Class of '66 Old Fart Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Seen multiple reports that Little Ricky already has an interview lined up at New Mexico for tomorrow. He can see the writing on the walls in Minnesota. I'm certain this isn't any tactic to get a raise or contract extension. woodenshoemanHoosierfan, lillurk and JaybobHoosier 3

Or any high-profile coach, for that matter. It’s a perfect time to speed up the process of being competitive. Get the right guy, and you awaken a fan base that is largely asleep and growing apathetic, or keep the same coach, and lose even more on the program next year. It really doesn’t seem like a tough call. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Yes, With this years unusual transfer and eligibility rules this could potentially be one of the best times EVER to make a coaching change. The right coach could possibly get some impact guys quickly while I highly doubt “dead man walking” Archie will be able attract quality transfers.

He took over at San Diego State after being Steve Fisher's longtime right-hand man there and at Michigan. And of course, his pop coached for years at The Barn. Class of '66 Old Fart 1

I’m sure he is a great person but that’s not worthy of being a fan of him keeping his job. To be clear I’m ready for change but only if it’s the correct change. I think he’s the best X’s and O’s Coach we since Sampson and maybe Knight. Obviously not better than Knight, but he knows basketball. That’s why I like him. He’s a basketball coach. Just hasn’t won here and his recruits haven’t panned out. theriverpilot, MikeRoberts, Feathery and 1 other 2 1 1
IUc2016 Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Archie fans (just me I guess) we’re going to make it two full days with Archie staying! The train stays rolling! LOLI am an Archie fan too, Always have been. I thought he would do well here but it’s not the case. I think he is a good person and has represented the university well. Unlike the last two coaches there has been no off the court controversies and he has recruited great kids. But in the end He has failed here on the court. Miserably. I will always root for him, just will be a lot easier to root for him as a coach of another team. It’s time for him to go. If he is back I will support him, but like most I will not expect anything different than what we have seen. It will take a Major turnaround next year for me to think he deserves to coach here. I mean major. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER, MikeRoberts and Trish 3
Indiana8585 Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) He’s the worst coach in almost a century of IU hoops in his four years, I don’t know how on earth people could support him coming back. He’s nowhere near Sampson, who’s been successful at Oklahoma, Would of been here had it not been for a dumb rule the ncaa changed two years later and now at Houston he’s been doing great. Crean won two outright big ten titles so regardless of his traits or likability he at least won something. Archie has a brief successful stint at Dayton that’s it, I’m not sure how he’s considered some great coach when he’s been awful at his first big job.

Indiana8585 Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) I was a student when Sampson was there and he could flat out coach and didn’t even need the phone call problem. When you look at what has gone unpunished at UNCheat and other places it’s frustrating we got hit so hard for telling on ourselves. In ten years at OU he made the tourney 9 times, won 3 Big 12 conference tournament titles, and 1 Regular season title. Also made 3 S16’s, 2 EE’s, and 1 final four. Now at Houston he’s made four straight well three since last year tourney appearances barely losing in the S16 two years ago. Edited March 13, 2021 by Indiana8585 MikeRoberts, kottke and Rookie33 3

He may know X’s and O’s to a degree but he doesn’t know roster construction or how to build for the modem game. Recruiting/roster construction is his biggest issue and it hasn’t been fixed for 4 years. lillurk 1
Popular Post LamarCheeks Posted March 13, 2021 Popular Post Posted March 13, 2021 Not bashing anybody, but I've always found it hugely ironic that at the top of Kelvin Sampson's list of achievements is a trip to the Final Four.

lillurk Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Impossible to tell if Archie’s a good Xs and Os coach since he has no interest in preventing opponents from shooting threes OR creating threes for his offense. It’s as though he doesn’t know they’re worth an extra point 323SGrant and woodenshoemanHoosierfan 2
