He left out one very important fact dude.Well said, kudos.
The rest of your post is facts. Some here do not let facts get in the way of a good rant.

They compare the Big East to the Atlantic 10. Unreal then say Archie is the superior coach. Shaka Smart won .744 at VCU but is only .508 at Texas, what is the difference. Oh I don't know maybe a better conference, with better players and better coaches.I’m not sure why some are tearing down Mack. His numbers are what they are. He took Xavier to the NCAA tourney 8 out of his 9 years. 4 Sweet Sixteens. 1 Elite 8. He was a great hire for Louisville especially considering the position Louisville was in after Pitino and Jurich being removed.
He has pieced together a very good season thus far with only one player player who is likely All Conference. Then he has amassed several transfers to be key cogs to UofL’s success.
I think the nature of some posters is in large part negativity. Another example is not wanting Kyle Guy at IU because of his hair style. SMH How about the fact the kid is a gamer and can shoot lights out.
I’m still hoping for the best with Miller and believe he deserves a chance to stock the team with his recruits and coach them.
No. I know from someone close to Mack that IU never even reached out to him.... before they hired Archie? Mack is getting it done at UL.
We did not. I know for certain.Yea we all know!!!! Nobody knows if the Clown interviewed him or not.
Mack would trade his talent for ours in a heartbeat.6 Top 100 upperclassmen recruits on the roster helps.
He just wouldn’t say anything.As BRCB stated, what is said at a press conference can not be taken at face value.
If Archie was the third coach contacted, would you expect FG to say, "Hey, we couldn't sign our first two choices but we got #3."?!
They were very similar at the time. Mack was at a better job than Archie. To claim Archie was clearly above Mack is pure bias. Both should have been interviewed but that’s not what happened.You guys are JACKASSES.
When IU was looking for a coach in 2017, here was Mack's record his 5 previous seasons:
24-14, 7th in conference
28-6, 2nd in conference
23-14, 6th in conference
21-13, 3rd in conference
17-14, 6th in conference
He had an improbable run to the Elite 8 that was nice, but otherwise VERY mediocre.
If we had hired Chris Mack instead of Archie Miller, the usual suspects on this forum would have LOST THEIR MIND.
UofL may be a dumpster fire, but Mack walked into more talent than Archie. That's just a fact. The fact that UofL can have a title stripped and all of those issues and STILL have more talent than IU is a Crean issue, not Archie.
Mack then proceeded to get his ass kicked by Archie in a head to head game.
You know what? Mack may end up being a better hire than Archie....who the hell really knows yet? But to act like he would have been a better hire at the time is ludicrous.
Mack would trade his talent for ours in a heartbeat.
How could anyone claim Archie was the better hire. Mack coached in the BIG EAST Archie the Atlantic 10, no comparison at all in competition level.They were very similar at the time. Mack was at a better job than Archie. To claim Archie was clearly above Mack is pure bias. Both should have been interviewed but that’s not what happened.

Stop posting. For the love of God.Awful comparison. Dumb
I know for a fact he wasn’t. From someone very close to Mack. Believe what you want.You don't know what happened.
As far as what he said, what was stated before is true, PR hype that doesn't really say anything. We got our guy. As BRCR stated, he could have talked to six guys. No way of knowing without intimate knowledge of the process, something no one here has.
Present real facts then. You can't compare a mid major coach to a Power 5 conference coach, unless you are saying there is no differenceStop posting. For the love of God.
My guess is the clown didn't interview him either, the clown went after Archie cause some other clown told him how great he was...Also Mack is a street fighter and probably not very nice, but who cares. Well IU Scott does.I know for a fact he wasn’t. From someone very close to Mack. Believe what you want.

Keep on playing that patience game Monkey spank. Archie has one more year.Quit your crying! Archie has 1 recruiting class under his belt. You wanting instant gratification is very telling of your weak character. We do not need softies like you trying to bring down Indiana.
I'm not crying I'm saying that Archie was not clearly the superior hire to Mack like some of these idiots are saying. How can you not see that. Mack coached in the Big East!Quit your crying! Archie has 1 recruiting class under his belt. You wanting instant gratification is very telling of your weak character. We do not need softies like you trying to bring down Indiana.

Want to wager.Incorrect again. You are thinking too much with your emotions and how you feel. He is here 4 years at the very minimum. I suggest you take a break from you non stop whining and crying. Its very clear you are too weak to handle the rebuild Archie just started.
... before they hired Archie? Mack is getting it done at UL.
Yes random whining internet troll. Lets wager.Want to wager.
No. I know from someone close to Mack that IU never even reached out to him.
The fact is Mack proved he could win in a power conference. Seemed like a no brainer to me but with Fred he never does the obvious thing.I'm not crying I'm saying that Archie was not clearly the superior hire to Mack like some of these idiots are saying. How can you not see that. Mack coached in the Big East!
Correct. Didn’t even bother to interview them.I heard surfer fred only went after Archie even though Mack and Holtman won in a power conference vs a mid major conference.
Fred is not smart enough to know the difference he also likes to hire Big Ten football coaches with no head coaching experience at all, except Ben Davis High School.I heard surfer fred only went after Archie even though Mack and Holtman won in a power conference vs a mid major conference.
Mike Davis was 1-0 against Coach K idiot.The real fact is it is way too soon to be debating which was the better hire. Even though Archie is 1-0 vs Mack
Fred had his mind made up from day one after somebody convinced him Archie was the next Coach K.Correct. Didn’t even bother to interview them.
Archie kicked his azz and just imagine if a CAM lead team blew a 23 point lead at home.
Really got it done!
Rather have Archie. The overly emotional IU fans want the flavor of the month. Love seeing lil victor bear crying like a pre teen girl. Get a pair buddy! It is a process.
Bingo......Fred had his mind made up from day one after somebody convinced him Archie was the next Coach K.
Hopefully not the same source who told you "It's happening!"I know for a fact he wasn’t. From someone very close to Mack. Believe what you want.
If anything Mack had a great team in 2017 and maybe he didn’t want to leave yet, who knows.Hopefully not the same source who told you "It's happening!"
SO glad we aren’t you guys. Good luck in the NIT!
