It's Friday, what are today's rumor for the next UofA coach?
Hansen writes today it could be Sean Miller and he suggests Miller would be smart to hire Josh Pastner as his main assistant. I actually like that idea. Josh could get some recruits in this year and down the road if Miller left to go to Pitt, Josh could replace him. Also, Josh is close to Nic Wise and there would be a chance he could persuade him to come back for his senior year.

The other rumor I have heard is Capel could be had. I would like to see that but I don't think that will happen.

Miller or Capel would be just fine with me. I'll believe when they are signed, however.

The rumor is Livengood F'ed up this search real bad.
Not to many people are very happy around the program that he actually went hard after Floyd and not even near that hard after Capel and Few.
He has a huge opportunity to make up for his mental retardation during this search and if he fails to secure a good coach it is nobodys fault but his at this point.
The boosters arent happy.

Just kidding.

Simple Jim offers Sean Miller a contract. Gambo and Ash report it's a done deal (a la Pitino, Capel, Few, Floyd). Miller uses contract to leverage himself into better deal at Xavier. Simple Jim goes back to the drawing board.
Wash, rinse, repeat until we get to Randy Bennett or Lon Kruger.

Baiscally. And because of this he should be fired imo. He's turning a top 10 job (regardless of what ASU trolls think) into a mockery at the moment.

One of the rumors on BRO is Pastner will be offered the coaching job now.
As I said last week Memphis fans insisted there was a clause in his deal that prevents him from going back to Arizona for a set time but apparently that's not true if he's even rumored to be up for the UA job.
Also apparently one UA board is reporting Floyd didn't turn UA down, someone at UA rejected Floyd over concerns about probations later.

This article has some interesting info on Miller. Says he makes around $1 million annually which runs through 2018 and includes a $2 million buyout clause.

In the great tradition of hiring former ASU broadcasters, I heard Darron Sutton was interviewing in Tucson. PLEASE TAKE SUTTON!!! I can't stand another season of him in the booth.

Miller would be a very good hire, no spin needed from anyone who follows basketball.
They key would be bringing in someone with west coast recruiting ties for his staff if he is hired. Reggie Geary is the obvious name. I cant see Paster coming to UA as an assistant after the deal he has with Cal and UK.
