Legitimate question? Hardly... The wins at other schools is part of the body of work. So, the total wins when it's all done is the big picture of the coaching career.
If you want to discuss more of a national Hall of Fame/"Mt. Rushmore" as opposed to just UNI, then that's fine to talk about Eldon Miller in there.
And I'm not bagging on Miller or arguing he should have his name wiped from the records or anything like that. But, once again, his career record at UNI is 14 games under .500 overall, and 26 games under for just conference record(s). You cannot make an argument with a straight face that he should somehow be on a hypothetical Mt. Rushmore of UNI basketball ahead of either Greg McDermott or Ben Jacobson.

Let's assume Bill Self leaves Kansas for the NBA in May. Assume further that Greg McDermott, Dana Altman, and Fred Hoiberg are their final 3 choices, hypothetically. All three have more than 1 stop in division 1. No, chance whats-so-ever the Jayhawks ignore ALL the jobs and only base the hiring decision on the best record? I didn't think so. How about them goalposts. You don't think Kansas would want the best guy?

THAT'S NOT THE CONVERSATION. A UNI Mt.Rushmore is impact on UNI, that's it. It's the same reason Kurt Warner doesn't belong on the UNI Mt.Rushmore, because he wasn't that good at UNI. It's not even close.

Ah well, the last I checked there is more pressure coaching at Ohio State then compared to Northern Iowa or Creighton.

Again, that is totally unrelated to the conversation at hand. Should someone be considered for the actual Mt.Rushmore because of something they accomplished prior to coming to America? This is a really stupid comparison, but I don't know how to more clearly lay out how ignorant you are being.
