By "sweet", you of course mean "I can't tell you how happy I am that Coach Miller isn't going to Louisville and can stay here to coach our men's team!", right?

Well, yeah, if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Tom Jurich, the AD at Louisville, is the man. He anticipates openings, targets the coaches he wants well before hand and strikes fast. This was done in under a week and he hired his new football coach, Steve Kragthorpe, in 3 days. The new guy can get a jump on hiring a staff and recruiting before other schools even get out of the gate.

No expensive firms, no bureaucratic "search committies" to bog the process down, just decisive action from an AD who did his homework well before the due date.

Several sources feel that a deal between Gail G-something (Duke) and Texas is imminent, which would shoot the Duke job right to the top of the heap. I have no idea if Duke would consider approaching Miller about that opening should Gail G-Something leave. That could turn into an interesting situation.

Don't forget......Geno was offered the Florida job and there is strong talk that he's possibly open to accepting it. That would open up the UConn job.

good god....Geno, Billy Donovan, and Urban Meyer potentially on the same campus. They would need to double the size of the athletic offices just to house those huge friggin egos.

Not to mention the hair care products....

Although Donovan has taken to more of a "clipper #2 look" than his former "gallon of gel car salesman look" of late.

Eariler in the thread someone said that Curt was going to stay here to coach the men!? What you might not understand about basketball is that when men play, they don't give a damn what their coaches have to say i.e. Steven Wright(who is a great player, don't get me wrong), Scott Vandermeer, Ron Lewis and Floyd(wish he woulda played this year!). Dakich dealt with quite the egos...but back to Miller...I do not think that success coaching women can transfer to the men's game...they are completely different games and egos are completely different. Women, and I say this from a psychiological standpoint, are the more team-oriented gender while men are more likely to have a "me-first" attitude. I guess this is just a really long way to say that there is NO WAY IN HELL Curt Miller will be the men's basketball coach at Bowling Green.

VDub...

I think you came in to the middle of a joke. Miller as men's coach has been brought up as a hypothetical a few times, and shot down just as quickly. But it's always fun to get J4H's thoughts on the matter.

I think I still lose IQ points every time it's mentioned, even if it was just a joke by a douchebag.

Miller's last name is too ordinary and lacks the required consonants to coach a Duke basketball team.

Miller isn't going to Washington (a job that his name kept popping up for) either. According to the Seattle PI, they are focusing on 5 coaches but primarily on Dawn Staley. I didn't think he'd be remotely interested, but I didn't think that UW would give up without at least trying.

I'm now completely on board with J4H. Curt isn't going anywhere.

If they hire Dawn Staley, I can see a new thread appearing entitled "Miller to Temple"
