Stuhoo Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I see near universal agreement that the fanbase would be thrilled with Donovan, but given that in the past 24 hours there have been flights into Bloomington from both Dayton and Wichita, I pose this question: If not Donovan and given a choice between Archie Miller and Gregg Marshall, who do you prefer, and why?

WayneFleekHoosier Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Archie for me. Pros-age, my belief he would recruit high major players like his brother.Gregg- he's a winner no doubt, and a great coach. His age and my concern about him recruiting the best players are the reason I'd tilt to Archie. Also Gregg has an attitude I'm not sure I like. That last part is TBD though. I'm judging him on limited knowledge. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners HoosierAloha, Class of '66 Old Fart, ALASKA HOOSIER and 2 others 5 Quote
Hovadipo Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Archie. Young guy that has promise and could be here for a quarter century+. I've enjoyed watching the teams he's built (and been forced to tear down, while still having success) at Dayton. He's created a family in his program that is tight knit. (See: The unfortunate passing of Steve McElvene) Dayton fans are terrified of losing him. Already has ties to midwest recruiting being based in Dayton. I've been conducting this train for 3 years and won't stop now. Marshall is a great coach. I will never argue that. His personality worries me, though. He has Tom Crean tendencies, which don't play well with this fanbase anymore. It's been said that he doesn't like his system being messed with (by boosters, trustees, the athletic department) which is a serious problem when it comes to coaching at Indiana. If you push away the deep pockets here? Bye bye. That's a community, unlike at Wichita where one guy (Koch) feeds the beast. Also, he wouldn't be here nearly as long as Archie. Respectfully, pass.

JSHoosier Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I'd choose Marshall. A longer track record of success and all the guy does is win. I don't give a crap if he's got a temper. Quote

pappy1865 Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Archie. NO Gregg for me, for reasons I've stated elsewhere. Quote
Capt. Crimson Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Archie. I know this is dumb, but bringing in Donovan feels like cheating on our way to a title. I want a winning coach that is going to grow with our program and stick around for a long time. Quote
Dalton26 Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Archie and it isnt even close. Archie - see what Hova said above. Marshall - Id rather have a younger guy with potential than an older guy that has only done something at a mid major. Yes Archie is also at a mid major but this is just the begining of his career while it seems like Marshall has been scared to jump to a big boy conference. Marshall somewhat reminds me of Crean at Marquette. Better X's and O's guy, but seems like a giant crybaby. Hard pass. Milldawg12 and Dankomite 2 Quote

He would have to build a roster through recruiting and repair the damage that has been accumulating over the past ~30 years. He's not young but he could easily be here for the next 15-20 years. Between Archie and Marshall I would go with Archie 100%. Marshall has too many Crean tendencies for me. Milldawg12 1 Quote

If we did win, I would feel like we took the easier route. Like I said, I know it's dumb. It's seriously my only hang up with him. But this thread was Archie vs. Gregg. Quote

Hoosier in NC Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Archie and it isn't even close. Gregg wouldn't even be next in line on my chart. Bennett would be way ahead of Gregg as well. Quote

sirhoosierlot Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I'm picking Archie too. More upside to me. And Marshall looks too much like TC. That's a dumb reason, but here we are. Hoosierfan2017 1 Quote
woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I understand the love for Archie, but I prefer Marshall. I wouldn't be disappointed with either. I'll believe we have Donavon when they have the Press conference. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Quote
