Robbins plan is to swap Miller for Lloyd! Miller and Few are buds! Makes perfect sense in Robbins' warped mind. Maybe it's a training program for Miller who will then return in a few years when he's learned as much about basketball as Robbins does. FML

I'm not saying I'm smart or knowledgeable, but I do follow college basketball.

When Lloyd was mentioned as a possible replacement, my first response was "who the f*** is Lloyd?" Never heard of him before.

I'm neither smart nor knowledgeable about college basketball and all I know is at this point humorous sarcasm is the only way to intellectually survive this shitshow.

Is there anyone other than that one Twitter account suggesting Lloyd is actually an option?

My wife and I booed him. Sadly, we were in the minority.

I'm not mad at you, but if Robbins would actually do something in a reasonable fashion I could already be chill or crying in the shower.

It’s not like he could fire Miller tomorrow and announce this guy the next day. They have to post the job and have it up for two weeks. If they were going to do this doesn’t it make more sense they would have fired him a couple of weeks ago?

I think head coach is exempt from this policy.

I looked and didn't see anybody.

It's bad enough ESPN ruined Miller's name in the eyes of the public, but the way Robbins is treating Miller is just as disrespectful.

Miller's coaching ability doesn't even matter that much to me at this point. I just wish the man was treated with the respect and decency he deserves.

It’s weird after supporting Miller for years, why treat him like this now?
Just weird.

The story looks so obvious here. Homer Drew lives in Arizona. Bryce Drew coaches in Arizona. Larry Drew played against the Suns here in Arizona.

Scott Drew will be announced 3 days after Baylor's championship parade. He has done all he can do at a small Christian school in BF Texas. He's ready to take his talents to the Conference of Champions. Book it!

Please tell me one of you did this.

Okay, Miller’s done. Choo has weighed in.

Oh well. Still think it’s asinine to fire him, and that we’re going to regret it down the road.

Fucking lovely.

So Ass-hat Bob is pulling the trigger? This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever witnessed as a fan...and I root for the New York Jets...I guess we might make the tourney in another 4 years...what in the actual fuckety fuck is going on?

This administration is very shitty. Anyone know when this will become official so we can strike at Robbins house?

Best part:
As president, forced through the hiring of Kevin Sumlin even though he had background check issues. After Sumlin was fired for bad performance, forced through the hiring of his friend, Jedd Fisch.

Its all about the current roster to me. The first time, in a long time, we will have almost an entire roster back (Akinjo will come back). Last night we were given very good odds by Vegas to win the 2022 Title and are ranked in the Top 11 of most early top 25s. Why blow that up now? The current roster is bolting if/when Lloyd is made the HC.

Because our athletic program is a toybox for the president and his stooge.

If Robbins was intending to fire Miller, why didn’t he just do it when he self sanctioned us?

I could at least understand that

I'd venture to guess Miller might be gone on his own accord. Probably sick of waiting for Robbins to get his head out of his ass. Robbins probably wants Miller out, but doesn't have the stones to do it the right way. Fuck Robbins!

I hope this entire post is completely full of shit.

Miller's not leaving on his own now. A successful '21 season and then I could see him giving Robbins and Heeke a big FU

I imagine Cole and Jeannie Davis is why or at least that's what I think Choo said.

Sorry, but who the hell are Cole and Jeannie Davis? I must've missed this somewhere along the way.

When has a P5 school been successful hiring an assistant coach with no head coaching experience to be their coach? Asking for a friend. I remember a lot that haven't but cant think of one that has.

Biggest donors of the school and are responsible for a large portion of the athletic department funding. Names are on the side of the new indoor facility because they donated around half the money to build it

Major boosters. Another facet of this idiocy would be pissing off major athletic donors in a time our budget is already in tough times.

Already mentioned above, but here is a telling comment:

https://tucson.com/sports/arizonawildca ... fe330.html

“In the darkest of times over the last two years, Cole and Jeannie Davis have never left my side,” Miller said. “They have never flinched. I don’t know where I’d be or my family would be without Cole and Jeannie.”

This whole Floyd thing is a 8 steps backwards approach...

First, name one advantage for recruiting...
Second, Arizona is NOT Gonzaga and as much as I love Mark Few and what he's done lets not forget how long it took HIM to do it, and then also notice that against serious conferences his teams don't look invincible...Floyd would be about 2 steps BELOW that.

Almost none of us knew who he was, if anyone here thinks thats a good hire for a school like UofA you've allowed the media to reframe who you think we are...

Miller is an exceptional coach...Robbins is an exceptional idiot.

Besides it has been LESS THAN A MONTH AGO that Robbins said "Coach Miller is our coach. We’re working with him about remaining our coach..."

That was on March 8th, someone tell me what changed in the last 30 days.

I think we are all over-reacting to silence.

I had no clue. And I follow college basketball almost religiously. Although I guess not religiously enough to know every obscure assistant on every mid-major team.

Firing Miller would make me stop following Arizona basketball altogether. So I guess I'll never get to know whoever this guy is.

What's crazy is that I know people who feel the exact opposite: they won't continue following AZ hoops unless we fire Miller.

Yeah well, I think those people are morons.

I also KNOW that if Miller is retained and leads us to regular season and tourney success, they'll be right back on the bandwagon like they never left.

I agree with Chicat. The anti-miller crowd are very dumb. Miller can build a competitive team year and year out, which is tough today. I mean look at this past year. He pulled this recruiting class out of his ass last minute and this class was stellar. Tubelis, Kerr, Mathurin, and the list goes on. Gotta keep Miller. You don't fire coaches with his pedegree and his success

The floor with Miller is an nit level team and the norm is a competitive top 25 team that at least threatens conference championships and sweet 16s. You don't fire that for whatever random unknown you may hire which could end up ruining the program forever

Anybody know when Robbin's contract is up? I'd love to voice my opinions on him to the ABOR and whoever else can make sure he doesn't get to stick around

Man...if Miller is actually fired, or just left without an extension as the season begins, the fallout is going to be such, a, shitshow.

Thank you sir

Robbins will get a new contract because he led UA through the pandemic without falling flat on his face. Don’t get your hopes up there. If he leaves, it’s of his own accord for a better job.
