If it was me, I'd take the firing + buyout in a heartbeat. It's not like his next job won't know exactly what happened at IU. Firing vs resigning is about the same thing for a failing coach. 

That's assuming they have made the decision to fire him already, correct?
Personally, I don't think they have

Watching Baylor last night, Drew would be fine but there is nothing sexy about that hire. It's meh ok.

Here’s a story about coaching that I was told by an old man who was a Kentucky fan:
My wife and I were returning home from a vacation in Charleston, SC right after mike Davis took over..
We had decided to get a room at a hotel on our way home which was on the Tennessee-Kentucky state line.
After checking in, we headed over to a restaurant/bar next door for drinks and dinner.
We sat next to this old man that was a Kentucky fan and started a conversation about the state of IU basketball.
The old man was pretty compassionate about the IU dilemma and stated that IU will go through 5 coaches before they find the one that will bring them back to the level they should be.
Archie is #5. Waiting now to see if this guy was some sort of savant. Hopefully he was.

I have definitely heard that being discussed. There is an executive session today at 1:30 with the Board of Trustees. I just wonder if that is athletic-related. Most likely not but @Treesh and I might need to drive wherever to check it out.

I live downtown Bloomington currently. Pick me up! They are probably meeting at Applebee's or O'Charley's for their late lunch ;)

My feeling about next year is that the nucleus likely coming back is not bad, and with some complementary interior pieces could be interesting.

But I have no optimism that’s true without a change.

You have heard they might be getting cold feet about parting ways?

Sorry, but if they can go anywhere in Bloomington to eat and they end up at Applebee’s or O’Charley’s, I don’t want them picking the Coach. That be some suspect decision-making right there.

Can't be seen at a popular establishment, they can't have people hearing the chatter ;)

We could be pretty darn good next year if natural improvement occurs, TJD returns, Parker turns out okay and maybe a transfer. Throw in Rob coming back for the hell of it LOL

Yes, I got a text about that during halftime of the MSU game. If you haven't seen the Indy Star article about how much money we've lost then check it out. We lost 6 million just from March of 20 to June 30 of 20. Wait till the rest comes out from July 1 2020 till July 2010. It's going to be big losses.

100% agree. Those don't make the top 50 in Bloomington. Even Fred Glass & Buckner met at Uptown each week when picking the next coach.

That's the whole problem for me is the "ifs".   And we need virtually every one of the "ifs" to materialize in order to have anything better than we had this season.  I just don't see that happening with our present situation.

Hey, me either but it's basketball, we live in a crazy world. Anything is possible! 

We might have better chances at winning a cake at a our local church cake walk - but there's a chance!

After reading through the various coach related threads, I might have to take a year vacation from the board if CAM is back next season.

If he's back next year I think the mods will give me a one year vacation after I **** all over the boards

They won’t get cold feet if they want fans to show up to assembly hall next season.

Kent Sterling posted a video to the other day and said he was walking through Cook Hall with JD Campbell. Archie was walking the other way and JD said hey Archie, there’s someone I want you to meet. And CAM completed ignored him and kept walking. That really rubbed me the wrong way

If you have ever met Kent, you would do the same thing. But I understand what your saying.

We can do 9 months if we come to a mutual parting of ways.
