Will be interesting to hear the players reaction. Do you think they will be excited or disappointed?

Dude, you're just so far off base with this whole years of the contract deal. No coach can come in and recruit on a three year contract. He'd be set up to fail from the start.

My stance is disappointment because of expectations. Archie COULD be very good for us. If he can recruit anything like his brother I'll be ecstatic about our chances.

 

Like rebel said, I was just hoping our resources and status could get us our top target (I bet glass was too).

Glass said Archie was on his short list from the beginning, meaning he was not our top choice, clearly.

 

I'm excited to see IU under different direction than Crean but I just hoped we would making a statement hire with much less uncertainty.

 

His first recruiting cycle and season will be telling.

Let me get this straight...
Gregg Marshall:  Booo, mid major
Archie Miller:  Yayyy, mid major
 
Makes perfect sense.

Gregg marshall: boo his drunk @$$ wife ruined his shot

Yeah though i never thought sean muller would happen and marshall sounds like a jerk from alot of posts. Donovan seemed great but a pipe dream mostly.

Yep....I thought one of those guys would have taken the job and about 7m a year. Either that didn't sway them, or IU didn't offer that. I'm glad it's Archie instead of Mack, Holtman, or Bennett.

This is the exact scenario I've been posting about for a couple days. Someone here were so hell bent to believe that Donavon was the hire, they are having a huge letdown. Therefore , they can't understand this hire.

There's also the people who see an underwhelming resume akin to our last coach and can't understand the hire. Don't lump all us Archie skeptics together.

Comparison between Archie and Crean since 2011 (Archie's first year at Dayton).

I'll just leave it right here...

[MisterBigRig 66]

Archie's 2016 Dayton Staff

Kevin Kuwik - Assistant Coach

Allen Griffin - Assistant Coach

Tom Ostrom - Assistant Coach

Archie's 2017 Dayton Commits

Jordan Davis - Shooting Guard

Jordan Pierce - Power Forward

McKinley Wright - Point Guard

Nahziah Carter - Shooting Guard

I wouldn't get caught up in the length of the contract. Fred explained it in his presser when he fired Crean. They don't have to pay out the remaining year's if the coach lands another job. The value of the contract is offset by their new contract dollar for dollar.

Would he have to sit out if he follows Miller?

How do you pronounce that name? Does he have a nickname ?

$4.1 million a year means we're going to have plenty of money left over for recruiting. I'm excited to see what our current players decide to do and who we can add late in the cycle. Hopefully Archie gets on the phone with Justin Smith and gets him to stick with us. I think this move helps convince TB to stick around as well. I was hard on him last year but I think Archie would have him glued to the block like he needs to be. His draft stock would get much higher imo.

I've had to skip around the thread a bit, so I may have missed if already posted.... Any sense of recruiting prospects that may follow CAM to Bloomington?

I really do understand guys. I'm just frustrated this could end up being another disaster

Much like many of you, CAM was my first choice on Tier 2, after Stevens/Donovan.

Wanted NOTHING to do with Alford or Marshall, so, IMO this was a "get" for Glass and Hoosier Nation.  CAM is going to bring the energy and enthusiasm that CTC brought, but he'll also bring solid recruiting experience AND (from what I've seen) the in-game coaching intangibles that we have been a bit short on for a while.  His teams get after it on the defensive side of the ball as well, so I think a few current players better stay in shape this off-season.

 

[TheWatShot 15,489]

Good thing we kept Tom Crean for so long. If timing was the reason we didn't get Donovan, then Glass blew it two years ago when he chose to keep a proven failure that's not wanted by any high major program now.

 

I'm intrigued by Miller, but not overly excited. I want to be big-time. It pisses me off how the national media repeatedly scoffed at us for even thinking we could get an NBA coach. Miller may make us elite, but it's far less of a sure thing.

This would be Fun.

Sorry--posted this wrong above. What do we know about this guy? And-how do we pronounce this name? Nickname?

Frankly, that's not an overwhelming difference...

But if Archie can teach IU basketball players to set a screen, block out on the boards, run an inbounds play without turning the ball over, play something other than 'matador defense' and cut turnovers, I'll be willing to give him a chance...
