Archie Miller an option?

[Dish]

Goodman's tweets on Miller lead me to believe MU has genuine interest in Miller. Like him or not, and probably only because of our former coach, but Goodman seems to have insight on MU moreso than others.

First off, congrats on using the same language as every 13 year old girl in America.

Wow. Just wow.

Second, Ben Howland is a fine hire - if he truly wants the job. One tweet from Andy Katz, doesn't make it a fact.

Miller is 10 years younger than his brother, Sean. When Sean was 35, he hadn't just finished his first year at Xavier, going 17-12.

Not sure where the Dayton hate comes from, but the guy has done a great job at a school that most of you said was in no way worthy of being a member of the new Big East.

Yes, most 13 year old American girls speak English.

And where'd the comment about Dayton hate come from?  I have been supportive of Dayton to the BE all along.  Go back and look.  But when you have two possible options, go for the best one available.

There was a huge faction of people last year against Dayton joining the Big East.  I was and still am for it.

I would take Howland over Miller, but Miller could be a solid hire.  Would take Miller over Wardle at this point.

Totally agree on Miller over Wardle.

But I'd still inquire about Howland, Smart and Marshall before looking to Miller.  I don't think Miller is a bad option, but there are several proven candidates that have been mentioned as possibly having interest.  Check them out first.  Miller will still be there if the others aren't interested.

True.  Plenty of "Miller-type" coaches out there.  Go for broke first.

It's kinda funny how many of us didn't want Dayton in the BE and now they're Sweet 16ing it...

It's also their first in 30 years

Very happy for them.  Great to see anyone knock off cuse, even better when its a small (by comparison) catholic school.  Definitely pulling for them.

Still don't, look at them acting like a mid major. They're flooding the streets and carrying the president through the streets.

Dayton is the essence of mid-major and they like it.

And here's a bucket of cold water on those Archie boners...

I think Miller is very much in play. Great coaching pedigree. Very well thought of in coaching circles.

Smart is my dream choice. But I wouldn't be disappointed with the Miller hire. Could end up being a home run.

The Bullseye guys are very good (if occasionally overly sanctimonious) at covering Illinois HS hoops. Not sure how plugged they are into NCAA coaching info, especially outside Chicago.

They're plugged, I would listen when they tweet.
