Why is everybody so obsessed with Tim Miles?

I don't know. Just really hope Hartwell isn't thinking the same thing. Miles is the definition of a milquetoast retread.

I am hearing that Tim Miles is one of the leading candidates. Didn't get much more than that though.
Yuck.
It gets worse. My source says Peterson was not interested in the job and is likely following Smith to Utah.
Some people are just not ready, or they like the job security without all the head coach pressure.
If Peterson is unsure of whether or not he wants a head coaching job then we should remove him from the list. I want someone confident.

It's definitely not a matter of confidence.

It’s my understanding that Peterson is in the candidate pool. Not saying he will get it but there is still some level of interest on both sides.

Coach Peterson is no longer in the candidate pool.

Interesting. I am sure you have told us all you can, but seems curious. There must be more to the story.

So, what gives? In one of the interviews JH said he was open to assistants, but none indicated they were interested.

I don't expect you to give out specific info, but do you think it will be a quick hire or do you think we'll be waiting for a while? I believe it was over two weeks from when Duryea was fired to when Smith was hired in 2018. Is that what we should expect or will it happen quicker this time?

I think two weeks is fair. Perhaps quicker. Hiring for hoops isn't as complex as hiring for football.

Of course their not. They think they're only good enough to take our head coach but not the assistants that helped him achieve his success.

Here are my top 4 candidates.
1. Josh Paternik (I don't think he will come, but I can hope)
2. Stan Johnson
3. Tim Miles
4. I had Peterson here, but it appears that is not going to happen so I will put Russ Turner or Chris Burgess.

Well John said it will be pretty quiet as they will do the hiring internally and doubt there will be any mention of who we are looking at until the end.

Curious as to why not. In 12 seasons at Ole Miss he won 20 or more 9 times. He only won 51% of his conference games, but the SEC has some good teams.

Intermeddler · Post by **Intermeddler** » March 29th, 2021, 10:05 pm

I posted awhile ago it was unlikely to be Peterson because he was always lukewarm on succeeding Craig.

Wonder what the details are but I’m not at all surprised he’s not sticking around. I was also told Miles was high on the list but that may no longer be true.

I’d be surprised if it’s the Santa Barbara guy. Apparently the he might be heavily implicated in the Arizona ncaa issues and he might be a bit toxic for awhile.
