Not sure who they could hire, but he's probably done.

Except AD Gene Smith gave him an extension after last season that upped his buyout to $20 million.  He probably has one more year given this is the first really bad year plus last year's and this year's recruiting classes were good.  But this is a horrible look.....right now they are playing like they are Minnesota.

John Calipari?   :-D

Doing a little AP poll voter logic experiment…IU is going to end up as high as 12th or 13th tomorrow. Might jump TCU, Kansas St., Iowa St., Xavier, and even Marquette. I’d probably bet they end up at 14th if I had to pick one particular spot.

Honestly... They could probably afford it. 

[lillurk 3,690]

I think this probably is the end of the line for Cal at UK one way or another. I don’t know if he’s OSU’s style and I wonder if he doesn’t just retire or do TV. I would not be surprised at all if he doesn’t take another college job.

Basketball is second fiddle at OSU.  And that contract extension they gave Holtmann foolishly after last season guarantees full payment of his salary -- with $450,000 raises EACH year -- through 2027-28.  That's a full $20 million buyout -- twice the dollar figure that it cost IU to buyout Archie Miller.

If Archie would have started off as well as Holtmann did, I would imagine that IU foolishly would have extended him in the same manner.

O$U is a football school and I don't think he'd want to play second fiddle.  He's 64 and my money would be moving into TV rather than another coaching gig.

Agreed, and I imagine he’ll be good on tv. I think he’d take an nba job but I doubt they’re calling.

Who says basketball is a non-contact sport?

Imagine firing the guy bringing in the #1 recruiting class.

Wtf man. Look how close the older guy was to hitting his head on that bottom step! He might have even hit it.

I thought with the departure of Nance Northwestern would really struggle this year. They're a true anomaly with their road record. Hope they beat Purdue and use up all their makes for the week ;)

Make them use up all of their energy

I’ll root for Purdue failure all day every day, but that wasn’t a flagrant on Gillis.
