Archie Miller to Indiana

[EastCoast2]

Any IU or Dayton recruits worth getting involved with at this point?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

That's a pretty good pick up for Indiana I think.

Huge upgrade from Stephen King.

If Indiana was gonna replace Tom Crean they should've gotten the guy taken care of before they fired him.

Archie Miller is a nice coach but I wouldn't say he's that much better than Tom Crean.

I think this tells us what coaches thought of the Indiana job.

which is odd, because you can win in the b1g.

there is not a UNC or Duke or whomever the team du jour is in your way.

its just sparty and then whomever.

the Indiana job should've been the most coveted one out there.

Archie Miller is generally considered a top notch coach.

Yea, I wouldn't be thrilled if Cuse replaced JB with an Archie Miller type when the time comes.

I'm sure I'd talk myself into it but initially, this hire is meh.

Who do you guys think we're going to get if Archie Miller is considered a bad hire?

 

[OrangeDW]

Who do you guys think we're going to get if Archie Miller is considered a bad hire?

Pitino, Cal, Popovich, or bust!

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Who was Indiana going to get that is better than Miller? I think he did a great job at Dayton. Will Allen Griffin go with him or go to SU or Washington?

 

[Cusefan0307]

Who do you guys think we're going to get if Archie Miller is considered a bad hire?

Jay Wright

 

[721Comstock]

Pitino, Cal, Popovich, or bust!

How about Saban?

 

[AZOrange]

Archie is one of the best young coaches in the game

I don't know that we would get anyone better but I'm not in love with Archie Miller. I think he's a good fit at an underdog school like Dayton. Not sure how he translates to the bright lights.

Who would you be thrilled with? This is EXACTLY the kind of hire I hope we make

Why?

 

[OrangeAl]

Any of the last several Knicks coaches would be happy to take the job.

 

[longislandcuse]

Why?

This is purely me not being a fan of him. He's been solid at Dayton - hasn't blown me away.

 

[AZOrange]

The guy wins A TON. As for the bright lights we should ask JB...

 

[Alsacs]

Chris Mack has more tournament success than Archie Miller.

Mack, Holtzman from Butler would have been my backups if Alford was a no.

If the hire was going to be Miller I would have given Crean another year. With a healthy team. Miller isn't necessarily an upgrade from a Crean.

 

[Day2]

Miller's a good coach, but let's be real: If we take care of business in 2014, he's not coaching IU today.

 

[RF2044]

Good -- that will make for a smooth transition for me continuing to dislike Miller.

Agreed.
This is Indiana for chrissakes, they could've/should've been able to do better.
Its not that he isn't a good coach, but has he done enough at this stage to snag a blue-blood, Top 10, iconic Hoosier program for himself?
I don't think so. JMHO

 

[HOFCeluck]

Better then Steve Alford IMO.

Well, Archie has a 7 year deal. JB has no idea when he will step down or health becomes an issue. Griff would be crazy to come here instead of indy if he has a choice.
