Miller’s tenure ended after a 12-15 season, the program’s first losing season since 2010-11. Miller was 139-63 in six seasons at Dayton and 67-58 in four seasons at Indiana. The Hoosiers finished under .500 in the Big Ten Conference the last three seasons. He finished 33-44 in the Big Ten.
According to the Indianapolis Star, Indiana will have to pay Miller more than $10 million over the next three years to buy out his contract. Miller ranked 21st in the country in salary this season, making $3,350,000, according to USA Today.
The Hoosiers failed to make the NCAA tournament during Miller’s tenure, though Indiana had its best season of the Miller era in 2019-20, finishing 20-12, when the tournament was cancelled.
Miller, who took the Indiana job in March of 2017, is the third straight coach to leave Dayton for a job in a power five conference and fail to make the NCAA tournament in his first four seasons.
