I hear ya. My heart wants it to be a good idea, but my head sees a different picture.
You’re right. Bringing him on as an asst is different than handing the HC keys. But when comparing to Burgess, Chris has gone through the collegiate coaching system: Grad assistant, assistant at small school, moving up to P5 assistant jobs.
All of that requires recruiting and learning how the college game runs outside the lines. That’s as important as knowing how to teach a kid how to box out or bust a full-court press.
Honestly, I think bringing Miller on as an assistant would be risky and possibly stupid — particularly on Smith’s staff. Smith has no history with the guy.
Now if we somehow convince Jensen or Bryant to take the reins down the road, I could see adding Miller to the mix. Now? It feels like a desperate move that may do Andre more harm than it would the U some good.
If we bring him in, let’s not do it as a move of desperation onto a staff that’s hanging on for dear life.
