Come on now, how many years until Miller's contract runs out? One more year after this one? He'll be fighting for his career in the final year and if he fails, you can just bring in someone else. I suppose the worry is that the decision about who to hire will be made by folks whose specialty is not athletics. I'm not sure what can be done about this beyond hoping they make a better decision next time. As for Mr. Miller, he have some applicable qualities in him. How would he get on the coaching staff at a decent Big 12 school if he was completely useless? Obviously he has done poorly so far but he must realize this and eventually he ought to be able to find some way of doing better than last place. As I suggested before, his career may be on the line. Who would hire him after failing so completely at EIU? Well, good luck with the rest of the season. Back to Div II the only solution? Come on now, how many years until Miller’s contract runs out?
