He had national writer from CBS Sports Rick Norlander. He was asked how long should a coach get before fans would want a change and he said any coach should get 4 years. He also said that only nutjobs would be calling for Archie to be fired this year. He said he thinks that Archie is a great coach and in a few years we will all see it.
Listened to Kent Sterling on my way home
- Thread starter IU Scott
- Start date
Did he mention anything about a timeframe of, say, 3 years where things continue to deteriorate?
There are clearly exceptions to this rule and other institutions (UNC and UK) where the standard of 4 years “no questions asked” was not kosher.
I’m truly not being adversarial, Scott, only asking if there are exceptions to a cookie cutter formula?
Think about this, for you managers out there:
Do you allow the results of your employee continue to deteriorate over time and still believe they need to remain?
What if next year is just as bad? Bring him back for year #4?
I would be fine if we struggled then got better but we were competitive last year beat two top 15 teams this year then all the sudden became the worst team in the big ten? Unless he finishes strong and he gets Brooks and some shooters I don't need four years three is enough for me.
No he said every coach deserves 4 years so he can have a full recruiting cycle and to have the roster full of his own recruits.
These guys are very protective of each other. They were still protecting crean in his last year
Ive wondered what type of scoring we would have with Crean coching - Romeo, Rob, Al, and Justin would probably flourish offensively, w Morgan maybe getting less...
Defensively probably look worse in stats with such an increased # of possessions...
Turnovers about the same...
Win-Loss record prob 2-3 games better.
Outside if UL and Marquette, cant think of any games Crean prob wouldve lost.
There are a handful that Crean probably would’ve won by 10+ easily that IU lost.
The last piece though - I dont think Romeo would’ve played for Crean...making all of the above null and void. I bet Romeo cries himself to sleep nightly for not choosing UL or Kansas...and that sucks as an IU fan to say.

Romeo cares about where he gets drafted. Considering all the mocks still have him 5-7 range, I'm sure he's sleeping just fine
Where did he say that this is Romeos fault?
Did I say it was?
Maybe you should go back to your genius-level coaching search criteria thread.
With that kind of brain-power I'm shocked you haven't been snatched up as an AD somewhere.
Who is the idiot? You ramble on here with your nonsense and sound like a clueless hick. Everyone is pretty tolerant and nice to you despite your moronic contributions, but you want to call someone an idiot because you lack reading comprehension? Nice
At least 10 years, it seems. But no one should’ve expected different results under his leadership.
I believe that this was Matt Norlander and not Rick Norlander. Matt is a big UCONN basketball fan but graduated from a directional school in Connecticut (like UCONN Northeast) and is a senior writer for CBS Sports.
He’s been a major defender of the program through all their scandals and investigations saying they did things “the right way.”
“Screw you! He is implying Romeo doesn’t care (sleeping fine). You get that?
Lol...and you call someone else an idiot?
Just a lurker editorial comment: It's was obvious to a significantly large number of Purdue fans that Hazell was completely in over his head, after year two. If it's the wrong guy...it's the wrong guy. The program can suffer significantly by giving the guy 4 years...just for the sake of giving any coach 4 years.
