We thought you were busy today. Come on if we can't believe your word, then what are we going to do. :-) I'm not lining up all of these restaurants to eat for nothing

Getting a late start to my activities today. 
Get ready for some great food this week. Add Fat Dan’s to the list!!

So you think if we do our homework to find someone better, will it for sure ultimately result in Archie being gone, or will Archie remain if certain targets aren’t interested? I didn’t know if it’d be a matter of him returning if we don’t hit our target, or will we just go down the list and it be someone other than Archie regardless. 

The way I take it is, once Dolson has found who he wants, take it back to the trustees and we get things rolling.

It was already on my list even though it is kind of a chain

I think we need to remember it's going to take some time. We can go get Matta or Beilein tomorrow but we really need to do our homework to see if there is someone better out there and that is going to take some time. 

As long as he ends up fired and we don’t screw up the next coach I’ll be happy. If we really could get Matta or Beilein (even though I don’t really want Beilein) then we need to fire Archie even if we strike out on our other candidates. Both would be improvements.

Archie has to know this is going on right? I mean Dolson is rumored to have said he and Archie were 100% on the same page.

Can we really go get them? Or is that just comparative expression? Either way I’m not mad if either is on SD’s short list.

I think if we were let in Assembly Hall right now we would find that Archie Miller doesn't have anything left in his office. Maybe he cleaned it for the NCAA tourney & doesn't trust Sampson coming back but I don't think that is the case.

If that is really the case I suspect the university will announce his departure anytime. Why wait if this really happened?

They need to, just to give the fan base some hope.

Did this happen after the Big Ten Tournament on Friday?

This...100%. That is why I'm not worried about if there isn't a presser today. If Archie Miller is truly safe, if I were him I would be pissed my boss didn't back me up (not that he deserves it) when almost everyone wants me out. 

Or the doomsday scenario. Dolson feels he doesn’t have to explain anything because Archie’s job isn’t in jeopardy. I definitely don’t believe that’s the case. I’m just laying out the doomsday scenario

I'd like to think the delay is giving Archie time to negotiate a new gig elsewhere and then resign vs. being terminated.  The outcome's the same but the public perception looks a little better.  Like putting lipstick on a pig.

He should want to leave. I’d want to leave. I think he will leave. I’m not going to leave.

He has to be a little hotter of a name this year than if he craps the bed again next year, then fired.

I've always found pigs strangely attractive. But, put lipstick on one.....irresistible!
