PU just turned into the biggest game of Archie’s tenure
- Thread starter Cavanagh
- Start date
5 years minimum with a monster rebuild. I mean its iu where the expectations are pretty low. If he makes the ncaa in year 4 he likely gets a big extension.
This is iu dude not kentucky. He will get 5 minimum and make the tourney he gets extended. The expectations are not high at iu
Dude, go jump in traffic, or at the very least lose your login. You're the whinniest little bitch on this forum.
I believe end of school year, so May. The logistics of firing a coach in May aren't in your favor. Miller will get a 4th year regardless.
This is the winning post because of your last two sentences.
I went to 3-4 games in AH earlier in the year and was shocked not just by the attendance, but at how little enthusiasm there was. Watching the Northwestern game on TV......very quiet during a horribly played 1st half, then like a morgue in the 2nd half as NW went 10 points up, with their best guard not playing. It was if the crowd as one refused to cheer/participate until someone from IU actually made a play. With 7-8 minuets left someone finally did, and there was a little bit of support down the stretch.
They had to scale back some of the loud pre-game hype because it looked so out of place with this team and their lackluster efforts.
Yes, the crowd can still get loud right now for a MSU or Purdue, but that's not going to be there much longer.......
The Arkansas, OSU, MSU, and Maryland games all had crowds that were very energized, very engaged. Two of those games were played during break so there was no student element. I wish they'd take 1,500/or so.of those student seats and sell them to the general public.
Biggest difference I see between now and back in the day was that IU used to fill the place up for games against weak opponents. Nowadays, you can get a pretty decent seat for one of those garbage games for $25.00 on Stub Hub or Vivid Seats.
Purdue scored 104 in one game.
Hell.....it would take IU a good two games just to score that many points.
If Archie loses at home to Purdue, he might as well pack his bags and head on out. Attendance will plummet after that.
The AD change will be the key to this. It is not easy to move on coaches at IU, Glass can tell you that. The AD change may buy AM a fifth year regardless.
Hopefully the new AD does what Glass has refused to do and sell some of the 8K student seats to young alumni.
That would have been a great idea 6 years ago in the crean era. There are no more young alum lined up to get season tiks. Suck long enough and even the IU faithful will stop caring. The wait list is no more, and I would bet anyone that graduated from IU next year would be able to get season tickets. My friends that graduated last 10-15 years and were on a wait list all got called to get tickets. One friend was on the list for just a year and got tickets 3 years back.
I agree, if he misses this year with recruiting already down and no reason to extend him, it will only get worse and the new AD will want to cut ties and not take the fall for Glass's mistake
I don't think so, it wouldn't be called SSAH now if they were completely not dependent on donors and season ticket holders. When they become totally apathetic, IU will feel it in the pocketbook. McRobbie will have nothing to skim off of, so I think he and the trustees do have an interest in us having success soon.
