Obviously IU could bring in a more talented big man, but even then, depth never hurt. I don't want Race or Jordan playing the 5! I hope we can get Duncomb to stay committed... I was pretty excited to see him play in Bloomington. Hippopotamo, FritzIam4IU, GloryDays and 1 other 4 Quote
Popular Post Crimson and Cream Posted March 15, 2021 Popular Post Posted March 15, 2021 Nothing would make me happier than to see a new coach come in and fix Rob's consistency/confidence issue so he can finish his IU career out strong. I hope he sticks this out. IUsafety, OliviaPope40, MemphisHoosier and 10 others 13 Quote

Alford Bailey Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 Players would be wise to wait and see who the new coach is. Could be very beneficial to them. Class of '66 Old Fart and RaceToTheTop 2 Quote
MemphisHoosier Posted March 15, 2021 Posted March 15, 2021 The first thing the new coach needs to do is bring in a sports psychologist. From the outside, the team's psyche appears to be shattered across the board. Agree with you100% - @Crimson and Cream Alford Bailey, go iu bb, Evariste Galois and 4 others 7 Quote

I think he is gone but would love to see one more year with the new coach. lillurk, WayneFleekHoosier, Josh and 2 others 5 Quote

I think Al's quick entrance into the transfer portal probably was indicative that he was going to go for a fifth year and transfer regardless of who was coaching at IU. Can't say that he didn't get an opportunity at IU -- got really good minutes for four years. I assume he'll transfer closer to home for his last year. Someone had mentioned him possibly transferring to Georgia which would make sense.....play under the coach that recruited him to Indiana and play in his home state. While he took some heat on this board, I'll always appreciate what he did here. Hope he does well, but like Maurice Creek who transferred near home, if he excels elsewhere it would pain me. hoosierdogg, GloryDays, lillurk and 4 others 7 Quote
HoosierFan1994 Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 I think most of these guys are going to wait it out-as they should. That doesn't surprise me. If it's a legit proven winner (Brad, Beilein, Drew, Beard) I think the majority will stay. I think Trayce should consider coming back if it's the right coach. I think Ayo was in a similar situation last year. Late 2nd rounder. Look at the season he had. I know they play different positions but still. Trayce could really improve and play himself into a better draft slot. FWHoosier84 and lillurk 2 Quote

rcbowla Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 Personally I still believe in Rob with a good coach. Hope he stays. Franklin and Race would be the biggest 2 to stay if they do.Sent from my SM-T500 using Tapatalk JaybobHoosier, BGleas, MemphisHoosier and 1 other 4 Quote
LamarCheeks Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 I still maintain there was some sort of disconnect between the players and Archie. I just got the impression they didn't like him -- or didn't like playing for him. While I imagine they are probably a little shaken that their coach is gone, I can't imagine any of them shedding any tears over his departure. Don't have any idea what his relationship was like with his players at Dayton, but at IU, it almost just seemed nonexistent. WayneFleekHoosier, JaybobHoosier, FWHoosier84 and 2 others 5 Quote
cleeter Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 what was the text?Rumor has it, His mom texted him after the Purdue game and said he was no better than “a f***ing used car salesman”. Then he doesn’t play a single second against Rutgers after that. ebridges24 and FWHoosier84 1 1 Quote

Lack of respect? I’ve yet to figure it out. Probably never will. I think it’s more that Archie forced his style on these guys and they begrudgingly tried to accomplish his demands assuming it would result in wins. As the losses piled up, the hatred for the systems deepened? Or is it more of a interpersonal thing. They seemed to like Cliff, but everyone likes Cliff.

He has the professional pedigree with scores of NFL players that can attest to his approach. I think that always resonated with the players. FWHoosier84 and WayneFleekHoosier 2 Quote
