I know we’re not even 24 hours out from the final buzzer, but I get more and more sick to my stomach with each passing hour. 

Go grab some dinner Jones. Nothing is happening tonight. 
 

Scott probably has meetings out his butt and is dealing with the IU baseball team situation.

I’m going back and forth with him on that. Doesn’t make sense that there would be “zero pressure” or that he would even know less than 24 hours after our last loss. 

Used to be on Peegs and really enjoyed Rabby. But couldn't stand Brian Snow, that dude is a piece of work. 

Archie may be back next year, but he is lying.

Snow is an Archie supporter correct? 

Snow is an Ohio State supporter. So... by extension I'd say yes.

I know. I just thought there might be more smoke by now. Plus I could use some good news with March hitting its stride today and we’re done for the year.

Makes sense. Crean at least had successful seasons, recruited well, resurrected our program, and won B1G championships. 

Archie has done nothing except disappoint. I'd like to think he'd resign but he just doesn't seem like that kinda person and I totally get it - he wants his moolah. 

Archie isn’t very charismatic either. He doesn’t strike me as the schmoozing type. That combined with his god awful results and it’s no surprise he doesn’t have any backers.

I don't think he'll be fired until the tournament is over. All the coaches we'd go after are still coaching other than a few (Beilein, Matta, Fife, etc). At least the ones we're hoping for are still coaching There isn't much we can do until they're done. That guy in Boston will be coaching for a while. Can't imagine he'd talk to us before his season is over, if at all.

He just had a week off. You don't think IU reached out during his all-star break?

I don't. Maybe they sent feelers out to people around him but that's about it. 

Brad seems like the kind of guy that might take offense to someone contacting him about leaving his current job while he still has it. He's too ethical to give an answer. But his friends, people near him, they might give us a hint. If we want a guy like Brad, timing is going to be a HUGE part of making that happen. 

[Unexpectedflash]

If we're going to fire Archie I hope it's earlier even if the next coach isn't announced for a while. Let Archie and the rest of the coaches try and find new jobs. We'd be doing a disservice to them by keeping them longer. 

[IUHAHN81]

I don't give a damn WHAT Brad's doing. Coaching, All Star break, renewing his wedding vows, reach out and don't stop! 

[LIHoosier]

Break between B1G tourney sessions. Its either now or Monday morning cuz 'Hey, 50 other teams may have to cancel.'

Brian Snow is reporting on Peegs that Archie is not under any pressure and that there has been no talk of removing him as coach this year. He also said that no one in the industry has heard of the IU just coming open. I will say I have heard the exact opposite. Not sure if he is just trying to protect Archie but it was laughable what he wrote. 

I imagine Snow’s source here has a name that rhymes with Farchie Thriller

[Hoosierfan2017]

I don’t know how connected Snow is but it’s laughable to claim there’s “no pressure.” You don’t go winless against your biggest rival over your four years and miss the NCAA tournament when it’s being held entirely in your state and then face no pressure.

We also just suffered a 3-game season sweep by Rutgers. Freaking Rutgers.

More seriously, this is carefully worded:

”not under any pressure”: no ultimatum, probably. Other forms of pressure? IDK, he won’t be poor if he’s out a job.

“no talk of removing him”: no talk between whom?

”no one has heard about the IU job being open”: well it isn’t open, so this is technically true as worded. He doesn’t say “no talk it might open”

He has always been my least favorite contributor over there, and it is really not even close. I usually avoid all of his articles.

The president..Jesus Christ. Can we deport Mcrobbie yet

Well, even if we don't go after Drew maybe there's a role in this process for him. He's rumored to have experience in the deportation department.

Brian snow enjoys IU being down, dudes a major ohio state homer.

Archie Miller makes (roughly) $9,000 every day at IU.

The clock is ticking.  End this!
