MJAlltheWay24 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Travis Steele will no longer be the Xavier Coach, per Rick Broering. They are starting a National Head Coach search immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJAlltheWay24 Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 The immediate Twitter reaction seems to be calling for Sean Miller or Chris Mack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theguru Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Odd timing with at least one game left. Has this been confirmed by Xavier yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJAlltheWay24 Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 I guess with teams like Louisville getting ready to lock in their new coach, Xavier didn't feel like they could afford to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9068 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Wonder why they waited until after they played in the NIT or why they even accepted a bid if they were going to do it? So I guess they figure they are going to lose the next round. Kind of sad for the current players. If you recall, John Brannen stepped in for Anthony Grant at Alabama and got them to NIT finals. Good luck Muskies!! I bet they have someone they want and are moving to insure that happens quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't both of these guys been implicated in NCAA as well as possible FBI investigations? I guess none of that carries forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wouldn’t hire either of them. You just can’t go back again, as great as the first time around was for both of them. It is really hard to do it a second time with the same team IMO. I definitely would call Rick Pitino just to see. I also would call right up the road to Dayton and see if they could steal their coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been in a Power conference in the SEC. Maybe he's found a comfort level he enjoys....but you never know. Trust me if Slick Rick is interested his agent has already inquired and the wheels are turning. He's an East Coast guy. Maybe he likes Iona.....but he's always looking for a bigger spotlight. It's about him not Xavier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Rick Broering usually has the XU inside info and he is saying Sean Miller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So apparently his problems at Arizona are no harm no foul. I guess with NIL he can really get some players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally speaking, Miller's problems at Arizona sound like things that are able to be achieved "legally" now so nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick definitely scooped everyone on X and Steele parting ways so he is certainly someone I would listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was mentioned for the Maryland job and said he wasn't interested. But we all know you really can't take coaches at their word anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
