IUc2016

was actually 8th highest when he was hired. Which for his resume at the time was pretty reasonable. No reason to give him top 5 money. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2017/06/27/archie-millers-first-iu-contract-worth-least-24-million/431329001/

I could be wrong, but I thought his salary was top 10 at the time the contract was written. But since he hasn't performed he hasn't gotten a pay raise to keep it top 10.

It's Tom Allen season in 5 months. He will provide plenty of distraction :)

Franimal

really is the only argument. Crean had BIG championships and multiple sweet 16s that people argued as reasons to keep him. Archie has absolutely nothing. 4 years is plenty, Lots of coaches get fired in year 4 when there have been no results.

Go Clovers! My old stomping grounds. But yeah those two together were fun to watch for a small school.

I am with you. It just doesn't make sense to bring him back knowing you are going to fire him in one year. That is bad for all parties, including Archie. He would have to have a MAJOR year next year to get any kind of leeway with the fans. It should be over regardless of the finances.

guess Brad Stevens won't be walking through that door then.

Well enfield and USC just had a prayer of a buzzer beater go down to beat UCLA on the road. 64-63 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

His wife is from Louisville, I didn’t think they would leave. Unless Louisville is about to get hammered by NCAA (doubt it) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

He made 1 run. To the sweet 16. He only coached one Other year at the lower level program and he had a losing record. He then took over USC. And has been mediocre. Fife is 10 years removed. So yes quite a bit of time ago Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Is this THE list? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I know I would. Even if he was confined to a wheel chair. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Look Nobody is saying Fife is their top choice. Or that he will succeed here. But he did go to IU. You think Michigan would have went after Howard if he didn’t go to Michigan? You think Purdue goes after painter and brings him in as a coach in waiting if he didn’t go to Purdue? I am by no means saying IU should go after him. He is down my list. But IMO it’s quite obvious why he is getting talked about and why IU would go after him. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I would not be excited about a guy who has coached 9 seasons and never won his conference regular season championship and missed the tournament 5 out of 9 seasons. Plus has been to the sweet 16 1 time. Give me fife at least he makes some sense and has connections to IU, BIG, and Midwest. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

You have heard they might be getting cold feet about parting ways?

The last two years the BIG has been the toughest it has ever been. In those two years Illinois is a combined 28-11 in conference play. I will disagree with you, but just my opinion Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Which is totally fine. I didn’t think you were implying anything by it until YOU responded to my post. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

You’re seriously stretching if that post about the difficult schedule was a way to say Archie has a reason for his struggles ALL 4 years. The big ten has been so tough for all teams. Yet Almost all have had success except IU and the typical bottom feeders. I have been a huge Archie supporter/defender but even I can see it’s been a huge failure no matter the schedule.

Bro, they are about to be a #1 seed. Would have been a #4 seed last year. C’mon Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I thought you were Scott Dolson. Damn Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Plus the big ten is tough for every big ten team. Don’t see Michigan, Illinois, MSU (expect this year), Ohio state, Purdue, Wisconsin struggling with their tough schedules. Nope, just poor ol IU. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Can't believe IU would fire Archie after the progress he made this year in avoiding the Wednesday of the BIG tournament! Our fanbase is so unreasonable! I kid I kid. But seriously, will be a fun tournament to watch.

You don’t have to be an insider to know he SHOULD be gone. None of us actually know whether he will be. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
