Archie. Miller. Fired.

[IUrocker 2,170]

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being definitely gone...what’s the chance of Archie being gone this season, regardless of who we get to replace him?

How confident are you that IU makes a great hire when the job opens?

1. Lol. I wholeheartedly expect them to screw it up.

And in business, if those with the authority to make the decisions about who to hire and they keep ******* it up, what happens?!  They're gone!  Wish that were the case.

Dolson hasn't ****ed anything up, YET!  Have faith young grasshopper!

They tried to f*** up football when they replaced Wilson with the first guy to walk in, Tom Allen. Coach Allen shocked them and has the f-ball program on the best track since Mallory. I'm not expecting Archie to be replaced by Mike Roberts but outside of Stevens or a guy with a great track record, any hire whether its a mid-major guy or a younger Power 5 coach like Oats is still a crapshoot.

[Ryno6284 2,645]

That's the thing, none of us know who that guy is, but I think we can all agree Archie ain't it!

Fred Glass said the last decision was 100% his.  He's gone.  So now it should be 100% Dolson.  

I'm confused by what you mean.

They really got lucky with Allen. He’s amazing and I’m really glad they went with him, but man that was a big risk. 
 

The crapshoot is why I’m such a big pusher of Thad Matta. I’d rather take a risk on a guy like him being healthy than take a risk on a mid-major guy being able to coach. If Matta is healthy, we know what he can do. I don’t trust them to be able to find the right up-and-comer. Archie checked all the boxes and he was still a massive flop.

Yep, get the best coach available. No reason to try to out-smart the room and find the next hotness, just hire someone you already know is a good coach.

It’s finally catching on.

Archie Ain’t It!

Big risk, but big reward.  I don't think they got lucky.  Allen took his opportuinty and made the most out of it.  Just hope he sticks around for a long time (assuming he keeps it up).  Most coaches crap the bed.

Both Archie and Sean Miller get canned this weekend?

[NOLA Hoosier 1,267]

Almost there. Get tomorrow and whatever game in B1G out of the way and we are home free. 
 

I hope

(Sigh...)
I've posted this before, but maybe if I post it in all caps, enough IU fans who get on the Internet might notice it:
 
THE BUYOUT IS NOT $10 MILLION UP FRONT. 
 
I hope more eyeballs start seeing this. Our athletic department probably wants our fans to think the buyout is too much money so we'll resign ourselves to our fate and they won't have to do anything. Everyone please learn how this stuff works. 

Brother I’m completely aware of that. It won’t matter if the 10 mil is on a k-mart layaway for a year, 10 is still 10 and 3 is still 3.

The buy out doesn't drop till April 22 of next year? If thats the case waiting till then is way to long anyhow so the buyout is irrelevant. Just fire him after today's game another loss to purdue is plenty.

First off, thanks for posting, my question is do you know if these 5 students are all friends(in the same click)?  Was it just 5 random kids that you don't normally seeing hanging together?  Curious minds need to know.  

Not that I know. Aside from having the same major, they seem pretty different to me! It’s interesting to get the student perspective. So many I have heard from talk about football this year instead of basketball.

I was in the gym this morning and someone asked how much longer Miller would be there.  The way this program has been run, too long.
