Same. I can’t do a three year rebuild after the five year rebuild we just finished with. It doesn’t get more underwhelming than that list. 

Me too. Should’ve kept Archie until the summer when Brad is forced to leave (assuming Tatum or Brown request a trade which I fully expect). 

[Trish 11,517]

Scott really fired every Dayton guy on the staff. Even the GA’s probably got sent packing. Damn

Your whole "I'm a better fan than you" schtick is honestly getting really tiring. Fans are allowed to have expectations for the teams they root for. IU has failed to meet those expectations for the past two decades. The only embarrassing thing here has been IU basketball for the past 20 years.  That's why we're a national laughing stock. 

I don't know, some of us find the whole Chicken Little, "The sky is falling!" thing to have gone far beyond obnoxious already.

Why didn’t Archie have more? Doesn’t make sense

How do you know he didn’t?

I 100% would rather have put up with a 5th Archie season than hire Cheaney, Woodson, or Smart. At least we could have fired Archie at the end of the year. Hire one of those guys and you’re stuck with them for the next 3-4 years. I refuse to believe that Scott Dolson got $10 million from a donor to fire Archie just to hire someone with no college head coaching experience. Unless one of them paid Dolson $10 million to get the job. Lol.

I guess I don’t I just assumed they didn’t have a player development guy

Must’ve realized that everyone wins at Dayton and they didn’t know what they were doing.

That’s what happens when the only information coming out is bad information. Go five years without making the tournament or beating Purdue and then find out that Mike Woodson and Calbert Cheaney are candidates for the job and that’s what happens.

My only argument with this is I feel they would’ve been hired by now. We will see what happens.

Literally 29-2 a few seasons after the great Archie Miller left

If this goes into next week they are getting someone good I think.

I think someone mentioned earlier that Oats' buyout drops precipitously after the first year. Here are some more details:

https://www.al.com/alabamabasketball/2021/02/details-on-nate-oats-new-19-million-contract-buyout-structure.html

Definitely doesn't seem like the structure that someone 100% committed to staying in Tuscaloosa long-term would seek. It's also interesting that he signed a big (for them) extension with Buffalo just a couple weeks before leaving for Alabama.

[JVIU98 171]

I wish some of these posters that say they won’t come back if it is X, Y, or Z would go ahead and go. If you feel like the new hire suits you, come back then. This process is hard enough to deal with without listening to complaining before there is even an action taken.

Buffalo to Tuscaloosa to Bloomington would at least be heading in the right direction.....

If we hire one of the names Rick Bozich just mentioned, I'm going to ask the mods to delete my account.

Fully agreed my man. Your posts have been great the past two days!!

Assuming that Stevens was considering the job last week, we only have had 1 week to interview people.

Assuming Dolson is putting time and consideration into everyone's interview, that is not a lot of time. I hope he interviews as many people as he needs to and gives them all consideration.

Heck, when I was hired, the interview process at my company had 4 interviews (the fourth was just to discuss salary) and took several weeks.
