This might feel a little reactionary due to Dayton’s Elite Eight run, but people within college basketball love Archie Miller.
Miller — the brother of Arizona coach Sean Miller — is only 35. So he qualifies to be on this list via his youth and current accomplishments alone. What helps put him ahead of a few other guys is the fact that he is doing this at Dayton. Meaning, when and if he ever takes a job at a school with a little more resources (Dayton isn’t a joke, though), the future will be so bright for Archie Miller that he will have to wear shades.
His wife is really good-looking too. So I root for him for selfish reasons. With that being the case and all, I’ll just leave this right here for all of us…
