Keep in mind this was a game where IU was still in the at-large picture in a must win game. People tuned it out. That’s not good it was pretty nice outside in indiana that day. we're outside living!
hper50 Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 I still don't think we buyout Archie for $10M to hire Fife. Although waiting one more year for that is just one year closer to Izzo's retirement pumpfake, Jeff_Boy_Ardee and Chris007 3

Although waiting one more year for that is just one year closer to Izzo's retirementFeel like Fife would still take the IU job if MSU was open at the same time. Or I hope he’d want to coach his alma mater over the Spartans at least. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners hper50 1

It's not a good look to lose 52 million in a year and then buy out a coach either. But here we are. Crazy times I definitely don't envy his position. It's not a good look to move on when losing 52 million in a year. It's also not a good look to NOT move on and possibly lose millions 5 years in the future due to inaction. There's money to be lost which ever way it goes. Chris007, pumpfake and taco corp 3

I assume you mean Dolson? You believe he's not ready to move on from Archie?

I don't think we buy out Archie for $10M for anyone other than Stevens, Donovan, Beard, Pearl, or Matta personally. Then again, maybe to the people doing the buying out, $10M spread out over several years is chump change. Jeff_Boy_Ardee 1

On the one hand, it was a rescheduled game, so some might have missed it for that reason. But I would be interested in the trend there, including the numbers for tomorrow and the BTT game if I were a decision-maker here Chris007 1

lillurk Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Lol. The tweet is written pretty neutrally, but if IU had beaten two of NW, MSU, OU, and Rutger at home they’d be 14-11 and probably just need one win to sleep easy on selection Sunday.

They'll save their money until next year. People with the kind of disposable money we are talking about didn't get that way making rash decisions. They are used to playing the long game to maximize returns. I can easily see them being willing to wait one more year to reduce the cost as well as secure the right replacement.

Now people might stop going, but they already paid for their tickets. They don't want to lose their points for when we do get a good coach. Also TV numbers have been the same, here towards the end it has very slightly decreased. That makes them the Chicago Bears. Get ready for years and years of sucky. darB s'tI 1
