Miller's departure reminds me a lot of Brian Kelly's departure from Notre Dame. Full disclosure: I am a lifelong Notre Dame football fan so that is why I am drawing the comparison. Obviously, Notre Dame has an absurd amount of resources and Xavier does not, but the reasoning behind the departures is very similar. Confidence in the administration, vision, and best opportunity to win national championships. Sure, Sean will get some stellar players at Texas, but the SEC is a juggernaut. Brian Kelly had to learn the hard lesson, and Sean will as well. They are both solid coaches, but will never win a national championships because they are not elite. Jay Wright and Nick Saban are elite coaches in my opinion. Notre Dame ended up with a better coach in Marcus Freeman, and I believe Xavier will end up with a better coach in the end as well.
