Welcome Coach Miller

[Dizz 323]

The thing is, without the Billy Donovan pipedream that everyone got hyped for (including myself), there are only two coaches you could argue that were real possibilities who are better than Archie.  Marshall and Bennett.  Outside of those two, who do you think would be better than Archie?  No one in my opinion.

I would change that to say IU WAS an elite job.  Miller could be great, but I see the hire as a gamble.  Pedigree is no better than Crean's was 9 years ago.  Granted IU is in a completely different place, though.

But if IU is such an elite job, I don't think you have to hire a coach at almost 6 times his current salary. 

If not him then who? It's all about timing. The timing was that Crean definitely needed to go and miller was one of the best coaching prospects on the market.

The only people that seem to not think it's a good hire is about half the IU fan base that thought Donovan was going to be the coach and anyone else wasn't good enough.

I was thinking the same thing

Crean and Archie are mutually exclusive. To assume Archie is Crean is ridiculous. Could it happen? Sure. But I feel a lot better with Archie at he helm than with Crean. He's also 38 and went farther AT DAYTON than Crean did at IU in the tourney.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion on this hire. I will say, don't take it out on the admin or the new coach. Take it out on those attention whores over at 247 and on Twitter. They were the ones who sold us on the Donovan bs. Archie is a fantastic young coach and a tremendous recruiter.

I can't say AMEN enough times for this post!

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,391]

Pap how about a recruiting update

So, he's been hired for what 3 hrs and you want to know this? Makes no sense. At least give him a day couple days.

If you're gonna exclude Creans first few years shouldn't you exclude Archie's first two

Very good point.  Personally, I feel Marshall has proven himself more but has apparently proven be a difficult guy to have working for you (AD). Either one of those guys would be generating equal amounts of griping, I suspect.  Maybe not from the same posters (although there are maybe a couple who would have complained no matter what).

After the longshot of Billy D, I'm not sure any of the names mentioned would be consensus choices and each would come with question marks.

We got a got a guy acknowledged to be on most everyone's list. I know many want to poo-poo 0708, but he said there were talks with BD and he turned down a lot of money (and that his wife was a large factor in him turning it down).

I just used the stats from the last 7 years, though, Archie's Elite 8 run happened during a year where his stats were very weak. Also, not sure that he had an equivalent rebuild. I am pretty sure there was more talent (in a lesser conference) on AM's first squad than on Crean's first three combined.

Reason archie was my favorite choice after stevens donovan is he is young and has major upside. He looks like hw has alot of energy ans i believe he will be successful and have many great years at iu. Cant wait for October lol
