Let’s hope they don’t raid our staff. Although our assistants probably deserve a shot at a HC job. I am being selfish.

they have talent there but not sure Indiana has the patience to not immediately win. Beilein would win but he would recruit a different type of player. Also age has to be a factor for Indiana too in looking at Beilein

Does pitino get a sniff?


quite honestly its not that outrageous of a suggestion

we are going to see what direction Indiana goes in...do they truly want to buckle down and return to their Hoosiers roots or are they going to look for delusions of grandeur

They might try to snag Steve Alford again. I believe he was in the running when they hired Archie.

Porter Moser of Loyola of Chicago wouldn’t be a bad choice, he’s hot now. But the step up in competition has to be considered

Dane Fife might be a good candidate, has HC experience at Purdue Fort Wayne ( 82-97 in 6 years) but only 41 and learning under Izzo can’t hurt.

Eric Musselman might be someone who could bring the Hoosiers back to glory

If Indiana could pull Scott Drew away from Baylor, he’d be the best choice in my opinion and being only 50 with the experience he has as Baylor’s HC a great hire.
But I doubt Baylor would let him go and would make him an offer to stay that would keep him in Waco

if the AD's job is on the line i would not be surprised to see Pitino. It would be a no brainer. you know you will be competing for national championships by year 3

RIP

Indiana has Tennessee syndrome. They will whiff on this and if they don’t, they won’t give whoever they choose the time and patience they need to be successful.

Apparently someone wrote the check for the buyout on Archie, which is approximately 10M.....

Sorry to see him go.
IU fans are real jerks................ they are azzholez tho they haven't been good for decades... but, have to admire the fact that:

Dolson fired Miller on Monday, armed with enough cash from private donations to cover the buyout....

Indiana basketball has gone the way of Nebraska football. They are like the stud athlete who peaked in HS and now keeps reliving that time at the local bar. Done.

Nah, Indiana and the area around it are a lot more fertile grounds for recruiting BB players than Nebraska is for football. The right coach could definitely get it done at Indiana. Crean recruited good players, but couldn't handle game day.

Yep, they haven't done anything in a couple of decades now. They're living in the past and still like to relive the Bobby Knight era. The comparison to Nebraska football is spot on

Al Durham entered transfer portal. I’d take him as a fifth year player if Geo leaves. Experienced point guard to help Miller adjust.

Durham is not a point guard, he's a 2. That said, I'd take him because his shooting is lethal but he's originally from Georgia so I'm not sure RU is gonna be a player here.

A call to top donors must have come through for IU. Mark Cuban, perhaps...certainly has deep enough pockets to bankroll it.
