONLY and IF ONLY there is nothing that can be brought down sanction-wise onto the X program. that's the only way X can even take a look at him. otherwise, move on. Lexus comment never bothered me. we are Xavier in the A-10 and they were Arizona. and still are. he was honest. and he was right.

word is Christopher hired a search firm to vet possible candidates for the sole purpose of "if i have to make this decision, are you IN or OUT", so to speak.

you don't do that AND fire your coach after a WIN if you don't have your man.

i don't know who it is, but they have their man.

we shall see.

According to a source to me, Miller was contacted immediately b/c an SEC school zeroed in on him. On campus today.

Agreed on all these points. My very shrewd nephew made the same ones hours before yours, so you must have some sort of telepathic ability.

Word is Coach K is available. Not my favorite but very successful. Just need to talk him back in ala Tom Brady.

If this deal happens, I may have to make a small donation to Xavier athletics in both of your names!

You do know Mman has 7 Lamborghinis, right? One for each day of the week. I drive an 08 Dodge Caravan. Please send directly to me.
