I don't know how some of you can't be stoked. Only Stevens or Donovan would've been better hires

I agree. I believe that if the Donovan name was never even in existence to happening and Archie was announced, everyone would be like "YES!!!"...now it seems like a letdown to people just because we got our hopes up about Donovan. The way we need to truly look at it is this: Crean is the coach we fired, so is Archie an upgrade to Crean? IMO, I give a resounding YES.

i think glass tried, it was a long shot to get donovan to come or bennett to leave uva. i would have rather had marshall but glass prob didnt like his attitude and the wife thing didnt help. im not excited but im not upset either. complaining isnt going to change it. better than crean and glad it wasnt alford

I heard an interview with one of Marshall's previous AD's who said Marshall's mindset was the AD worked for him, not the other way around. No coach should think they are the AD's boss.

Give him the highest recruiting budget in the conference and I think he does A LOT more with it than Crean did. I think he'll recruit the state well and I think a lot of instate kids in these next couple classes that didn't have much interest in us will be changing their mind now. I'm not going as far as saying he's going to "lock up the state" because I don't really think that's possible these days, but I think we'll be very pleased with what he does on the recruiting front.

Interesting hire and here they said they wanted someone with Indiana ties.

 

It truly looks like IU wanted Alford, and when he said no (last night), Glass picked Archie. I don't think that was really what happened, but it's going to be the perception.

 

Looks VERY weak to me.

That is subjective at best. There are many, many College coaches that have accomplished much more then Archie. Were they available/interested? No idea, but declaring him the best college coach available just isn't accurate.

Having said that, I do hope he succeeds spectacularly. I'm not excited- but hey it's not Alford, so that's a win.

Funny to call people out for being subjective while making subjective statements.
