Few’s wiki says he was an assistant for one season at where Byrne went to high school. It seems to have been his junior year.
A bit of a stretch for a connection or a reason to uproot his life from a place he has worked for 30 years and move across the country from the area he has lived his whole life.
He has also turned down other offers in the past. It doesn’t hurt to ask, but I don’t see it happening.

I'd make him turn me down, Crimson1967.

Few doesn't seem realistic but he darn sure seems to be worth a shot. That's the kind of guy that could potentially change the culture around the basketball program, and that more than anything is what needs to change. Not just another head coaching change, but a change to the entire approach. Few has accomplished more and gone further than basically every Alabama basketball coach combined.
Wouldn’t be happy about it, but until the NCAA does something meaningful to the programs playing with fire, let’s grab a few sticks ourselves.Gentlemen, it’s happening.

I have to give it to you LD. You tried to warn us about CAJ and his style. You were pretty spot on.

I find Pitino’s off court behavior as disgusting as anything he has done on it.

Lol, I hope so. He's quite literally one of the best to ever do it. There'd be the added joy of watching the sports world (including a big chunk of our own fanbase) foam at the mouth in a mixture of confusion and weird, misplaced, moral high ground jostling-type anger.Gentlemen, it’s happening.

He may not be 100% happy; but he's almost 100% certainly in the crosshairs of this whole paying players scandal. He will most likely be let go by Arizona so that they can try to avoid as much punishment as possible. He's denying it, of course; but with evidence of monetary offers to former players by former assistant coaches already out, it may be hard for Miller to defend his innocence. Byrne would be wise to steer clear of Miller until he's able to prove that he wasn't involved with this.
Questionable hire unless Miller can prove his innocence, but far less risk than Pitino in my mind

Age: 51
Current job: Out of coaching (since 2017)
Previous jobs: Head coach, Ohio State (2004-17), Xavier (2001-04), and Butler (2000-01); assistant coach, Butler, Miami (OH), and Western Carolina
Career head coaching record: 439-154 (.740)
NCAA Tournament appearances: 13
NCAA Tournament record: 24-13
He's coached at a "football" school and won consistently. He's won 74% of his games. To put that number into context, only five active Division 1 head coaches with at least five years have won more than that: Mark Few, Roy Williams, John Calipari, Mike Krzyzewski, and Bill Self.
He's had some health issues; but, if those are behind him, we could do a whole lot worse.

Avery changed the perception of the program. No matter what some might say. Pitino would add to what Avery started. Even if he’s 67.
