After all the recruiting misses and another eventual middle B1G finish, what are realistic expectations for Archie to keep his job. 
 

This year won’t be great.  Next year will be worse.  Man, I had a feeling about this team. 
 

If I had more faith in Archie I could write this off as a bad game but I don’t have much faith in him straightening this out.  

Well it’s IU so Archie got at least 2 more years left.  Gotta at least let a guys 3rd recruiting class become seniors after all

Exactly. 

Missing layups left and right but forget about that - let's blame Archie

Our All-American is playing like complete **** ?!

Fire Archie ASAP!

We should have better basketball IQ as fans but that's clearly not the case.

The time invested in Brooks and Kaufman with no contingency plans are baffling to say the least to me. Hoping things get turned around but this looks more of the same to me from the past few seasons. Competition only gets harder from here - not going to play Tenn Tech every day

Decide for yourself what it implies.  I find it interesting that more people flock to these threads when we're playing bad.  It's awesome to share fandom with others in ups and downs but some only show when we're down.  Weird
I take it as either trolling or that so many only watch the bad games. Truth is when things are going well that doesn't lead to as much discussion or debate therefore a lack of posts.

So we're going to blame Archie for the missed shots and free throws?
Wild how the players have 24/7 access to a state of the art practice facility. 
Weird. 

I think people just long for the days when you’d see consistent improvement from players. Doesn’t really feel like any of the guys on the current squad who have been around for 2-3 years have seen big strides in their game. Yes it’s on them to get better and put the hours in but part of it stems from a motivating Coach. I don’t know just my 2 cents while watching this horrible display of basketball.

21% from the field. 12% from 3. 

NW Idaho Tech's B-team would beat us with those percentages

The trollers are known and obvious.  It's the others that baffle me.  I guess it's just their means of venting.

I don’t see a likely scenario where he makes it past next season personally. This team may well make the tourney but they look like a 8/9 seed at best. He Clearly has not recruited well enough to get higher than that for the next few seasons either.

I think we've seen dramatic improvement from Race and Al over the years. Rob's freshman and sophomore injuries have basically ruined his career. Everyone else is basically a puppy.

If you were a sales manager in charge of let's say 6 people. One of your expectations was to bring on new clients consistently but none of your 6 live up to their expectation individually. Is that indicative of them more so than you or vice versa?

Why piss and moan tho?  I mean we're all frustrated and want better from the coaches to players and the program overall.  I guess I'm cut from a different cloth.

If the fanbase didn’t piss and moan we would still have Crean. Squeaky wheel and what not
