Archie. Miller. Fired.

[ap2345]

Not sure where the Friday announcement stuff came from but here are the coaches that I could see being announced before the tournament concludes in no order.

1. Stevens 

2. Alford

3. Cheaney

4. Mack

5. Matta 

6. Beilein

Now that this is over. I will say from last year to this year lots of boosters got the feeling that they didn't care for Archie, thought he was arrogant. Then about three weeks ago, maybe a month I was told if he lost the final 6 games he was done. About that time I was told Dolson had started reaching out to boosters to see if they would willing to put up buyout money. Most said yes but they all wanted to know who he was going to get. Then started to put out feelers to gauge interest. He got a good idea that there would be interest. Last Thursday he met with the athletic board, they wanted Archie gone and their #1 choice was Stevens, this weekend met with trustees. I think it dragged out a little longer than we thought. Scott knew what he was doing the whole time. I will try to answer any questions you have. I don't know that much about the search.

Bring that baby faced sum buck on home Scott! The timing is right!

Cheaney is on the Pacers currently, although I assume it'd be a little easier to break off a contract being an assistant as opposed to Stevens as the HC

All $ associated with the transition.....so that would mean if a buyout is necessary of another coach as well? I am very happy but most go back to sleep now.

Apparently there is a press conference later today per the Big Ten Network.

Great, I got nothing done earlier and now I have to go home early.  I might get Archied from work today but it'll be worth it

U think there’s any chance?

[IUrocker]

The thing I’m wondering is let’s say it is indeed Stevens, would they announce that before he’s done with his NBA season, or no way?

I don't think he will be a candidate but I do know that he only keeps stats for shots taken and rebounds right now during games, so he would probably take an upgrade

We will have beers at a football game to celebrate or a basketball game whichever. Thank you

If you reveal who you actually are you likely never have to buy a beer, or hell, meal, in Bloomington ever again.

Always a chance but don't really now

Hope Dolson's definition of significant upgrade is the same as mine.

Alright guys, I can finally catch up on the thread. Have I missed anything?? 
 

Minus.. the news.

How do we interpret that?  The most important player on the team.  Would like to keep TJD, Lander, Race, and Franklin.  Those are my top 4

Of course he is going to be sad.  Archie is the reason he came to IU.  In the long run it doesn't matter.  If getting rid of Miller is the right move, then the players will come.   Next year might be rough, but realistically it isn't going to be any worse than this year.

This is so bizarre. 

Four years ago on a March morning, I took my dog for our daily walk. She's very demanding, so she insists we go about the same time every day and doesn't want me messing on the cellie or what not -- so I leave all that stuff behind. It's just she and I and nature. An hour or so later, we get home and I have a flood of texts about the firing of CTC. 

A few days later, same thing -- me, the hound and nature. I get home to a flood of texts about the hiring of CAM. 

And today, wouldn't you know it -- same damn thing. I even waited a little longer than usual -- just to see if any news broke on this front -- and: nothing. Then the pooch and I leave and -- the hammer falls. And I come home to a flood of texts, etc. 

 

If it isn't too much trouble could you take the dog for another walk? I am anxious to find out who will be coaching IUB next season.

[Stuhoo]

If it’s 4:00 today I’m guessing Matta or Beilien

Of course it is! Here’s the thing with Dolson. He knows and wants what we all want. He’s been at IU for years and had firsthand sight of IU at its best! He will get it right! Has to!
