That comment doesn't say much for all the folks here who thought Archie was a "can't miss" coach...from "can't miss" to one of the worst coaches in IUBB history is quite a fall. Personally, I don't think Miller was that bad...bad, but not THAT bad. We were close to being there, just on the short side of the fine line. Now, Lou Watson with his front line of George McGinnis, Steve Downing and Joby Wright...that was a big coaching disappointment. After the disheartening Big Ten loss to Wisconsin late in the season, his likeness was dragged across campus in effigy with a noose around his neck. I know because I was one of 3-4 fraternity brothers who created the life-size dummy and started the march, shouting "Watson out of Bloomington NOW!" The whole scenario made the front page of the Indy Star the following morning.
What frightens me now is that Lou got the coaching job only because he was "one of us". I hope Coach Woodson does better as "one of us". One thing he won't ever have to read about is the figurative noose around his neck. Thankfully, times have changed.
