If we're firing Archie for a mid-major guy no one on the board has even mentioned, then just keep Archie for another year. Save money and pray Brad Stevens decides he's ready to come home or whoever. Hiring a no-name is going to lose the fan-base even more. Indiana fans are greedy, it won't be pretty.

I say likely because I have no direct tie to the program other than season tickets. You don't vacate the head of any size program with no plan; I respectfully disagree that they'd fire then find a search committee. If CAM is done on our next loss and that decision has been made, all these things are already in motion and there's no way they're going to let the word get out on that. Including search committees, validating interest, etc. It's not a blind process. Oh I know they aren't going in blind. They've probably got an idea of candidates that they know are interested. I'm just saying that they probably haven't gotten anything lined up yet with a single candidate. Unless it's the guy in Boston. He's the exception to everything. darB s'tI and Chris007 2

I think that's where the scenario where @mamasa comes in. You fire Archie, you name an interim coach till the NBA season is over, and then hire Brad. lillurk, JaybobHoosier, thebigweave and 3 others 5 1

Having an interim for a long period of time would be concerning to the fan base potentially. This time tomorrow Archie could walk away on his own for all we know. Maybe we should keep an eye out for the news tomorrow around 4PM! thebigweave and jdp403 2

theriverpilot Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Not sure if it's been discussed, but how would you all feel about CAM getting fired, and one of the assistants being named interim (either for next season, or just until we get our guy)? Not advocating for or against, just trying to add a variable to the discussion. I’d think that would be a recruiting killer but just my opinion Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app lillurk, mamasa and VO5 3
lillurk Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Yeah you can do “interim” if you have good reason to: NBA coach handshake agreement, fired the last guy on short notice, had to change late in the hiring season, etc. I don’t see why you go out of your way to do it. Even if you have a big fish on the line and you’re waiting for their season to end, you can just keep your current coach. jdp403 and thebigweave 2

theriverpilot Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 But any more of a killer than having an obvious lame duck coach in charge?Keeping Archie another year would definitely be a lame duck situation and would hamper recruiting as well.
