Welcome Coach Miller

[bigrod 2,871]

1. Stevens
2. Donovan
3. Sean Miller
4. Few
5. Bennett
5. Alford
6. Marshall
7. Probably Archie 7. But I don't think he is necessarily, without a doubt, currently better than Collins, White, Huggins, Martin, and a host of others.

His age and family ties give hope. His results are pretty good. He's on the list. Of the "realistic"-whatever that means- list he is 2-4 for me. I like his youth a lot.

I'll take Archie over Sean all day. We know what Sean can do with tons of talent.

Smart AD.

Alford in your top 5/6 says it all. No quibble with rest

Right. He's not good enough for IU but UCLA is a good spot for him.

Guy is supremely underrated by our fanbase.

Whatever though, it's not who I wanted anyway. I don't want to go down the Alford road again.

Remember, Sean Miller started at Xavier and built them into a strong program. Archie started at Dayton and built them into a strong program. The only difference with Archie I wanna see is that he can get over the hump of the E8

But you want the brother who hasn't proven he can win or recruit at this level?

Sean is in the mix. Coach K losses all the time to less talented teams in NCAAs. He is THE LEGEND. If Sean keeps putting up 30-5 seasons he'll get one at some point.

Think it helps to have a guy that's been at the school for a long time and is happy there. Feel like Izzo wasn't looking for the biggest pay day just to lock up his job till he retires.

Also Izzo makes 3.5 and Evan Daniels just said contract is more then 3, and I know we've also head 4 so who knows could be less then Izzo in the end.

Well Archie made $1.2 MM in 2014 and received a raise in 2016 so I'm not sure how your math works out.

My search showed that he made about 690,000 in 2016.  http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/mens-basketball/coach/

I could see it. Just gotta step his recruiting game up big time. Hoping Sean can help him out in his secrets.

Late to the party but I love the hire. Could be here for decades to come. Excited about the future!

Hopefully I see Archie down here in New Albany Monday afternoon following the press conference, heck he could take a slight detour and drive through on his way to B-town instead of flying.

Him and his brother are very similar. Both took over mid majors and made them strong programs. Sean then went to Arizona and has done a pretty good job. Archie will do the same for IU

and his brother is an NBA All star

And I want to hear Don Fischer try to say his name

He'd have to transfer, but I'd welcome him with open arms lol

You want me to name 1?

Tony Bennett. I've said it all year long.

Also, for ME, I'd have taken Alford. (Couldn't because 1/4 of IU fans hate him) but he would have been successful with the fanbase behind him.

I have to ask honestly, how much of Alford was recruiting for you? Dude can recruit with resources obviously. I think you overrate how important recruiting is to the sport. Alford isn't a good coach, great recruiter, bad defensive coach, mediocre at coaching offensively gets better talent so he looks better, and not really known as a great X's and O's guy. I want a coach, not a guy who can get kids, but not get the most out of kids
