All of this worrying and a win at Minnesota will set everything back on track.

And just how much lunch money do you have saved up kiddo?
I can tell you the people who matter aren’t happy. The trustees are being bombarded with it. It’s solely a contractual issue now.
You could work for CNN. You just made saying absolutely nothing sound interesting.
Yeah right! I think Archie needs to win
yeah right! We have six games left and if we go 50/50 then it’s another year no NCAA tournament.
vs the $6 to save his job crowd...
Numbers are not substantial until they are multiplied to the fanbase rather than just you bing aloha etc
Why are you so upset about people having different opinions than you do? I don't care if you don't like Miller. I only respond to those that are dicks about it. You're being a dick about it now. Just say you disagree and move on.
I have nothing personally invested in Miller. I happen to have enjoyed watching UD play and thought he was a great hire for IU. He may or may not work out, but I'm not one to go into hysterical over reaction about these things. It's not my style, though it's obviously what some of the posters here do - incessantly. If I decide Miller isn't the right man for the job, I'll say it.
I saw a trustee this past Saturday. We talked a little basketball but I promise you it’s not close to a situation where Miller is in trouble. He’s not.
The only thing I get angry about is when I watch Indiana basketball. My wife says if I don’t calm down I’m going to have a stroke. I was a Miller supporter until the embarrassing Purdue game in front of, in my opinion the greatest college basketball coach ever.
I think I agree with you. I’ve never felt like Archie liked it here for one reason or another?
Why the hell would Archie agree to a buyout when he’s guaranteed the 3.5 mil
If that was the case then Fred is an idiot. You need a coach that wants to be at Indiana and not just in it for the money.
Tournament appearances on Fred’s watch have been less than stellar. He may have helped other sports and facilities , but he’s hurt the hoops program. Horrible hires.
Archie was more horrified than you were about the effort against purdue. I'm done linking my mood to the efforts of kids that don't know how we have invested years watching IU. It is them looking bad, not me. When they figure that out, they will play every game with the effort that wll win games.
On track for what? Another 20 win or less bubble team? Just making the tournament isn't good enough at a program IU and Archie hasn't even proven to be able to do that 3 years in.
I would imagine all the grads/celebrities that went to the welcoming back of Bob Knight can't be happy.
Out of all the games to not show up and play hard that one takes the cake. At home against a rival, welcoming back a living legend, and we didn't even look like we practiced that week. Par for the course for this team, about to be 4 straight years without a tournament, ugh.
Maybe, he didn’t go into specifics. But he also didn’t express anything that would lead me to believe that an easy put contract would matter. And this guy’s been around the block a time or two. Miller isn’t in trouble.
Depends what you consider trouble, he better start winning, and soon.
I seriously doubt it because I was the one screaming at the television, not Miller. He doesn’t get mad when he knows there’s a bad call.
no, you can’t. Lol. Still talking all this insider BS, ya nutjob? Lolol
I wonder what Kaufman has to say now?

If we keep Archie, I hope we are absolutely pitiful next season. I hope it’s an embarrassment. I wish he would cheat and give them a black eye. The fact that this administration keeps this guy around is beyond. His non-coaching ass will probably get 2 more years.
17 million is the number and yes I think he will be gone Wille Taggart was just bought out for 18 million and FSU endowment is only 750 million compared to 2.3 billion for IU.
Hoping their team sucks is not what fans do.
Die hard fans do it all the time. Hell your hypocrite ass probably did it for the colts. #suckforluck.
I have the same opinion on this. He's only 61 years old, so it's not as if he's legitimately reached "retirement age." Between the firing of Kevin Wilson, the firing of Tom Crean and the lame duck hire of Archie Miller, I believe Glass saw the writing on the wall and decided to leave on his own terms.
I respectfully disagree on this. Take the Philadelphia 76ers for example. Their executive-level management actively engaged in a "tanking" process for four full seasons to turn the organization around. While it's not easy, rooting against the IU program to elicit necessary recourse is best for the long-term health of the program.
That's what happens when you hire a corporate attorney with no experience leading a Power 5 conference athletic department.
If there's one thing I've learned in the age of social media, it's to never trust the declarations of sportswriters. If you keep track of what they say -- particularly on Twitter -- they're consistently wrong on big-picture topics, the hiring of Archie Miller included.
