The Wes Miller Thread

[Josh Rexhausen]

Final Torvik ranks for Wes Miller years.

2022: 96
2023: 47
2024: 45
2025: 44
2026: 32

Sure it's improvement, but a clear plateau.

If WM had won big at UC he would be in Chapel Hill right now as the returning hero.

Wes Miller has agreed to a 5-year deal with Charlotte

(Best of luck!)

I'm not so sure he'll ever get a chance to coach in another major conference again.

Looks funny to see him in green

[BearKatz]

Any idea of the terms $$ of the contract?

yes he had to have won big here. NC would be rolling out the red carpet and instead on UNC-Chapel Hill it is UNC- Charlotte.

[BearKatz]

I can see Rodriguez and possibly Dzellat following Wes to Charlotte.

Will be interesting to see his trajectory.

Archie Miller went to IU after making four straight tourneys at Dayton. He never made the tourney in 4 years at IU (granted, they were on the verge of slipping into the dance in 2020--his third season--but it got canceled). He went to Rhode Island and has gone 9-22, 12-20, 18-13 and 16-16. Clearly, he's got no shot as a head coach to jump back in with the big boys.

I'm sure there are stories of guys like Wes who didn't cut it at a high major program, then clawed their way back. Should be interesting where Travis Steele's career takes him too.

Great landing spot for him. His "ain't nobody as pissed off as me" tone will work well for him there. I wish him well.

If WM had won big at UC he would be in Chapel Hill right now as the returning hero.

But at least a winning tradition would be re-established.

[Oldtimer_UC_fan]

So they can sit the bench there?

I would take that, but sadly we are waiting for the next Huggs.
