Texas Basketball Hires Sean Miller After Firing Rodney Terry

The Longhorns dismissed Rodney Terry following a disappointing season and quickly appointed Sean Miller to lead the program into a new era.

Rodney Terry was fired after Texas finished 19-16 overall and 6-12 in SEC play, culminating in a First Four loss to Xavier in the NCAA Tournament.
Terry's tenure included an Elite Eight run in 2023 but struggled to maintain success in subsequent seasons, leading to his dismissal.
Sean Miller, previously head coach at Xavier and Arizona, brings a 487-196 career record and extensive NCAA Tournament experience to Texas.
Miller's hiring aligns with the opening of the NCAA transfer portal, highlighting Texas' urgency to rebuild its roster for SEC competitiveness.
Miller's career includes success on the court but also controversy, with recruiting violations during his time at Arizona raising questions about his leadership.
