I don't want to hear any excuses that involve money in regards to Archie Miller's job status. I think this means Archie is staying, we're hiring a young pup next year and we're making football the top priority. I could be wrong though..

If I were cutting a check to buyout the current coach, I would absolutely want to have some assurances that we had a hot lead on someone I felt confident that we could get. Is this something that happens? Zero chance I fork big dollars out without having some idea who the realistic targets were. I find it hard to believe others wouldn’t be just as prudent with their money. Missed this. Sure, IU back channels to agents. But for the most part it remains agents- but better believe those agents have a feel for where their client is at. My assumption is it remains that way due to the coaching fraternity and it's kinda unwritten rules. So, yeah, donors aren't going in completely blind- and will sure let their opinion be known as they cut any type of check. thebigweave, IUc2016, lillurk and 4 others 7

Banksyrules Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 I’m all for paying Allen whatever he wants. The Football program (from what I see from UNC) is the main source of income that helps all other sports flourish. And then some. Not right now, but this can help IU basketball a ton.

IUrocker Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Hopefully the TA raise, which he does indeed deserve, won’t have anything to do with putting a limitation on getting a high end basketball coach. Maybe it’s just a matter of Dolson just taking the reigns and saying “Let’s get Tom what he deserves, and now let’s get basketball back on top.” lillurk and janaslama 2

But what does it mean for Dolson and IU basketball I doubt it’s bad. The FB hiring cycle is over and Allen didn’t get poached, seemed to want to stay. They probably didn’t absolutely need to do it to keep him this year. Might be a good sign about fall season ticket sales. Presumably it helps fend off rumors this fall and beyond. As @Banksyrules mentions, it’ll be good for the whole AD and basketball for FB to keep kicking tail. I wonder if it even helps the BB search because of that, and because (as @Chris007 just pointed out), it says we’re serious about paying, now and even more when you’re successful. thebigweave, JaybobHoosier and Toothdr 3
WayneFleekHoosier Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Wow. 4.9M per season. if we offer 5 or so for basketball, how many doors does that open up? let’s go!!!!!!!!!!! thebigweave, LIHoosier, HoosierTrav and 2 others 5

I'm only okay if we're paying $6million to the right candidate. $6-$7million needs to be Brad Stevens - Chris Beard level.
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Maybe the donors said "NO" to an Archie buyout but "YES" to an Allen raise since we're now a football school. ALASKA HOOSIER, Trish, JaybobHoosier and 4 others 5 1 1
8bucks Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 33 minutes ago, Chris007 said: If those are the candidates for BC, then we should be able to get some good ones. It's been mentioned to me a couple of times by different people that IU doesn't want an up and comer, they want a proven winner from a P5 conference. Ok can someone put together a list of P5 coaches? Maybe we can help Scott out. What is the P5 now. JaybobHoosier 1
Hippopotamo Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Coach Allen getting a raise can only help IU Basketball in my opinion. IU football becoming a strong program will help a lot with $$$ for the university, and his raise shows that IU has the money to pay for successful coaches. thebigweave, theriverpilot, mamasa and 1 other 4

rcbowla Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 As others have said I'd say this bodes well for the current basketball situation. 1) if $ was so tight like it was thought to be I doubt you give TA a raise at this time 2) it shows that we have an AD that'll pay good money for results. I agree with Treesh that if we're paying $5.5M+ it better be for a top end coach.Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk Hippopotamo, MemphisHoosier, lillurk and 3 others 6

Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk If you find a great football coach that wants to stay, you take out a loan to pay his salary. The money you get back (only from UNC experience) is ridiculous.
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 So we divide Allen's new salary by the standard number of games played then multiply that number times the number of games in a standard basketball season and whoa Nellie even Brad Stevens can't turn that down. lol thebigweave, lillurk and Josh 1 2
