No chance with either but find a guy who has had not success at a higher level and not another mid major coach.
Huh? I think I know what you mean, but reading that made my head hurt, lol.
He has a year to do it and I sure hope he can. I do not want to keep going through coachin searches. It certainly is a make or break year.
Hard to tell if that Pro or Anti- Archie...definitely not getting our moneys worth!
I think Stevens is infinitely more valuable now as a college coach after his NBA rep and experiences. That experience is absolutely invaluable towards today’s recruits that maybe would have labeled him as bland or vanilla coming from just the Butler success.
Crean was paid the same type of money. We pay the money we just do not get top 10 results.
Yes, I see that Archie is a highly paid coach. IU wasted two years with ghost Tom Crean waiting for his payout to become less where the administration relented to keep the fan base happy. Had IU been serious they needed to deliver a Brinks truck to whomever they wanted and leave it parked in his driveway until he said yes.
Agree that in no way should we assume year 3 is over before it begins. Self defeatist. That said, after 20 years of rebuilding, being young, needing own guys, upper admin, etc. this is my 1st year of pulling back to doing just what I have to. Other things are beginning to replace the passion. That’s the biggest forthcoming issue without improvement, imo. Maybe it’s just me though.
Duke will give him 10 million a year if needed. IU would probably not even pony up half of that so our chances with him are slim and none. We had our chance to get him before and we blew it.
There’s a difference in throwing a tantrum in the car on a trip home from vacation because you want to ride your bike...and throwing a tantrum on a sunny Saturday afternoon at home when you want to ride your bike.
Because unless you are Fred Glass there’s not, at least today. Archie ain’t going anywhere for another year at least so you’re bitching just to bitch, you know, like a toddler or malcontent. It’s mental weakness...
I find it hilarious that people think that if IU had hired Brad Stevens he'd still be the coach at IU. He wouldn't. He'd still be the coach for the Celtics and the IU coaching carousel would still be turning. He wouldn't have turned down the NBA just because he was coaching at IU.
Stevens likely would have left the program is great shape making getting another top notch coach easier. Why is that hilarious?
Try learning to read since that's not even close to what I said was hilarious.
Since I learned how to read how do you know he would of stayed less than two years? Sources?
Now you should learn simple math. Crean's 3th year (when people here are saying he should have been fired and Stevens hired) was 2011. Stevens was then hired by the Celtics in 2013. So 2 seasons max at IU. If he came to IU it and turned it around in 1 season right after 2 straight NCAA Final finished at Butler the NBA may have come calling a year sooner.
