Shaka Smart...zero hc experience...Will Wade with 2 mediocre years at Chattanooga, he did not make the nit or ncaat in either year at Chattanooga.
What was it about any of those guys that screamed successful head coaching material?

So where are Miller's assistants now? They did a good job supporting Archie---apparently because Miller is the only one outside of the AD who really knew. All of them had a really good story to present. No school bought it.
Maybe your are saying we should have hired one of Xavier's assistants. That would have gone over big. We had some very high character people supporting Miller. They just weren't hc material and our AD knew it.
