Cincinnati Fires Wes Miller After Five Seasons Without NCAA Bid

Reports indicate the school will wait until April 1 to finalize the move to lower the buyout.

Overview

  • The decision follows Wednesday’s 66-65 overtime loss to UCF in the Big 12 Tournament, where Cincinnati surrendered an eight-point lead in the final two minutes.
  • Multiple outlets report no formal announcement is expected until after April 1, when Miller’s buyout drops from about $9.9 million to roughly $4.7 million.
  • Miller went 100-74 over five seasons but never reached the NCAA Tournament, finishing this season 18-15.
  • Cincinnati has not appeared in the NCAA Tournament since 2019, heightening pressure on the program’s leadership to make a change.
  • Utah State coach Jerrod Calhoun is considered a leading candidate to replace Miller, according to reports citing sources.
