I don't even think that you can say the stats are there. He has missed the tournament twice and been upset by a team seeded at least three spots lower than him twice.  That is four bad endings to a season in 7 years.  His SOS is in the 80's, his point differential is not impressive.  He had one run.  Take away the elite 8 run, and there is not much of a case for Archie over any other above average mid major coach.

Same thoughts with Archie.  Take away EE flash in pan and would anyone even care?  Nope.  No home run hire outside of Stevens or Donovan. After that you have to look at someone who's been to a FF minimum or several EE's and been very successful in season. Won conf a few times, pushed close to 30 wins and been consistent with no 7th, 8th, or 10th place finishes 3 out of 4 like our previous.  There are only a few that fit that bill. Bennett or Marshall. After that Glass statements don't fit anyone else's resume. If someone lower is introduced then we got turned down, plain and simple.

People did the same with Holtmann a few hours ago. The same with Bennett a few days ago. What happens to Chris Mack if X loses tomorrow? I'm just pointing out the trend on the board here.

The problem with the NCAA tournament is that you have the best 68 teams in the nation playing 67 games... and EVERYONE goes home a loser except one team.

If you're going to base your decision for a new coach on one game, the odds are incredibly high that that game will be their final loss. In that case, you have to judge the team/coach/performance on who they played, how they played and what their overall standing was going into the game/tournament. Any other evaluation will, by definition and design, be suspect.
