Why the hell would Minnesota want Miles when they have Pitino Jr?

Pitino just lost by 27 to the worst team in the conference. And he's had a lot of issues off the court in the last few years. If he doesn't win an NCAA Tournament game this year, I don't think he will keep his job.

Miles is well-liked in the state from his time at SW Minnesota State.

Yea the Gofers looked terrible but that can happen on the road in this league but firing Pitino Jr and hiring Timmy is laughable speciality when Miles hasn’t accomplished nothing at Nebraska..

I like his teams over the next 3 years a hell of a lot better than ours. Cabinet is bare after this year, Tom Allen is the only returning starter, Roby is NBA bound. It's why I think regardless of whether we make the tourney or not Miles will be bolting for a different gig after this year. Mac's record in his time at CU is 197-102 with a 52% winning percentage in the Big East. Miles is 110-102 with a 42% winning percentage in B1G. Miles is not in the same league as Mac coaching wise and I root against CU every game they play.
I would be shocked if Roby were NBA bound after this year. My guess on the starting lineup next year:
Thomas Allen
Dachon Burke
Jervay Green
Isaiah Roby
Brady Heiman

Key players off the bench: Mika Adams-Woods, Amir Harris, Karrington Davis, Nana Akenton, Akol Arop.

If Burke and Green are as advertised, I could see this team being pretty good. I could also see Nana starting some. Rebounding might be even worse next year though.

I tend to agree with this list. Would be nice to add a JUCO or grad transfer big, but they are hard to come by. And if Thor likes playing for the University of Nebraska, he needs to be Mav or a Loper next year. No problem taking a late flyer on a guy like that, but roster spots are too valuable to keep bringing them back if they are not Power 5-caliber players.
