Archie fired. (Indiana coach)

[ouchmyknee]

Looks like our friend Archie is gone.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

Indiana fans should thank us.....

gone.

 

[fatsam98]

Noooooooooooooooooooo

 

[anon_0k9zlfz6lz9oy]

Gotta be john bielin or scott drew, no?

 

[Dpgru]

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

 

[The RUT]

Indiana fans are the worst in the conference.

Pompous plebs who are stuck in Bobby Knight times

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

 

[ouchmyknee]

Does pitino get a sniff?

 

[knightfan7]

Gotta be john bielin or scott drew, no?

Is Belein up to rebuilding a program?

 

[bac2therac]

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

 

[bac2therac]

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

 

[RUhobbit]

They waited too damn long. The hire PSU just made should have been theirs

 

[ouchmyknee]

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

 

[DHajekRC84]

wonder if any transfer opportunities...

 

[MADHAT1]

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

 

[RUBubba]

Pitino and Beilein are both 68

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

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

 

[RuBird]

Jughead has a better chance of beating us

 

[Pancho1939_rivals]

Pitino and Beilein are both 68

Coach K is 74

 

[RUDead]

I will be surprised if they get anyone really good. I think they will go after some big names who will turn them down and then settle for someone.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

Coach K is 74

sure, but bribery and fraud adds years to ya'.........

 

[Joey Bags]

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.

 

[RUBubba]

I also think Brad Stevens is ready to leave Boston. Had Butler in what, 2 FFs?

 

[Salvi's Headband]

Every time Rutgers really needed a win this season, Indiana was there. Thanks Archie. Good luck.

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

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

 

[superfan01]

Steven's can have just about any NBA or college job he wants. Would be a mistake for him to go to IU.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

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.

 

[Rutgersfamily]

Our staff is safe. No way they go for an unproven asst.

 

[RU from Jersey_rivals]

The dude from Last Chance U.

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

lolz.......

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

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....

 

[ecojew]

Too bad. I really liked having him as Indiana's coach.

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Players already transferring out.

 

[chrisru99]

They have money to spend so they should attract a top coach.

 

[hoquat63]

Players already transferring out.

Which ones?

 

[MadRU]

Which ones?

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

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

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.
