Four candidates for Utes new Basketball head coach
Posted by TimTamBAMM on February 25, 2025 at 6:03 pmSo with the Utes firing coach Craig Smith after 4 seasons recently, there is a coaching vacancy that needs to be filled and there’s already some ideas for candidates to take over. Sports Illustrated has a four candidates they see could be possible options. They are;
- Alex Jensen
- Jeff Hornacek
- Richard Pitino
- Andre Miller
I am excited to see where Utah goes, maybe these 4 are candidates they are looking at, or maybe there are another list of candidates. I like Alex Jensen and especially like Andre Miller.

Andre Miller would be a dream hire for me. I would love to see that come to fruition.
-
I want Pitino, I think he’d revive this team to their old winning ways.
-
I would be happy with either Jensen, Hornacek or Miller. Mill is probably my #1 want for head coach.
-
Just give us Miller and call it a day. I like the other candidates, but Miller would be my pick too.
-
I think any of these guys would be an improvement over Smith, but I’m really interested in seeing what Richard Pitino can do for us.
-
All I gotta say, is that they better pick the right person for the job, because we need this guys to get back to their winning ways.
-
I agree. It’s going to be a hard choice, but I think Utah will find a worthy replacement. I would go with Miller honestly.
-
-
I think this is a good pool of candidates, Hornacek being my favorite.
-
I really like Jensen’s track record, he’s done a lot so far in his career, and I think he’d be a good pick for their new head coach.
-
I am in agreement there. He has a good portfolio of success. If not him, I think Andre Miller would be my next pick.
-
-
I’m on the Andre Miller bandwagon, would love to see him coach for us.
-
Miller is my pick, but I have a feeling neither of these guys will get the job, and the Utes will look elsewhere for their future head coach.
-
Yeah these are just predictions, there’s no guarantee these are the candidates the Utes are eyeing or not. It could be a whole different group of candidates for all we know.
-
There’s always a chance that these guys aren’t even on the Utes radar or in discussion. But, I am kind of hopeful it’s one of these four guys, because they all seem like worthy options, far more appealing than the alternatives I feel.

It’s hard to pick one, because they are all so great. Andre Miller sounds like the perfect pick in my book, simply for his history in Utah.
-
Jensen and Miller are the top two, but it seems as if Jensen is getting the job.
