Can't say I'm surprised, seems to have been a pretty good recruiter but Arizona rarely seemed to be towards the top of the Pac-12, they underperformed a lot. Now to see who they get to replace Miller and if it's an upgrade.

Re: Arizona fires Sean Miller
Not the attractive job that it could be. The ongoing investigation into Arizona's basketball program could turn into major sanctions being announced. They may catch a break with Miller no longer being the coach, but unless Arizona changes its name to University of Alabama, I don't see them getting off easily.

Great recruiter (or the bag man was).
Miller was always gracious in defeat. That is meant as a compliment not being snarky.

Re: Arizona fires Sean Miller
The looming cloud over Arizona suggests they will not get a Top Notch coach. Wouldn't be surprised if they miss the Tourney many times in the years to come. Not sure I like this as a fan of Oregon and the Pac-12. It is way more fun when Oregon beats a Stacked Arizona team by the skin of their teeth. I think it really hurts the Pac-12s perception if Arizona is not a top-3 team in the league.
Same thing with UCLA needing to be near the top. Even though it is a bit Irksome that UCLA is predicted to be a top-5 team next year, as I see them being roughly on the same level as the other top pac-12 teams, it is still a huge boon for the conference to have the winningest program ranked so high. This will certainly help mitigate the perpetual under-ranking/seeding that afflicts the Pac-12.

It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

Very curious to see who they find.
