Head coach speculation for 2022-23

[theblueram]

The clip against Richmond was one of the greatest plays I've seen in person.

[NYGFan_Section208]

Whoever the new head coach is let's get back to these exciting times

Complicated legacy that Fatts left here, but this is potentially the greatest individual play in URI history.

Very complicated legacy. What's not complicated for me is that "Don't do it to 'im like that, Fatts!" will go down as one of all time tournament favorite moments... For that line and also because I had the fortune to be there and see it live.

President Parlange was clear about the volleyball team sharing the practice facility. Check it out

Archie Miller would qualify as aiming high in my opinion. My fear is that he will be the target of several schools.

Archie Miller would qualify as aiming high in my opinion.

Everyone’s. You’d have to search long and far to find someone who wouldn’t be excited about it. Even the Pitino Truthers seems to be embracing it as potential hone run.

We better get Archie now after all this speculation

This will be like April Fools of 99 if this falls through it feels like

[steveystuds06]

Iggy I told ya we were at least trying to make a splash!!

[MTK4L]

This is not good for my health. I've watched this thread more the the basketball team this season....

[bigappleram]

It’s hard to believe anything you hear in these situations bc so much goes down in private and via intermediaries. But the 1 thing I heard consistently from multiple sources is we were aiming high and not targeting a young buck. Iggy heard the opposite just how these things go. Until it’s official and over it’s never over.

[giovanni]

I no longer have any legitimate sources but I did hear they were at least trying to aim high. Thanks to blueman , first of all, and also Rambone, ECR, Brady and others for keeping their head high and aiming high.. I have since 1980s and got rid of killed by some for trying to shoot for the stars. All you guys are great let's make it happen

[RF1]

URI would really have to promise Archie serious financial commitments beyond just a high compensation package for him. Start with higher assistant salary pool, more charter flights, quicker movement on dedicated practice facility, bigger recruiting budget, etc....

Miller's buyout from Indiana last year was some $10.35M. He is pretty much personally set money wise. Financial commitments to the program might be more important to him than other candidates.

[Matunuck]

24-7 Sports reporting that Archie is a serious contender for the URI job.

The Spun, Sports Illustrated, said Archie is on the verge of signing a new head coaching contract.

[hrstrat57]

If our boosters who have pushed for Pitino ( not Petino cmon now) slide their dollars over to helping the university hire Miller it can happen. URI IMHO is a true sleeping giant capable of replicating what was done here in the 40’s. If Thorr, Parlange and our wealthy boosters believe a big investment in Miller can get it done - let’s go.

It’s time to win.

Go Rhody

[rambone 78]

Obviously the boosters are making this possible.

Without them none of this could happen.

This is what it takes to make URI a top A10 program for years to come.

I agree that improvements to the program are probably more important to Archie than just his salary.

[ATPTourFan]

Because he’s not in play for us. This is not my list. Miller does not make sense for many reasons. He is currently not a candidate.

What the heck, man!?

I like Archie Miller as a coach. Hope he comes to URI. But for all the folks out there who complained about URI not being able to shoot straight (from deep or the FT line) for the last few years and it was David Cox's fault for recruiting those guys and not focusing on shooting, please keep the following in mind regarding Archie at IU:

I stand by my sources. You can put whatever stars you want about my previous posts. I’m just giving you what I heard. I’m a big URI fan. Let’s see what happens.

Dude I could care less about free-throw shooting right now. Let's see if we can make a home run hire first and then we can dissect Archie as a coach...

He would be a massive get for this program...

Let's go!!! Get Archiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You might be right, you might be wrong (or more specifically your source is right or wrong). We get a ton of folks that randomly come on here and there with crazy stuff that are obvious trolls, So you coming on here to discount respected journalists with your source saying it isn't in the works may lead some, including me, to be skeptical. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and take you at your word that you are a Rhody fan - that said, post more regardless of Miller is the next coach or not.

Having said that - if it's Miller would you be happy with that? Does your source have another name you can name or not and would this base be happy with that hire?

[Rhody15]

If Archie does become head coach, you probably shouldn’t keep these sources anymore.

[ALG33]

I think we would all be crazy if we don’t think getting Miller would be a great get. This was probably the least likable group of basketball players we’ve put on the court in my time as a fan and supporter. It was unbearable!!! So yes I would be extremely happy. I don’t need to be right I was just sharing what I had heard.

[reef]

Here is the list in no particular order from a reliable source.

Chris MacK
Pat Skerry
Rick Petino
Jarred Grasso
Dennis Gates
Bobby Hurley
Bashir Mason
Rob Jones
Kamani Young
Shaheen Halloway

I know I’m a first time poster. Long time reader. I figure I would shed some light on who in play currently. I’m sure someone could enter the sweepstakes but this is the current list. I have been season ticket holder for 25 years. Just trying to help in the speculation

Should have put Archie on the list

[NYGFan_Section208]

Until there's a press conference, seems anything is possible. Like...maybe we "end up with" Pitino because we couldn't make it work with any of the other sploshers.

[theblueram]

Grasso down 14 vs Wright State. Still on the list?

[McRam]

Concerning today’s Archie leaks,

Any ideas on the source of the leak- Thorr or the Archie camp?

[PeterRamTime]

Grasso down 14 vs Wright State. Still on the list?

They playing schoolyard ball. If they ain't hitting shots they're toast.

The'yre also really small. Wright State has bigger better athletes than what Bryant sees in the northeast conference. They all up in their grill.

Still can't believe people wanted Grasso. Mind boggling. Welcome to the NCAAT Bryant.

I would think Rothstein would get his intel from Thorr

Grasso was not at the top of anyone's list on here. I still think he deserves a shot at a better program. Getting Bryant to the NCAA tournament is a big accomplishment.

Balldrag.

[ALG33]

Come on guys there is no way Thorr leaks that. That has to come from the Miller camp. Only way that comes from the Thorr camp is if it’s a done deal. URI would never let that out prematurely. And if it’s a done deal we’re all happy.

[rambone 78]

He's right about that. Thorr doesn't do leaks.

[McRam]

What would the reason be that Archie leaks it? I

After reading that, I'm convinced writers absolutely lurk on message boards. The paragraph talking about URI stepping up its support for the entire program read like Thamel literally hit copy/paste from Blue Man's initial post when he started the conspiracy thread. Thamel should throw in a hat tip to BM at the end of his article for the material.

I think the writers write what their sources tell them to write.

Or they do their job and research??? Talk to anyone and they will tell you the same thing. Was speaking to someone yesterday who had coached at URI and they mentioned how the job certainly has its perks (Great people, great location, administration etc etc) but it is missing the "bells and whistles" that other programs have. Literally the same thing we've been hearing for year from anyone close to the program. So for someone like Thamel, it probably just took one phone call to find out that information.
