Texas Hires Sean Miller as New Men's Basketball Head Coach

Sean Miller replaces Rodney Terry following Texas' early NCAA Tournament exit and challenging SEC debut.

Rodney Terry was dismissed after three seasons at Texas, including a 19-16 record in the team's first SEC season and a First Four loss in the NCAA Tournament.
Sean Miller, previously head coach at Xavier, has been officially hired to lead the Longhorns, marking a swift transition ahead of the NCAA transfer portal opening.
Miller brings a track record of success with 13 NCAA Tournament appearances and multiple Elite Eight runs, though his tenure at Arizona was clouded by NCAA investigations.
Texas Athletic Director Chris Del Conte reportedly targeted Miller as a replacement before announcing Terry's firing, emphasizing the program's need for stability and competitiveness.
Miller inherits a Texas program aiming to rebound from recent struggles and leverage its resources, including NIL opportunities, to rebuild quickly in the SEC.
