Yes because of an unexpected retirement by their head coach. Last I checked, Notre Dame is a major program in a major conference.

So how do you know how Miller will do until he gets there. Have you watched one game that Dayton has played the last few years if not you have no idea how he coaches. i have watched a lot of games and his teams play great defense and play hard as hell.
The Dayton flight was listed above but diminished some when I found that the plane owner in Bloomington has a daughter at DU. BUT, gotta know where to look and Dayton was it.
At any rate, Archie Miller is a super hire.
Yeah it's a decent hire, but hard not to be slightly disappointed. Like getting a Gene Keady when you wanted a Bob Knight.
Fpeaugh thanks for sharing your info, you make these kinds of boards more enjoyable.
As a rival fan, congratulations on the new coach. I hope the noise of possibly getting Donovan doesn't poison the well for Archie. I think he is a good young, up and coming coach. Probably only concern would be if he is ready for the bright lights. If he is ready then you may not be worrying about a coach for another generation. In the long run I think he will be better than Alford would have been. Good luck, unless you are up against my team or its conference.
Do you have any backstory details you can share on how the process played out? Was he the third choice behind Donovan and Alford?(won't list Stevens) Any odd twist and turns of the saga.
Guess Indiana and Kentucky fans can share one thing now, we were both spurned by Billy D and rumors of "done deals".
I never said he was. The unexpected retirement came from Bill Guthridge. I am not wrong.
Bob Knight did. At least now you can read, which you weren't capable of earlier.
I don't know how he will do, my hope is he does well. That isn't my objection. My objection is the fantasy that we are some elite program, we are not. Elite programs don't need to take these kinds of risks. I will support Archie as I did Davis as I did Crean. Sampson is dead to me. It's a decent hire, it is not an elite program hire, because we aren't elite, but yes I hope he hits that home run.
Read (again, this has been a challenge for you) Coach Knight's comments about the NIT and its value as a tournament.
What is your absession with saying g we are not elite? We are an elite program and a blue blood. We have had some down time as a program but with a good hire we can have some elite success. You just don't understand what makes programs elite. IU is an elite program no matter how much you tell us it isn't.
No we aren't. What is your obsession saying we are, to hear yourself say it so you can believe it? We aren't. Blueblood, sure. Elite, no. In your own paragraph you contradict yourself. You say we are elite, then you say IF we have the right hire we CAN have some elite success.
Do you even read what you write?
Difference in elite program vs an elite team. IU is an elite program. Just like Texas football, Nd football, Michigan football. The IU brand is elite...sorry you hate that.
