Here's hoping Miller vs Underwood is as good of theater as Knight vs Henson back in the day. Those were some epic battles.

Or, worse yet, fired him then replaced him with an assistant with zero head coaching experience no one has ever heard of. Poor OSU and Cal fans. Maybe it'll work out. Doesn't seem likely, though.
I would be more concerned with Chicago than Indy honestly. Archie already has his hooks in Chicago and now he is at a much bigger program. It's not like UI has been pulling in many Indiana stars. Hard for it to make a difference in a state where you have had limited success.
If he lives by his word, I'm disappointed. He is the coach I wanted there. I just don't think he is all that good.
Same here. He's been the head guy for nine years now. It's hard to let that go, even if it means going to a program in a one-bid league.
Just glad they didn't get Billy Donovan .

Hire a coach who plans to upgrade to a better job in 5 to 6 years. Don't hire a retread. Hire a climber.

I don't know who that guy is the Dayton board, but damn I appreciate his realism. The anti-hoosier understanding of a coaching search.
And yet, checking Btown Banners there is a vocal minority who are upset about getting Archie including Brass Cannon. BC, if you see this care to weigh in on why you are so livid and are done supporting Glass? Looks like a great hire from most people's perspective.
I hope I am wrong about Miller but Glasses track record does not bode well for it
Glass promised us a proven winner. Instead we got a guy with potential.
That's why I'm upset I have spent my entire adult life giving IU coaches time. I'm tired of the projects and the rebuilding.
In the Last 2 years Glass has replaced our Baseball, Football and Basketball coaches. They had 0 combined years head coaching position at power 5 schools. If you add in our Soccer program you get a whopping 1 year HC experience at a power 5 school and only 7 total years.
We have watched our Baseball team regress under an assistant not ready for the job. and our soccer coach was a legacy hire that got hot and won a title but has struggled with consistency.

Thanks for coming over and explaining. From what you say about Glass, I guess I can see where the disappointment comes from. I think both UI and IU did a great job hiring and look forward to some epic battles down the road. Good luck against everybody but us!
Whoa whoa whoa whoa...... whoa. We are talking about Indiana here, correct?
Good luck against ScUM and I diots O ut W alking A round.
I hope the rest of us pound IU into creamy goo.
Have a nice day though!:thumb:

Not sure I understand the reputation and expectations for Archie's recruiting - especially when it comes to Chicago. Can someone fill me in?
I looked him up at 247:
- 0 Top 100 recruits
- 1 4-star
- 7 3-star
- 1 2-star
- 6 0-star
He's only landed two players from Chicago; both in 2012, a 3-star, and a 0-star.
According to 247, of the very approximate 150 players he offered at Dayton only 5 were from Illinois and only 2 from Indiana.
He obviously had some great recruiting exposure at OSU and UofA, but that hasn't seemed to translate to his 6 classes at Dayton. I think he's a great coach but I don't understand some of these expectations for him.

I reckon that's about to change.
I see the need to weave radically disparate data points into a single narrative for the purpose of "Is Person X great or terrible?" hobby horses is not an Illinois-specific problem.
