Now we have to worry about Marquette trying to steal away Miller.

Gimme a break. No way Sean Miller is interested in Marquette.

NO

Crean is telling his team right now. Per sources: Miller apparently told IU that he wanted to continue to build a power at X. Don't worry about Marquette.

If it works out, that is one heck of a hire by Indiana under the messy circumstances.

<In September 2006, Marquette gave Crean an extension running through the 2016-17 season. The contract makes him one of the highest-paid coaches in college basketball.>

Something is whispering in my ear that there is a new regime in Milwaukee and that a Jesuit is renegging on something other than money.

If he is one of the highest paid, and if it's true that IU said Sean's buyout was "too rich" something is rotten in Denmark.

I like the guy, personally and as a coach, but in every aspect, this is a bad career move, IMO!

I don't think IU had a chance to even consider Sean's buyout - Sean was not interested in the job.

Sean is a smart man. He knows he will be a legend when he leads X to the promise land rather than be at a place where he will be compared and contrasted. It is better to be the legend then to follow a legend. Sean may go someday because nothing is cast in stone in college basketball but I think he is a chip off the old block and how many years did his father coach at one place even when he was offered a better job???

Give me a break. What is it with people on this board worrying that Miller is going to jump at ANY opportunity at bigger school. If its true that the buyout was too big for Indiana then how in the hell would it not be too big for Marquette? I want Miller to stay as much as the next fan, but the constant obsessing over where he may or may not be interested in going or who may or may not be interested in him is ridiculous. I hope Miller stays, but if he doesn't we will find an excellent coach. It will set us back a few years, but we will recover.

Rick Majerus will be the next coach at Marquette. Seems like a no brainer, although I admittedly don't know the details of his contract with SLU.
