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.

Nothing good was going to happen after how his debut went.

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. 

He didn’t check all the boxes. His Dayton teams played some terrible games. They had games where they scored in the 40’s and low 50’s. His offense was a question mark before he ever arrived. His success at Dayton was after the A10 lost its top teams to another conference. He benefitted greatly from conference realignment. IU would be  in first if the top 9 teams all went to the ACC/SEC, that’s essentially what happened at Dayton. We also didn’t know how he would recruit at a high major level as the head coach.  The warning signs were there  

During that search period I remember debating those who wanted Archie as the top candidate. He was on my list but he was down in the 5-10 range. To be fair my number one choice turned out to be a tool and is unemployed last I looked, Gregg Marshall.

That's funny, because I thought it couldn't get much worse than that.  Boy was I wrong!

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.  

These hires at these salaries are always a risk but TA showed many signs of leadership, ability to turn a program and the ability to recruit.

TA was not an accident.

Went to the store today, saw a man and his wife wearing Purdue pullovers and found myself despising Archie Miller again.

I used to worry about other coaches negatively recruiting against us. Now I just watch us do it to ourselves every time I turn on the game. ESPN shows the rest of the world how horrible our offense is. I sure hope we find the right coach .

Are there any Archie defenders left? This is ridiculous to watch in year 4.

It's one of my all-time favorites.

In other news, IU announces the creation of a new degree program, you can now get a degree in Sports Management Economics with a specialty in contract buyouts.

Just FYI, that was the women’s game. Pretty sure cracky arena doesn’t have that much red in it.

I guarantee IU will make merchandise money be firing Archie.  He's turned all of my lucky shirts and hats to unlucky...I'll need new ones soon

[JSHoosier 19,568]

Well, we don't have to worry about killing recruiting by not extending him, the on court performance is doing that.  

[Hoosier Guy 7,472]

There’s no chance he’s back

[OldBuddy67 245]

Other than the 2 Iowa flukes this year how many times did Archie  actually beat some one he wasn’t supposed to??? Crickets.....

[rcbowla 6,734]

I'm not even sure you let him coach in the B1G tournament at this point. They will and they probably hope he wins the damn thing but they shouldn't let him.

Is Billy D walking on Kirkwood right now? It’s nice outside.
