No. I think he knows the game pretty well. His personality or lack thereof will likely be his downfall.
-
Pope, Kelsey, Dusty, likely McCollum, etc can all make the tournament year 1 but at Indiana it's always a 4 year rebuild. Maybe our administration consistently hiring crap coaches is the problem.
-
He needs to do more than just make the tournament. Needs to be a really good season. A bubble team with a first weekend exit almost certainly equals an inevitable firing after year 3. Not sure how he accomplishes much more than that unless he gets extremely lucky or Dolson can find him a lot more $.
-
Because they already had great gigs when we pursued them. The time to get Dusty was when he was at FAU. Same for Matta at Xavier or Brad at Butler. Or all the other schools wanting Cignetti. The time to strike was when he was at JMU not when he has IU on top of the world.
-
Disagree bigly. I'd say he's another Buzz Williams and we know how Maryland is doing.
-
IMO he's gonna need $15-20M this spring to have a prayer to turn it around. I don't know where that money comes from. Gonna have to over pay to get some real dudes.
-
That's incorrect. We'd owe over $20M if we fired him now.
-
It would be a $5M buyout at most unless we're going to fire him before he's even coached a game.
-
Cig also just has a completely different personality than DeVries. He's someone players immediately respect and will run through walls for. DeVries is very boring and kind of Archie like. It might be his biggest problem.

I can't imagine why college hoops is dying off. https://x.com/i/status/2013999896718676035
-
Schertz maybe. He's only making $2M year at STL. Maybe 2 years $10M guaranteed would entice him. He wins enough the first 2 years to get a longer or deal or not and goes back to coaching a mid major after earning 8 figures very quickly.

#1 INDIANA FOOTBALL 2025 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
Kentuckysucks replied to Hovadipo's topic in Indiana Hoosiers Football
What do you think Michael Irvin is busting out today? -
Definitely getting a lot of Archie vibes with DeVries. The concern when hired from pundits like the Field of 68 was did he have the right personality for a pressure cooker gig. I think we're learning that the answer is no. Amazing that the administration keeps making the same mistakes. And yes, almost everyone wanted McCollum.
-
Yes I do. Does Rick Pitino know ball?
-
There is a solution and honestly, it's probably about the only way we ever turn this ship around. https://x.com/i/status/1893010639192211723
-
He was the one to hire. Everyone knew except for Dolson.
-
I expected McCollum to put on a clinic and that's exactly what's happening. Why do we screw up every hire we make? It's really unbelievable. Seeing a lot of Archie similarities with DeVries. Just isn't cut out for a big time job.

77 - 70 Iowa.
-
Should win. Both teams equally matched but we're at home. Lose and the season is definitely over although it probably already is.
-
MSU 82 IU 78
-
ESPN analytics giving us about a 35% chance to win. That's a lot better than I would've expected. A win would right a lot of wrongs.
-
OR 23 IU 20 Sucks
-
Bama is finally healthy for almost the first time all season (what great luck) and we haven't played in a month. I can't see us winning. 28 - 21 Bama

2025-2026 IUBB Season Expectations
Kentuckysucks replied to Hoosierfan2017's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Apparently that's what $10M gets you these days. -
I think most people just wanted him to do what Kelsey, Pope, and Dusty did in their first season. Somehow it's always very doable at other schools but at IU it's always a multi year rebuild.
