Miller Bros could be the college equivalent of the NFL’s Harbaugh Bros…
stay tuned and find out next weekend…
… and here’s my “nickel’s” worth…
First… I believe everything said so far about all our recent Coaches and the Miller Bros is 90-95% on the money…
That said…
If I was writing Million Dollar Checks for Basketball Coaches…
I would want one who had successfully navigated the UPs and the DOWNs of Coaching… I would want a Coach who had proven he could handle Adversity on the court, off the court, with his school’s lunatic fringe…
Archie’s success, in his short career, speaks very well of his future…
but let’s say he makes a move elsewhere — and he will because when this season is over — he’s done everything he can do at Dayton —
…and after a couple of seasons, it’s clear that things aren’t working out the way he intended… maybe the school oversold the Job… ya’ll know that’s happened on occasion… maybe the AD who hired him retired and the new AD had ‘different ideas’… that kinda of thing…
That “Archie” will be ten times better Coach than the one you’ll see courtside tomorrow night… And, if the “bond to his Alma Mater” is as true and as solid as we all think it is… Archie will come home.
That’s the “Archie” I would want to hire.
Besides… is this not what a whole lot of Coaching is about these days… teaching ‘kids’ how to handle adversity… both on the court and off ??
As far as Archie, or anyone, not “being available” when the next Wolfpack coaching vacancy occurs…. if Uncle Roy can leave Kansas and come back to Chapel Hill… then there’s no such thing as “not being available”… it’s simply just a matter of “the right man or woman saying the right thing on the right day..”.
In the meantime… I will be both pleased and satisfied to watch GOTT & Company grow and improve as Coaches as they continue to rebuild our basketball program to the levels of excellence we all rightfully expect.
