Sean Miller changes mind, accepts Arizona gig

After initially rejecting the job offer, Sean Miller has decided to leave Xavier and accept the head coaching job at the University of Arizona.

Per Yahoo! Sports, Miller told Arizona officials he would remain at Xavier last night, then asked if he could sleep on the decision before accepting the position today.

Over five seasons, Miller led Xavier to two Elite Eight appearances and 120-47 overall record. The deal is worth $18 million over seven years.

Across Twitter, Arizona fans rejoiced the signing while the Xavier faithful expressed feelings of betrayal.
