IUc2016 Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 But we're also paying him 3.5 million to coach next year and the buyout. So not really saving 7 million unless I'm missing something.You have to pay the coach who is going to coach next year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app MikeRoberts 1

It was said that the buyout had been raised. if that is inaccurate let me know. if true, then you have a clean slate to hire. We’re going to pay a coach regardless so whether it’s Archie or X it doesn’t matter, we’re going to pay someone $3+ million. Every school thinking about making an upgrade is thinking Bout Covid this year. That will stop some from cutting ties and chasing bigger fish. Positively, assuming next year is not a Covid year, there will be a ton of change. When you want to be at the top of the pecking order, that’s not good for you Yeah, idk what to say to this. Money could get there but no way it isn't an issue. That's the way that the world goes round. EDIT: RIP John Prine and screw COVID-19 lillurk and MemphisHoosier 2

I make roughly 5% of what Archie makes and I feel sure I would be at least 8% the Coach. So the math works. Additionally, my offense would be at minimum 1,000,000% more interesting to watch. Sure, the last time I was on a sideline Reagan was President, but my back is way better than Matta’s. Stuhoo, Josh, lillurk and 8 others 10 1

ap2345 Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 For the guys that think IU needs to pay a great amount of money for the next coach maybe they will. But there will be coaches with resumes who will be interested that won’t require a big contract to start with. I would encourage everyone to listen to the Hoosier hysterics podcast with Brian Evans. Brian talks about when Cal wanted the job and it shows just how incompetent the IU administration was when Sampson and Crean got hired and also how some coaches view certain jobs. I would also say you could skip ahead to the part about Cal because it was a long podcast. MikeRoberts 1

Standing in the corner all the time on offense and doing nothing. Franklin got used at times like that this year. That's a coaching decision that I don't understand. Kind of like Leal standing wide open on the wing begging for the ball and Al, Rob, or Franklin driving into the lane, forcing up a wild shot and never passing it back out. darB s'tI 1

Lol...yep, unless there’s some actual legitimacy to the rumor that guy said he heard, it definitely seems like one that’s pretty easy to falsely start knowing Matta is Archie’s mentor and good friend, but I guess you never know. People who think it could be true are saying Archie could just be tired of the losing and seems defeated, thinking it could be best for both sides to move on. I do agree that Archie has looked at times downright depressed, but a part of me still thinks he isn’t the type of guy to step away from something this big on his own...I guess we’ll see.
