Miller accepts Arizona job

It's now official. Arizona now has a coach.

Hallelujah.

My head is spinning

ESPN is reporting that after rejecting the Arizona job, Sean Miller turned around and changed his mind. We have a coach, apparently.

I'm still very disappointed that the search took this long.

I'm speechless

ESPN:

John Calipari decided to leave. Sean Miller reportedly decided to stay.

Xavier's Miller met with Arizona athletic director Jim Livengood earlier Sunday about the Wildcats' open head coaching job but rejected the school's offer later that night, according to multiple media reports.

Xavier AD Mike Bobinski told ESPN.com's Andy Katz that he expected to speak with Miller late Sunday or early Monday. He wrote in a text message: "Nothing firm at this moment, but I remain very optimistic that Sean Miller will continue as our head basketball coach at Xavier."


I'm seriously running out of ways to describe my frustration.

Please God let it be true

ESPN:

Xavier coach Sean Miller was expected to meet Arizona athletic director Jim Livengood in Albuquerque, N.M., on Sunday to discuss the Wildcats' opening, according to a source.

However, Xavier athletic director Mike Bobinski told the Cincinnati Enquirer on Sunday that the Musketeers were prepared to make a counteroffer -- if necessary.

A source said Miller was scheduled to board a private plane Sunday morning en route to Albuquerque, where he was expected to meet with Livengood about the Wildcats' opening.


Miller would definitely be a good fit for the program. I hope we can grab him because we're running out of options. Pitino, Calipari, Dixon and Few are all out of the question. If we can't get Miller, we could turn to Reggie Theus or Josh Pastner, but our options are severely limited. I hope this turns out well.
