Coverdale Discusses Friend Mike Roberts

[Cavanagh.6]

I get it that this is a fan forum and hyperbole is the stock in trade but with that in mind where did you come up with this statement? I do not recall reading ANY posts that are even close to that level.

Most (including me) are willing to give him 3-4 years to prove he is the guy.

He has this year. If IU misses the tourney it blows up. If he makes the tourney all is good.

If he misses he will be fired or on the hottest seat in America.

Miller isn’t getting fired if IU misses the NCAA tournament. He’ll get at least four years, if not more, to build his program into an upper division Big Ten team.

It’s the feepaw troll.

I should have guessed.

Nothing against Roberts, but this smells a lot like a low budget hire. No way Roberts was at the top of any list when this search started.

This isn't football...

Archie can do no wrong he is like a combination of coach k and jesus

I'd settle for Bob Knight coaching chops with a less volatile personality. That would be a combo of two mentioned above.

Our recruiting has come off the rails...

No

The building is happening.

The building is happening.

We’ll see. That’s been the story for a couple of years, with modest results.

I don't see how anyone could argue with that viewpoint.
This year is critical for Archie to show that he can coach at this level.

I don’t know why you’re so realistic in football but so blinded by basketball.

 

[fpeaugh]

Because others aren’t anti-IU trolls.

You were wrong too. Just admit it like I have.

Wrong about what?
