Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Always good to see, especially when Marquette fans weren't too broken up about Crean leaving when he did. Though other than Alford all the coaches we were speculating about it seemed like their fans would have been mad about their coach leaving Kepner 1 Quote

We are hiring a rising star coach who is talented and young. Every coach is a risk but he is are best chance we have hired since knight imo.

Popular Post Dalton26 Posted March 25, 2017 Popular Post Posted March 25, 2017 Nope. Neither are U.K., PU, Or Illinois fans. I went to RR and there hasn't been one negative thing said. Most just say "great hire" or a swing for the fence hire that makes sense. Lol and, "he isn't weird enough to dislike but now they have to."Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appThe 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.

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. Out of who was linked to IU, yes Archie was the best. Jay Wright wasn't happening. Sean Miller wasn't happening. Mack, Marshall and Collins don't have the potential that Archie has. Bennett is the only one I would consider on or near his level but he wasn't leaving either Quote

I've seen your posts and I don't really have anything bad to say about them. You said you'd support him but you weren't excited. I'm 100% cool with that I just have issue with the fans that are throwing a fit saying IU is done blah blah blah and aren't willing to give the guy more than 5 minutes.

Everyone else has risk involved. As for young guys, it's important to get feedback from their peers. Not sure any young coach is a well regarded as Archie Miller. He's proven his chops as a recruiter and he's CONSISTENTLY done more with less, while at Dayton. He has made 4 straight NCAA tournaments (Dayton has only made 1 in the previous 9 seasons), won 2 straight A-10 regular season championships, 2017 A-10 Coach of the Year, made an Elite 8........ this is a homerun hire. Crean's biggest knock was consistency... This won't be an issue with Archie. Both my head and my gut tells me that Archie Miller is going to restore us to elite status within the next 2 seasons.
