That is the risk of hiring a mid major coach: it may be all they are.Archie is mid major coach so was Crean. We need a real coach proven winners who know offense and defense. Chris Beard, Bruce Pearl, Thad Matta if he wants to coach again can recruit Indiana with the best Oden, Conley, Thomas, ect.
Can likely count on one hand the number of coaches who inherited a P5 job without mid-major (or lower) experience and succeeded. Archie’s single biggest problem has been his inability to develop consistent guard play. Has nothing to do with where he coached prior. I’ve seen enough of Al and Rob, they don’t belong on the court together.That is the risk of hiring a mid major coach: it may be all they are.
Either you can evolve to the big leagues or you can't. It is also possible to hire a proven commodity.Can likely count on one hand the number of coaches who inherited a P5 job without mid-major (or lower) experience and succeeded.

I’m all for hiring a proven commodity. Who ya got?Either you can evolve to the big leagues or you can't. It is also possible to hire a proven commodity.
beard only one i know ofI’m all for hiring a proven commodity. Who ya got?
Beantown boy wonder.I’m all for hiring a proven commodity. Who ya got?
Sign him up. Seriously. Hope you aren’t holding your breath.Beantown boy wonder.
IU basketball needs more than a coaching change. It needs a paradigm shift. Of course, a new staff would be part and parcel with that. But a new coach with the same general culture will only bring more of the same mediocrity.I’m all for hiring a proven commodity. Who ya got?
the assistant who makes his teams what they are is probably a few years away from retiringbeard only one i know of
Do you have anything left in the tank?I’m all for hiring a proven commodity. Who ya got?
Be very tough to get me out of Scottsdale.Do you have anything left in the tank?
This horse is dead. Ship sailed 10 yrs ago.Sign him up. Seriously. Hope you aren’t holding your breath.
grim reality...but again....most likely....it IS the reality.There isn’t going to be proven winners on the market anytime soon. The old guard is close to retirement. The B1G is as deep as I’ve seen in my lifetime. IU isn’t going to do a buyout. We have Archie for at least 2 more years.
Beard is our best, somewhat realistic bet. Dolan needs to make that happen.This horse is dead. Ship sailed 10 yrs ago.
If you were Brad, would you want to come here and deal with this mess?
No more 'hire Brad" strings...we've covered this a thousand times over for years. Would have been great. And just might have been possible. But Cody signed, saved CTC's ass for several seasons to follow, and the USS Stevens left port, never to return.
If I’m Brad Stevens, the thought of returning to Indiana, let alone college ball doesn’t even enter my mind. He’s coaching at basketball’s pinnacle. There isn’t a more prestigious basketball job in the world, and he has it. He’s got one of the best young nucleus’ in the NBA, doesn’t have to recruit, doesn’t have to do really anything other than coach. People who think Brad Stevens is going to walk away from the Celtics and come coach Indiana are NUTS. There’s a better chance of Coach Knight roaming the sidelines than Brad Stevens. I can’t believe people still think this is an actual thing?This horse is dead. Ship sailed 10 yrs ago.

If you were Beard, would you leave Lubbock for Bloomington anytime soon? He's got a pretty good thing going there right now.Beard is our best, somewhat realistic bet. Dolan needs to make that happen.
Beard’s not leaving the state of Texas and he’s all but said it due to the custody battle he has with his wife and kids. It’s a reason why he walked away from UNLV days after accepting the job.Beard is our best, somewhat realistic bet. Dolan needs to make that happen.
Archie isn’t leaving and you have no clue what Beard would or would not do.Beard’s not leaving the state of Texas and he’s all but said it due to the custody battle he has with his wife and kids. It’s a reason why he walked away from UNLV days after accepting the job.
This, at this point I don't see it getting any better this year. Start the freshman and take the lumps, Rob and Al aren't the answer. We might have the worse starting backcourt in the BIG10.I’ve seen enough of Al and Rob, they don’t belong on the court together.
There’s a huge reason why Beard has spent the majority of his coaching career in West Texas and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out. A little research my friend.Archie isn’t leaving and you have no clue what Beard would or would not do.
Well that sucks if true. I guess we’ll have to get Donovan or Stevens then?!If you were Beard, would you leave Lubbock for Bloomington anytime soon? He's got a pretty good thing going there right now.
beard only one i know of
You morons need to wake the hell up. He’s signed two separate extensions at Tech in the time Archie has been here.Beard is our best, somewhat realistic bet. Dolan needs to make that happen.
I believe he would thrive at IUbeard only one i know of
None of those three are a reality. Archie is here for at least 2 more years.Well that sucks if true. I guess we’ll have to get Donovan or Stevens then?!
Sign me up for the Pearl.Archie is mid major coach so was Crean. We need a real coach proven winners who know offense and defense. Chris Beard, Bruce Pearl, Thad Matta if he wants to coach again can recruit Indiana with the best Oden, Conley, Thomas, ect.
Is this TIC???Well that sucks if true. I guess we’ll have to get Donovan or Stevens then?!
If he misses the tournament this year he needs to be gone. Recruiting has gotten worse and if Trayce leaves the roster will be way worse next year.There isn’t going to be proven winners on the market anytime soon. The old guard is close to retirement. The B1G is as deep as I’ve seen in my lifetime. IU isn’t going to do a buyout. We have Archie for at least 2 more years.

We know what he has done at a football school in a football stateArchie isn’t leaving and you have no clue what Beard would or would not do.
I think Chris Beard would do wonderful things at IU and would welcome him tomorrow. But Chris Beard is leaving Lubbock for one job and one job only. And it’s not Indiana.We know what he has done at a football school in a football state
obviously joking. If Beard would come. You make it happen. I can’t think of anyone else off the top of my head. Shaka Smart maybe? But at this point, that’d be a lateral move for him.Is this TIC???
Donavan just started with the Bulls.
Brad is gone. Period. Has been since CTC yrs.
Neither are happening.
COVID has wrecked the finances of professional sports (MLB is in bad shape) and currently doing the same to college sports. Buying out a couple yrs of one of the biggest P5 bball contracts in the country isn't going to happen anytime soon.
sad thing is...recent results say that CAM is now coaching at a football school.We know what he has done at a football school in a football state
Please enlighten me as to the only job you refer toI think Chris Beard would do wonderful things at IU and would welcome him tomorrow. But Chris Beard is leaving Lubbock for one job and one job only. And it’s not Indiana.
ok I thought you might be. Hard to know anymore....the program is a real mess. And scary thing is, CAM has to win the transfer lotto this summer or next year could really get nasty.obviously joking. If Beard would come. You make it happen. I can’t think of anyone else off the top of my head. Shaka Smart maybe? But at this point, that’d be a lateral move for him.
Archie would land at a decent school if we fired him, so the buyout wouldn’t be a huge issue.
Are you trolling?obviously joking. If Beard would come. You make it happen. I can’t think of anyone else off the top of my head. Shaka Smart maybe? But at this point, that’d be a lateral move for him.

That is funny 😄sad thing is...recent results say that CAM is now coaching at a football school.
