So is Joey brunk the only player who has thanked or supported archie in any way. This is odd that more players aren't loyal to him imo.

TJD thanked him on Snapchat.

Still telling that not much support from current or previous players. I still question these last 6 games if some players weren't losing on purpose

Hasn't said anything yet but between him and Chris they are gold.

Been at work today so I wanted to give my thoughts on Archie: 

1) I really thought he would win at IU. I thought year one was a wash and years 2 and 3 would be eh but I thought by year four this program would be a contender. 

2) He took over a mess on and off the court. He did not inherit a Big Ten roster. It's been said the APR issues hurt him. That is why really in year one I didn't hold that season against him. 

3) He lost the fan base in year two by losing 12/13. Romeo was overhyped but still was a good college player that was poorly used. I feel Archie was afraid of coaching him and that pissed the team off. He and Juwan were the best 1-2 punch since Vic-Cody. That team should've been a 6/7 seed and they blew it.

4) Year three was probably the best team he's had and that's not saying much. Would've been a 10 seed but they still had a bad four game losing streak that hurt them and cost them a seed line. 

5) He 100% absolutely had to make the tournament this year. Three/four weeks ago they were in. That six game losing streak was the final nail in the coffin as Chris called. 

Overall, I don't think the players really liked playing for Archie. He's had enough talent to make the tournament. Also, you can't go 0-7 against Purdue. Just can't happen. He lost all momentum in this program. He pretty much whiffed on the 2018 recruiting class outside of Romeo. He had to hit on that one. 

Props to Scott Dolson for doing the right thing. I really think Fred Glass keeps him for another year. I do think Indiana has a short list of proven guys. We will see. All I'm saying is let's give whoever it is a chance. As long as it's a proven winner and NOT a gamble I'm happy. I just want Indiana to make deep runs in the tournament and eventually hopeful that they will come out on top once.  I've been a fan since the late 90's. Really only the 2002, 2012, 2013, and 2016 teams are considered "great" IU teams.

I’ve been considering this as well. I think the underlying tone and effort makes it a worthy thought. Maybe not each player individually but collectively.

They pay it out monthly over the rest of the contract. So evenly over the next three years. 

So basically $300,000 per month to not coach at IU.  He'll get another job and that will lighten it some, but it's a good chunk of change.

It looks like the airline lost Crean's luggage and he had to ask Jeremiah April if he could borrow some clothes.

That’s so old school. It’s all virtual these days.

My wife just told me that I'm in such a good mood she wishes IU could fire Archie Miller every day.  That's a good thing, right?

I want to say yes, but the reality is that means we have SUCKED for a long period of time now.  That is the real reason you were in a bad mood.  :).

I read one article -- I've perused so many by now, I can't remember where it came from -- that said Archie met with administration earlier this month and was under the impression he had another year. That seems a little implausible to me. As the calendar turned, we were already in a downward spiral -- from which it seemed there was no recovery. I have a hard time believing Archie was blindsided by yesterday's chat with Dolson.

I was told he cleaned out his office before we played last Thursday. So I'm not buying that either.

I'm disappointed that she is one person I never saw in town. Saw him many times but never saw her.
