I hadn't heard Tim Miles wouldn't leave. He's also a Don Meyer disciple. Don Meyer is a badass. Anyone who studies Don Meyer goes to the top of my list.
Amaker at Michigan was a long, long time ago.

The Tennessee Head Basketball Coach is not the top job in the SEC, but after Kentucky, and Florida, it's hard to find a school in the SEC that has such a devoted fan base.
How many other programs in the SEC have a 23k seat arena, and a fan base that is just looking for a reason to want to fill it every game? I say the UT job is the third best job in the SEC.
I don't really want any of them but TA's resume is way better than Miles. He has never had a 20 win regular season. Crews is too old to not be a big name. Amaker also has the edge on name recognition of the three by far.
I'm not getting where Amaker is "way better" than Miles. He had one good season at Seton Hall and was terrible at Michigan. He's been 3 years in a row to the NCAAT at Harvard but again, he's in a league where 1 team is getting a bid.
