Poor Archie....gone from Indiana..
- Thread starter IllQChawk
- Start date
Just goes to show all these Power 5 schools crying poverty over COVID is pure B.S.
That ship has sailed...too much baggage.
His Nevada team lost to Grand Canyon this year, enough said!
That won't happen, but what about Brice Drew the Grand Canyon coach?
Just as long as it's not John Beilein...
That would be very doubtful. Drew can run a very loose ship at Baylor.
Wouldn't be the first coach IU hired that ran a loose ship.
If I were Indiana and wanted to be a national title contender again, Pitino would be my first call.
Correct. Indiana must have got the boosters lined up to pay him the buyout. The boosters are not going to pony up to stop budget deficits. Long-term, fans have to be back in the stands to allow the coach salaries to be at the level they currently are at.
Since they fired Archie....well.........why not...
yeah, it seemed like he got off to a solid start but couldn’t ever get over the hump. Plus they haven’t beaten Purdue in years, the natives are getting restless...
indiana basketball is rapidly reaching Nebraska football levels of relevance.
Uh...that's Jugghead...Since they fired Archie....well.........why not...
I don't see them going mid-major again. Not sure who is out there that would move the needle for the fanbase. Beilein has a mountain of money and has a good gig on BTN. Maybe Bennett at UVA but not sure he wants to be on the front burner as the coach of IU. Possibly Chris Beard at Texas Tech? I am sure that job pays well but the free pass at IU is valid for 1-year.
Archie came from Dayton to IU. That would be a bad look if IU went back there again this soon.
Pastner is almost as sleazy as Pitino, just not as successful.
I think Fred Hoiberg is bound to jump to one of these good jobs. Nebraska is a dead end gig and he should get back to Ames if he can. Maybe Indiana.
Now that the rest of the world has caught up to the transfer game, I’m still reserving judgment of just how good of a coach he is. But I agree if I were him and someone offered, I’d take it.
It sucks that Miller was fired. They are almost bound to find someone better, or at least does better there.
Yet, they still managed to beat Iowa twice this year.
