Poor Archie....gone from Indiana..

[mstp1992]

Just goes to show all these Power 5 schools crying poverty over COVID is pure B.S.

Wrong.

IU will pay Miller $10,350,000 per the buyout in his contract, funded entirely by private donors, according to a statement released Monday from Dolson. Miller’s buyout includes 100% of his remaining annual base salary of $550,000, his “outside, marketing, and promotional income” totaling $1,850,000 for the 2022 season, $1,900,000 in 2023 and $1,950,000 in 2024, along with his $1,000,000 annual deferred compensation.

Indiana buyout

 

[24 so far]

The buy money all came for "philanthropic" donations.

Which every Power 5 school has, aside from "other" things monetarily.

Indiana buyout

Is it a "private donor" that supports Iowa? If not, it's Power 5 money, in this case specifically for Indiana. If you're not smart enough to realize this is how it works everywhere, I can't help you.

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.

Fred's buyout is $22m according to the article someone linked.
Guessing he stays in Lincoln.

If Patino leaves Iona, any chance we would get back in on Trey James?

What the hell are you talking about?

Indy is going to want to make a big hire, and I have to believe that money is no object. The football team might actually fill the stadium next year, so they might have some extra money to spend on their favorite sport.

But, I have no idea who that would be. Brad Stevens? Mark Few?

Just read a couple of articles about "hot" coaches - they are all at small schools and have never heard of any of them.

I'm glad Fran got an extension, because who in the world would be next?

I thought this was a good hire for IU. At the time, the Miller bro's seemed like two of the better young coaches in college BB. Obviously, Archie was a bust and big bro has been in trouble for the past couple of years.

Most of us IU folk felt Archie was a real good hire 4 years ago. For another school, he may still be that, a good hire. Just didn’t work out at IU.

Had he won enough, his total lack of personality, might be over looked. His offensive sets, pace and unimaginative style was barely watchable. He didn’t have a huge hole to dig out of like his predecessor, yet had his best finish (6th seed in BTT) year 1 with Crean players and still didn’t get in the tourney. Year 2, when they got as high as about 10th ranked in December with Romeo, Juwan Morgan et al, they somehow managed to lose 12 of 13 BT games. WTF??

This year, like every year, his teams were consistently slow starters. Just not ready to go out of the gate. Always battling uphill. If they did get off to a good start, you could bet your life they would go on a 4-8 minute scoring drought mid-game full of missed 3’s, missed 1 and 1’s and dreadful offensive execution. Last week’s BTT game was a fitting end. His team went 2-16 from 3, 6-15 from the line and went SCORELESS from the field in the last 10 minutes!!

Losing 6 home games this season, never beating PU, not making the tourney and no signs of improvement were hard to overlook.

Will see who is next.

I think Beilien is a good coach and should land somewhere with all these job openings...

Good luck selling his last five years to any fan base besides ISU.

 

[hooper56]

I would have to think Chris Beard would be at the top of his list.

This isn’t true, and often cited as reality. It’s really uncommon for rich people to pay other people not to work, just to make others happy a few nights a week, for short parts of the year. What happened at IU is extraordinary.

Pay attention....Calbert Channey

It was reported this morning that it was actually only one donor who ponied up the buyout funds.

Has Beilien commented publicly that he's interested in a head job again? Maybe he's got a lot of energy and wants to keep working until he drops dead, but the guy is 68. That's not the usual age for a coach that wants to take on the all time consuming prospect of rebuilding a power b-ball program.
