General Coach Candidate News

We could be pretty darn good next year if natural improvement occurs, TJD returns, Parker turns out okay and maybe a transfer. Throw in Rob coming back for the hell of it LOL 

People always think that and they're usually wrong.

I'll bite. 
We're talking a $10.35 million buy-out for Archie, which is a lot of money but could be less if he gets a job the next couple years. It could be less if Archie resigns and leaves some money on the table.
Nate Oats just accepted a new deal. His new deal includes a huge buy-out for next season and the following year. His buy-out next season is $12.5 million dollars. If he were bought out after March 14th of this month, it would be $7 million. However I'm unsure when the new deal kicks in so it could actually be way more than $7million.
Bottom line --- If Nate Oats is our next coach, we're going to need around $20million dollars plus. Archie's contract, the buy-out for Nate and the new contract for Nate. That goes for this off-season and next off-season in my very basic math sense. 

From what I’ve read, Oats seems like a really smart and creative basketball mind. I think that photo of his practices at Alabama with the tape on the court has been shared here, but that further illustrates the point that he keeps up with the times and his teams have success to show for it. I don’t think he’s a lock to be some HOF coach, but I think he’s worth the buyout and would bring pretty immediate success to IU like he’s done at Alabama.

Kent Sterling posted a video to the other day and said he was walking through Cook Hall with JD Campbell. Archie was walking the other way and JD said hey Archie, there’s someone I want you to meet. And CAM completed ignored him and kept walking. That really rubbed me the wrong way 

No one likes Kent Sterling. Archie doesn't need to meet him.

Say it ain't so.  I'd have to find someone new to jab on Prediction League.

It's going to be hard for Indiana to give maybe it's worst statistical coach a fifth year.  

Covid Pass?  I presume this is the only deliberation point.

He's lost the fans, the media, and the players.  I imagine he's lost the administration too.  

I've said this before, I think a stellar recruiting class would have immensely helped his case, but there again, he fails.

You don't have the guts.  What posters would possibly want to come in after me when they see the way I was fired?

Said it awhile back, the only way he's here next season is if the administration simply doesn't want to pay up.

It’s the perfect opportunity to find out how seriously IU takes the basketball program. We all speculate on that front, but if they bring Archie back we will finally have our answer and fans will react accordingly.

Me leading the Archie train next season!

Maybe the cold feet is actually a brilliant strategy.  You know how we would feel about a repeat, imagine if Archie came to grips with it, felt relieved and maybe has something lined up.  Then we say, hey we are going to wait a year.  Boom he feels the same way now we would and gets his new gig to pay us to let him leave early.  

A man can dream right.

If I'm Dolson, I'm asking one question: How is next year going to be any different than your first 4 years. If he says anything like, "We just have to keep doing what we are doing better," he gone...

Can't wait to see Brad Stevens dancing when he wins in 4 years at Indiana!

The buyout is just an excuse for the administration. The buyout becomes much less of an issue when you look at how it’s paid. 

They don’t need $10 million to hand to him the day they fire him. They need up to $10 million, paid in monthly installments for the next three years, offset by whatever he makes at the job he’s contractually obligated to search for after he gets fired.
