I think our history with MSU assistants speaks for itself! 

It might be different if said assistant actually learned something from Izzo  (at least when it comes to coaching).

Yes injuries explain the team not even trying against several opponents. 

Starting 4 freshman and sophs explains the inconsistent effort and level of performance. It’s called growing pains. It’s why good to great coaches take 3-4 years to build a program up. Unless you get 3-4 one and dones it can’t happen over night.

If we stink in year 4 I doubt there will be a chance for a successful year 5. Will be too toxic then 
It will be toxic going into year 4 if next year stinks.

OSU disagrees. Tourney in year one. Texas Tech and Arizona also made the tourney in year 2. 

A 1-12 stretch is hardly growing pains when the rest of the year is 16-4. That’s a coach that can’t control his team.

Lol. OSU ha quality talent for Holtmann. Thad Matta left bc of health. He didn’t get fired for being crap. Holtmann walked into a much better situation than Archie. Just like Archie has a better situation than Underwood.

Everybody agreed at the time that Holtmann had a worse hand. 7 scholarship players and less time. Your just revising history to try and fit your narrative. Had Archie developed his players like Holtmann has we would be fine right now.

Everybody agreed? That would be amazing if that happened

Look at the players. He was allowed to bring in his guys. Archie had to play the hand dealt. I said from the get go Underwood, Miller, Holtmann from worst situation to best.

You’re pointing to unique situations and calling it the norm and then making bold generalizations about a situation none of us have much insight into.

In that 1-12 stretch there were plenty of games we were going to struggle to win even if we were playing together. Losses plus chemistry issues equal the disastrous losses we also experienced.

All that 1-12 stretch told me is that something went off the rails, and that Archie and the team got back on track at the end of the year.

You would think some who are pointing to the 18-4 mark would have more optimism for next season than that 1-12 stretch with injuries, suspensions, and whatever the hell else was going on.

I don’t think we are anywhere near as bad as that 1-12 stretch but don’t think we were near as good as that 18-4 record either. 20 wins and an NCAA invite next season will make continue to believe the trajectory is where it should be with this program under Archie. I don’t think that’s crazy or impossible.

That 18-4 stretch also included 5-6 bad non-con teams, but even so, that’s about 12-4 against some real great teams including Duke at Cameron Indoor. I saw plenty in the 18-4 and 6-2 stretch to recognize we made improvements. That 1-12 stretch demonstrated that it was a fragile progress for a young team with potentially some serious chemistry issues.

Watch this OSU building class. Liddell, Gaffney, Carton. Looking at adding a big physical center too. Watch out for this class to make noise.

Hopefully for them it turns out better then their last top 5 class of Lyle, Giddens, Mitchell, Harris and Grandstaff

Year 4 is the time to panic? Asking for a friend.
 

It's ok, you can use my name.  They know lol.

I wish there was a guarantee on being patient with a coach.  Until then I'm going to pick at things.  Like gameday preparation issues.  How many more years do we have to watch that?  If it's just one more year, I'm starting firearchiemiller.com

I don’t think people realize that there isn’t a one season fix and ultimatums are meaningless.

 

Three things:

You are right, a one season ultimatum is meaningless. In this case, however, year three will be upon us soon.

Your patience is admirable.

Are you available to conduct my year-end job review? It would be awesome if you could review my progress/job instead of my boss.  :)

Most pre season predictions in their first year disagree. They had IU around 5th in the BT and OSU 8-9.  Matta’s last two teams went to the NIT and then no tourney at all.
