Only hours after rejecting the advances of Arizona athletic director Jim Livengood, Xavier's Sean Miller has decided to accept the coaching job that no one really wanted.
I hope Miller has Jerry Kill's hard-hat and lunch pail because there will be a major rebuilding process going on in Tuscon, Ariz. Jordan Hill -- gone. Chase Buddinger -- gone. Nic Wise -- gone. That's three-fifths of a Sweet 16 team that definitely underperformed under interim Russ Pennell in the schools most turbulent year.
On the other hand, Arizona's got some nice scenery (on and off campus) and apparently $18 million to throw around at a head coach. Unfortunately, Miller isn't the big name 'Zona's boosters were begging for, so methinks the former Muskateers head coach will be on a short leash.
