Even if you think $10 mil was too much to spend to get rid of Archie, it was time for him to go.  I absolutely hated hearing those boooos during their last game.  I felt awful for Archie and more importantly the players.  However, if he stayed, it would have snowballed into every crevice and crack of IU Men's basketball.  There is no way I would want to see that done to Archie.  He gave it his best shot and did not get any good luck along the way.  You can say IF this would have happened, or IF that would have happened, but we only have what did happen.  I wish him the best of luck and I am pretty sure he will make it out of this valley but we had to have a new direction with some hope.  Any of the candidates that we get will give that, another year with CAM would not, IMHO.

It sounds easy to just fire him and hire a great coach, but we very may well strike-out this time around. 

We easily could've kept on to him throughout the summer and early next season. Fire him 3 games in. Conduct a nation wide search for four months, have Miller be the interim (we finally have an Indiana guy!), and Brad Stevens seems more likely. 

We're going to suck next year regardless.

Five years ago, Beard took the job at UNLV.  Two weeks later, the job at Texas Tech (where he was very well connected) became open. He said to UNLV "Um guys, on second thought ... " 

Imagine this scenario ... 


Can you imagine had we hired Beard and the Texas job comes open (reportedly his dream job), he goes into Dolson's office and says, "Um, Scott ... "

You would hope nobody would renege on us for Texas -- but as a wise wan once said: "You never know."

We might suck next year, and probably will, but at least I am looking forward to it.  I don't see any scenario in which I would have been excited or anxious for another year of what we have seen the last 4.  Your scenario about keeping him on would have been brutal for everybody, players, coaches, fans.  The only people that would have liked it would have been the media.

Yeah I’m only on there because it was like a dollar for the first month. I’m about to call again and cancel. Those guys don’t know $h!t

I was on there for a few years. Their recruiting coverage is pretty good, they do great scouting write ups of potential targets that I really enjoyed. 

But yeah I wouldn't think they would know anything about the coaching search since nobody does other than SD.
