Is there real reason to believe Miller is all that much better than Barnes or Smart? Neither of those guys was exactly a slouch, either.

I’m talking about their last two coaches.

So far Rodney Terry has a better winning percentage than Miller…

Remember Miller had to play in last year and was made to look a lot better than he was by Tramon March…

And then they got as far as we did. :slightly_smiling_face:

You can think all you want… FACT is Terry has a better winning percentage than Miller has at Texas.

Yes - but only if you count the partial season when he took over for Beard. If you don’t count the games he was coaching someone else’s team then Miller has the better winning percentage

He still had to coach that team…

We all know Terry isn’t as good as Miller as a coach… but their winning percentages at Texas don’t represent that…

Most overrated of all of them is Shaka Smart imo… and he got 6 seasons…

I do not know how good or bad the coaches are, but do not underestimate the entitled culture that being a player at Texas has on a player’s psyche, made worse by throwing NIL $$$ their way.

Some players are looking for a payday and lose that drive and fire to get better.

UT finished 10th place in the SEC this year. If Sampson did that then this board would have had a meltdown. And yea they had a little run in the NCAA Tournament because our former Houston Cougar who should have stayed and got drafted years ago carried them in a few games against mediocre teams

I think a 3rd year guy with real minutes in the Sampson defensive system has a bigger advantage/fit for our team than most other players we could pick up, even though they may be objectively worse on paper

Do you recall our record in Sampson’s first year here?

Use your head and realize where Sampson started at Houston a decade ago and where the coach at UT starts from. Money has never been their problem. Sampson is still asking for money after everything he’s done

They made the S16 in their coach’s first year. I’m pretty sure our fans wouldn’t have complained about that.

Miller has coached one season, lmao, IDGAF what the winning percentage is after one year. Miller is a better coach.

Well us winning the natty and UT going winless for the year would be better, in my opinion.

Our fans would not be happy going 9-9 in the SEC. Glad their fans can be happy with how their season ended. Houston is one of a few programs where when your NCAA run ends in the Sweet 16 it can leave a bitter taste in your mouth. But their expectations are not our expectations, I get that

this place would call for kellen to be fired if he lost 14 games in his debut season even if he salvaged it with keeping the S16 streak alive :sob:
