Texas announces Sean Miller as next Longhorns basketball head coach

[ad_1]

Reports surfaced Sunday afternoon that Sean Miller was leaving Xavier to become the next head coach at Texas.

Those reports were confirmed Monday as Miller informed Xavier officials that he was leaving for the Longhorns.

On Monday night, Miller arrived in Austin, Texas with his wife, Amy, and posed for a picture with Texas Athletic Director Chris Del Conte.

Del Conte was rumored to have an interest in Miller in 2023, when Xavier and Texas met in the Sweet 16 in Kansas City. The Longhorns advanced and Texas ultimately decided to remove the interim tag from Rodney Terry’s job title.

Terry led the Longhorns for the next two seasons but was officially let go on Sunday, just hours before the Austin American-Statesman broke the news that Miller would be the next Texas coach.

What is Sean Miller’s new contract at the University of Texas?

Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reported Monday night that Miller inked a six-year deal to be the new head coach at Texas.

Kirk Bohls of the Houston Chronicle reported Sunday that Miller is expected to be one of the highest-paid coaches in college basketball with a contract north of $5 million.
