Lets go!!!
Yes
Wowza. Great news. Let the fun begin...
I feel bad now! Bring him back.
Oh Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Let's pack the house Sunday.
I have been going to games since 1982. For the first time as a fan I am EXCITED to be looking for a new coach instead of reacting to one leaving.
Thank God!!!!!!!
F yes!!!!! Thank gawd! So glad to hear this admin cares! Emails helped im sure :)
I'm actually shocked. Happy as can be, but shocked.
Let's go!!
An early start to our St. Patrick's Day celebrating!
Step 1: DONE
Step 2: TBD
Step 2: MILLER TIME PLEASEEEEEEEQuote:

mixed emotions but the speed of this means something was up long before.. Good luck and God help Xavier..
Yeah, but I heard the same story about Brady.[emoji16]

I am totally shocked by………the timing.
Best news I’ve heard all day
So who is the coach Sunday? Are they letting the fans coach? Def need to pack the house and chant we want MILLER !! We want Miller
Would imagine Jonas will coach the game. Feel bad for Travis. Hope we can hang on to the recruits. Would hate to see them tear it up at a place like North Carolina, which had offered Craft.
LMAO! Yes. I can't wait to watch the game Sunday! Hope is back.Quote:

Well, I think we can all take back our previous comments about the administration not having the guts to make a move. Even if this does not pan out, they at least earned my respect.
Good luck to Travis. Everyone falls on their ass at some point in their life. I hope he learns from this and experience and I wish him success, so long as his interests do not conflict with mine.
#MillerTime
It is time to pound the pavement and hope Miller answers the call.
We don't all want Miller or any other specific person. Do not chant that and let the powers to be do their job, and pray for them.Quote:

Ok, I'm over it now.
Thoughts and Next Steps
1. Why today? Weird timing that we didnt cut him before the NIT Game, but Didnt wait until the NIT was over.
2. Did these events impact the decision: lack of fans at the NIT game? Bag Man? Ben Stanley demonstration?
3. Overall timing again. One of the KEY things here would be to keep the recruits. So, fire and hire very quickly before they can get talked out of de-committing. I'm wondering if we have a candidate in mind already? Would we wait until the NCAA is over if we wanted to hire a coach still playing, or possibly a key assistant? Seems risky to have such a potentially long window where the roster could get picked apart...
4. Miller time???
Fuck that shit. We let them “do their job” last time and got screwed. We need a PROVEN coach who wants to be at X till they are done coaching.Quote:

Maybe it would be better from an Xs and Os standpoint - maybe theoretically they would be most successful - but they're not hiring those guys. They're just not. Anyone that thinks so is being just a touch head-in-the-sandish.
Bag man statue needed asap!!!!
Seriously, bag man was funny as hell. If you are bag man, please come forward and take a bow.
I really hope it's Miller. I didn't think they'd fire him, so I guess Miller isn't out of the question.
I won 4 CYO City Championships in Indy, I'll do it, if you guys promise not to boo me.Quote:

Miller does not have a show cause and never will. The ncaa levied a level 1 charge at him for failing to control the assistants. No chance anything more serious comes of it.Quote:

If they knew they were making a change - and they did - then they don't want to wait 10 days while we keep playing in the NIT, only to fire Travis then having missed on the top outside candidates.Quote:

His comments about not seeking advice and don’t care about your opinions didn’t sit well with fans who were already tired of the same old same old from this program. Xavier Basketball is bigger than one coach or one player.Quote:

While we may lose most if not all the recruits, we have to rebuild this program which starts with the coach. The transfer portal will help fill the gaps until the new coach has time to get his recruiting class in. Much needed change and hopefully a return to where this program belongs.
Maybe the bag man was Miller.Quote:

You obviously can make no guarantees what will happen in the future so almost all of your post is take-XUBANDGRAD's-word-for-it. Whether we know or not whether there is fire to it, there is plenty of smoke around both of them, and that smoke will prevent them from being hired.Quote:
