Reports: Archie Miller could land Rhode Island job

Former Dayton Flyers coach Archie Miller could return to the Atlantic 10 Conference as the head coach at Rhode Island.

Pete Thamel, of ESPN, reported Rhode Island has targeted Miller as the replacement for David Cox, who was fired on March 11 after posting a record of 64-55 in four seasons. Miller and Rhode Island “are working toward finalizing a deal in the upcoming days,” Thamel wrote.

Jon Rothstein, of CBS Sports, also reported MIller is a “serious candidate” for the Rhode Island job and that Miller and Rhode Island met this week.

Miller left in March 2017 to take the head coaching job at Indiana. He had a 67-58 record in four seasons and was fired last March.
