Sean Miler was officially introduced at a ceremony on the University of Texas campus Tuesday in front of gathered media and other UT dignitaries like football coach Steve Sarkisian, women's basketball coach Vic Schaefer and baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle.
Miller talked about how hard of a decision it was to leave Xavier, a school he coached twice that gave him a lifeline after his scandal at Arizona. “It was a major struggle for me in one sense, and that has nothing to do with the great place that I’m standing at right now," Miller said. "It tugs at your heart when people believe in you."
As for the Texas job, Miller said the goal is to get the Longhorns back to the Final Four. "I’m hungry to get there, and I’ll also tell you I know this place is hungry to get back there, and compete, and win a national championship," he said.
Miller also is confident Texas' NIL commitment is in place and sound. “When it comes to NIL, I don’t have any concerns about whether we’ll have the resources or the ability in the NIL space," he said. "This is the University of Texas."
