As underwhelmed as I am by both Kelsey and Miller, both are probably far better than the choice that will ultimately be made by Wellman. Sigh.
Who do you want that is a a realistic candidate?

So, it's more that you don't like Kelsey than the actual experience which you can't dispute.
Right, but beating the mean by 5 spots on KP doesn't mean very much. I think it's going to take more than "simple analysis" to ascertain what this means, which is why I was asking for a definition.

Woof, some of those guys should be in your red flag. Turner, Grant and Alexander seem reasonable...but the other 2 have never even made the NCAA tournament and have nothing notable going for them.
Alright, so which coaches on those teams have been there for 3+ years/overachieved/are still there? A quick glance shows teams who have had coaching turnover because they are already on P5 team.
Casey Alexander looks really good at Lipscomb.
Miller definitely isn't worthy of his own tier, he has not done near enough to earn that

Dude, I'm not going to write your columns for you. If you want me to do some analyses for you, ask me. If you want me to use data more detailed than the Kenpom frontpage, send me your Kenpom subscription.

So move his tier down a bit. I think most just disagree with the idea that Miller is the 6th best option for Wake in all of college basketball. Even if you keep Musselman and Oats in the homerun tier, a guy with no P6 experience and a single Top 100 finish shouldn't be the next best choice after "homerun" just because of a bunch of intangibles/connections that have little to do with how well he'd do the job.He's in his own tier because of his age, his experience, his ties to the ACC, and the realistic odds we have of landing him.

You've established that. Those are not reasons to put him in his own tier.
Hire the best coach. It is a very good job and there are lots of "realistic" candidates, and only a handful of not realistic ones
Alright, who should we get?
