Brian Johnson is a terrible comparison for Miller as is Doman, Bosco, Cahoon, and Max Hall. None of these players brought with them the credibility of a long professional career.

Also, remember that Miller was a big part of getting Drisdom, Markson, and Cheney committed to Utah. I don't doubt that he can occasionally put aside being an angry old man to recruit.
I'd love it if Andre made a difference at Utah by teaching our players. I do think that the list of former NBA Hall of Fame-level players who became great college coaches is kind of short. Bill Russell comes to mind, as does Bill Sharman, but they coached in the NBA. Who am I missing?
