Terez, I know I am a hard act to follow.. I am the Silver Fox...

John Calipari decided to leave. Sean Miller reportedly decided to stay.

Xavier’s Miller met with Arizona athletic director Jim Livengood on Sunday about the Wildcats’ open head coaching job but rejected the school’s offer later that night, according to multiple media reports.

Xavier AD Mike Bobinski told ESPN.com’s Andy Katz that he expected to speak with Miller late Sunday or early Monday. He wrote in a text message: “Nothing firm at this moment, but I remain very optimistic that Sean Miller will continue as our head basketball coach at Xavier.”

A statement from the school could come on Monday.

Calipari, a good friend of Miller’s, told ESPN.com that Miller was struggling with the same decision he had just battled before leaving Memphis for Kentucky.

Miller “has a potential Final Four team coming back next season, loves where he lives, has security and is paid well and has the best job in his league, yet has to decide whether or not this is the right job for him to explore,” Calipari said earlier Sunday.

While Calipari accepted the challenge of a big-name program, Miller reportedly opted to remain with a program that he has taken to four NCAA tournaments in his five years.

Miller’s decision comes on the heels of Southern California coach Tim Floyd also meeting with Livengood and deciding to stay at USC.  Andy Katz covers college basketball for ESPN.com.

First Tim Floyd, now Sean Miller. It looks like no one wants to follow Lute Olsen. I don’t blame them, Lute is one classy mofo. The Silver Fox has left some big shoes to fill. I hope Zona can land a quality dude because this is getting ridiculous. -TO
