No chance you're an IU grad. You post like English is your second language. I don't think you graduated high school.
FIRE ARCHIE!!!!!!!!!
- Thread starter Tasmanian Devil
- Start date
If the colts had a quarterback they would have made the playoffs. Lots of ifs and buts in your statement.
No better options, I'd rather let a young guy try to grow other than a retread. And a retread will be all in our future from here.
See UCLA. We will get worse than that.... and then what? More bitching from the cheap seats.
ok- What superstition Is it to shake Herman B Wells hand outside Chemistry building. His statue obviously
UCLA fired a coach that went like 31-6 one year in Alford I would never ask to fire a coach that did what he did at UCLA
Ok one more hot shot- what bar serves yards of beer in Bloomington and Is located next to the crazy horse.
Once again your post is barely intelligible, but there was no Herman B. Wells statue when I was attending IU. You're giving feepaw a run for his money as the least intelligent poster here.
Go look at his schedule. He played less top 40 teams in a 3 month stretch than IU plays in 3 weeks of a normal season. He's a joke. That was his one good year.....a S16 loss..... in his 6 year tenure.
I think you probably flunked out of IU. Am I right? I hope so because you post like English is your second language and you're obviously an emotional midget.
I'm out - actually have to get up an earn a few more bucks tomorrow. Someone has to pay for you deadbeats.
Might as well do you a favor before I hit the hay. What you meant to say was, "So you haven’t been back to visit the campus? What kind of a fan are you?"
You aren't very smart.
The goal isn’t to know how to coach or whatever hell you’re trying to say. Does he know how to offense? How about know how to get his teams to play consistently hard?
The B1G is a fkm meat grinder. Plenty of people can put up gaudy numbers playing in a conference where half the teams are garbage. IU has the hardest schedule in the entire nation, from here to the house. Grind out 4-5 more wins, get some post season taste. .... and then keep growing.
Or cry in the corner like a 4 yr old that got his toy taken away. Up to you.
I haven't seem a team not play hard since the NW home game. Team played hard last night.... tied at the half. They just can't make shots, nor do they have a legit guy that can just go get his own shot.
Please point to any team in the country that is successful without having a really good guard that can get his shot when needed during tight games. It's fkn basketball... it's not that complicated.
Even if he isn't all the poorly written Tourette's like criticisms with very little thought or insight added will do nothing but clog the conversation with stupidity.
Why people thinking yelling Fire Archie or doing a teenage break up letter and stating "Im done" is a thought worth sharing or writing is beyond me.... It's fking "dumb"...
If we wanted to actually talk about concerns - high level recruiting, strategies/game prep, being too easy on players/mistakes - the thread soon gets clogged with the basketball challenged Menorrhagia infected monkeys flinging sh*t all over the place.
We have different definitions for what playing hard looks like. The loss at Rutgers I thought we competed and play hard, but not last night. The team is soft, which is one thing the coach has control over.
Can agree this was not the case in the 2nd half. Piss poor effort & execution.
They played soft after they got dejected from their misses. That's what happens in literally every College BB game you'll watch.. You have a guard that makes literally 2 outside shots last night.... entirely different game.
Only point...the margin between W and L it's a lot closer than you think. Particularly when you are playing top 40 teams every tip
Thus program has a long way to go. But it will get there.
4 NCAA tournaments in 11 years. Archie is on his way to 0-3. Quit telling people to be patient. Our problem is IU fans have been TOO patient.
Get where? Top 25ish program? Most likely. Top 10 & national championship? I think it's more likely @T.M.P. will write me a love letter and @fpeaugh will refrain from using hyperbole for a month.
My biggest issue is on the defensive end. I had hoped we turned a corner after the OSU and Rutgers games, but we regressed back to our norm in Maryland and PSU games. The guards aren't talented offensively, but there isn't any reason the team can't be a top 10 defense. That's squarely on Archie.
What exactly is Archie great at that makes you so sure we will get there? He isn't an elite recruiter. His teams are average on offense. His teams defensively aren't elite. Go compare his teams defensively to Bennett. It's night and day difference. Archie is a plebeian when it comes to college coaches.

How many top 40 teams did ARchie play while at Dayton, we can go all night long on this.
I disagree. They were getting beat for loose balls all night, including the tip. Brunk was being dominated right off the bat by the shorter white stiff. I think what you were seeing is our definition of playing hard. Knight used to say concerning some teams/players "they think they're playing hard, they're not". When a team is really playing its ass off it's noticeable. There's no debate about it.
Where did I say anywhere that he was great at anything.... at least right now. I think he is a very competent coach.... but to this point hasn't recruited at a high enough level to make the next step up. It's not difficult to watch a game objectively and see exactly what the missing piece is for this team..... which takes a team that is 15-6 and makes them 18-2.
The next 14 months or so will tell enough about where we are going, or not going. I don't see a better answer out there, anyway.

I would just like to point out that this is impossible.
Man, that didn’t age well for those dumb enough to call for that, huh???
Nice win, Hoosiers!!
Ouch. Could you three have been more wrong? I don’t think it’s possible.
I’ll own mine.
I still think he’ll get another year. But today was incredibly painful - mostly due to the lack of heart. And I don’t see the rest of the season ending well.
If Archie is let go at year’s end, he can’t say he didn’t have it coming. I still think this team isn’t all that talented and it has horrible (read: NO) leadership. But they look totally lost, and that at some point has to be on the coaching staff.
I realize my opinion won’t mean much here but I don’t think IU should get rid of Archie this year. The two ways to build a winning roster are to go the 1 and done route or get old and stay old. Since the first option only works for about 6-8 schools most schools should try to go the way of getting old and I think that’s what Archie is trying to do.
next years core is basically the same as this year only everyone is a year older. Green can take over a game but I don’t think most of you guys are losing sleep about him graduating this year and Davis never plays from what I’ve seen. That leaves a solid rotation of players before additions.
Frontcourt
Brunk - been better than I thought he would be for you guys. I think he’ll be a steady presence down low.
TJD - star. Probably going to be all conference and will force double teams
Race and Smith - both will be in their 4th year under Archie and will provide value.
Backcourt
Durham and Rob - upperclassmen who have had good moments already and will need to be a leaders for the team.
Hunter - think he’ll be a breakout candidate after getting a year under his belt. The graphic they showed during the game showed that he was shooting well recently and I thought he played good today. Respected enough that he drew Purdue’s best defender in eastern.
franklin - he’ll also have a year under his belt and should be better.
freshman - don’t know much about 2 of the 3 but I know I wanted Galloway to commit to Purdue for a long time. He’s the type of player that every team should want.
I think that group is a sharpshooter from deep away from being a top 20 team. Good thing is that there is scholarship room to add a grad transfer shooter in the summer.
I think bringing in a new coach would only make next years squad suffer learning a new system and would set IU back in the loaded 21 class in the state as far as relationships built. If a veteran group next season doesn’t make noise then the seat should probably get warm.

You cannot honestly think given the level of play we are going to land any of these top 2021 players. Not to mention they all know archie is on very borrowed time. Recruiting is likely dead.

Nice win, Hoosiers!!
Talk about not aging well...
That's almost as bad as Fpeaugh2 declaring Brad Stevens was coming. Then Beilien and Fife combo was IU bound.....
