Hoosierfan2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Thank you Fred! I don't think Hoosier fans will be sending you mean emails anymore. Quote
JSHoosier Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 He brought me towards his side when he fired Crean and talked a big game selling a Corvette. He blatantly lied and delivered a Civic and pushed me the other direction. jmsgws and AZ Hoosier 2 Quote
rebelhoosier848891 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Big expectations after that presser. Did not deliver in my opinion. Glass is back on my watchlist. Hope Archie wins to save his job too.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners HoosierSadaseci, Josh, SteelerHoosier and 2 others 5 Quote
AZ Hoosier Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Freddie lied to us... what about the "Indiana ties"? Where's the "home run"? If this is "swinging for he fences", I'm out. Giving Archie a chance to save Glass' job... but wow... my mind is blown. Josh 1 Quote
JSHoosier Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Fully on board the fire Glass train. Miller doesn't fit what he described. He over sold and under delivered. He sold us on a high powered sports car and delivered an economy car. Josh 1 Quote

He sold us on a high powered sports car and delivered an economy car.Not onboard to fire, but "under promise, over deliver" is the golden rule. The opposite is a how you start small fires where you are sitting...Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Josh 1 Quote
Brass Cannon Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I'm going to have to write about my displeasure about this Quote
Josh Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Indiana has been to the Final Four every decade of basketball except the 60's. 40's (won a title) 50's (won a title) 70's (won a title) 80's (won two titles) 90's 00's So that brings us to this decade. We have two seasons left. Will Archie Miller make a big enough splash to get another decade added to the list? If not, I directly blame Glass for both holding onto Crean too long and for hiring a guy who might eventually do well. Quote

Then it is Glass fault if that doesn't happen cause Miller "might eventually do well." This fan base is funny. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app waitingon6 and Dalton26 2 Quote

TheWatShot Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 We can't blame Glass for what Sampson left us in, but if we go a full decade without a Final Four, we deserve it. We kept Mike Davis for too long, hired a known cheater, then kept Tom Crean for too long. We aren't in the conversation with the bluebloods anymore because we don't act like a blueblood.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app I wasn't trying to say that. A blueblood doesn't keep Mike Davis after back to back years of no postseason (and probably doesn't hire him to start with). A blueblood doesn't let that coach intimidate the university into feeling like they have to hire a minority. A blueblood doesn't bring in a coach under investigation and let his impending punishment handicap them, then self-report him for something as silly as phone calls and let it nuke the program. A blueblood doesn't give Tom Crean a 10-year contract and then extend him after a Sweet 16 run, then let him coach 2-3 years past his expiration date. I like Archie Miller and I think he can be great here. I just hate the narrative that we had to settle because we weren't good enough for our top targets. But when you look back over the last 15 years, we've kind of brought it on ourselves. Josh 1 Quote
HoosierSadaseci Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Fred, you have officially been put on notice. I just hope we don't need to make this thread 1000 pages before Glass is gone. Trish 1 Quote
HoosierAloha Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 This was Glass' hire and he knows what needs to happen after talking a big game. If Archie fails Glass is gone. If Archie succeeds Glass and Archie will be known as the ones who brought IU back to greatness. Archie has star potential but has to achieve it now. It should be a fun ride regardless.

But when you look back over the last 15 years, we've kind of brought it on ourselves.1. Kentucky hired Calipari when he was under investigation at Memphis. 2. They extended Crean when he was the #1 team in the country for two years in what was nothing much more than a raise. It was either that year or after, but it would have happened. As for the perception of being a Blue Blood. That really doesn't matter what you, I, or any fan thinks. There isn't an extra badge or rulebook given to a fan base of a blue blood. All he has to do is recruit the area and win. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
