I really like this Archie Miller

[Bulldogg31]

I'm sure there's no shot, and I've been told numerous times there's no shot, but I sure would love to see that guy alongside Mullen leading one of our big sports. He looks like he'd be a great fit.

We always have a shot if we pay $$. We will need to pay at least 2 million to get a good coach, IMO.

No shot imo. His brother is already known as being one of the best coaches in college basketball. The millers are the harbaughs of college basketball. Archie's next stop will be a much better job than ours. I have zero problem trying though...

He only made 335k last year.
Money talks, but he won't be around when we start looking.

I saw the same number but was told by a Dayton alum that his total package is more like $1.5M. No idea how they make that work, but there you go.

Coaches with options usually pick the best one and let their agents handle the rest.

if you didn't learn during the last search that MSU isn't the best option for your who's who list, then perhaps you'll learn during the next one.

Which is why we will have to overpay...

By the time of the next search, we'll have almost double the annual revenue we had for the first one, and a basketball alumni base that is success starved and willing to pay to really go out and get the next guy imo...

It does kinda suck that we didn't develop a coaching tree under Stansbury really at all... Seems the debatable hc options with ties to us almost all go back to Williams and are thus less than ideal from an age standpoint.

Yes, I'm jealous of Michael White and the guy at Western Kentucky for Ole Miss.

The good thing is -- among what I consider the 8-10 best mid major resumes that we could potentially hire, Archie Miller is practically the only one still dancing. So it keeps those guys out of the spotlight at least a little bit...
