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

How do you know he didn’t?

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). 

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

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

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

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

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:

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.

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.

I like the way you’re thinking.

I really don't see the thrill in anticipatory b******* but to each their own I guess. There will be plenty of time for that once an actual hire is announced. Personally, I can even wait for some actual results...not a hiring announcement but actual on the court results.

All speculation, but I was just thinking that I'd put the odds at ~80-85% that the next coach is on this list: Beard, Beilein, Drew, Musselman, and Oats. 

I like that list.

[Zachetology 282]

I think I cracked the code. If you rearrange the letters in CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL BEARD, you get CLAIM HOPE CHRIST BEAR HERD. We should all claim that hope.

[SteelerHoosier 2,586]

If we cannot have Stevens, I am all for Oats. Literally the only 2 candidates I would get excited about at the time of the hire.
