Great comparison. I had no idea about their history. 25 year span between their last final 4 following multiple championships, and their last tourney appearance with an evident slow and steady decline.

Now they’re just a footnote to Gonzaga’s season as a possible upset each year.

Would Scott Drew leave Baylor for IU?

I was thinking the same thing but also, why would someone leave a place where they’re having success to be stuck with rebuilding a program with a fan base who has unrealistic expectations while Illinois, Michigan, Michigan state, MaRyLaNd and Ohio state surround you with very powerful and established programs?

Indiana alums have stepped up to the challenge and Archie Miller will be neither homeless nor hungry.

This is such BS. I, too, have agreed not to coach the Hoosiers and my IU alum buddy won’t give me a dime for it.

 

[Gregjacksonfan]

Pitino coached at Kentucky, and I think IU plays Kentucky every year. While Pitino's beef is with his former stop, Louisville, I think that would raise the profile of IU. I bet Pitino is their top candidate.

No way. Not with strippergate. Iu has more sense Than that.

I read that his suspension is still pending the outcome of the Fed case

 

[foby]

LOL at the serious responses to an obvious joke. No way IU goes near Pitino if they have any sense.......oh wait......

 

[haasi]

I feel like this truly is a make or break hire for the IU legacy.

They have 5 championships but it’s been 35 years since their last one and 20 since their last final four. They’ve ended the season ranked only 5 times since Knight left.

At some point too much time has passed for anyone to remember the good ol days.

This is a perfect opportunity for him to negotiate a much higher comp package from Baylor

yea, 1/2 the time , the coach in question may not even be in pursuit, but his agent gets his name out there anyway just to fake it and get the school he's at to give him a raise

I think if Brad Stevens turns them down they’ll hire Steve Alford.

Lots of successful NBA coaches say you know what, I think it's time to step down a level.

Not a step down if IU pays more.

 

[Ga65]

Im kinda hoping they go for Damon Bailey or Uwe Blab

Bruce may be available if they talk him out of retiring.

 

[Ga65]

No way. Not with strippergate. Iu has more sense Than that.

You sure?

 

[I11ini82]

Not a step down if IU pays more.

So if Southern Illinois offered Underwood more money than we're paying him, it wouldn't be a step down if he took it?

He must have more marginal sons coming up to recruit.

That’s too bad. One of my favorite Twitter parody accounts of all time is @LittleArchieM

 

[DocMorgan]

Miller’s buyout would have been $3.5M next year? $7M to try and rebuild one year earlier seems very expensive

Word is that one donor ponied up the $10 million.

 

[GilThorpe]

is he named Mark ?

 

[TCTORNADO]

Is there a fanbase in this country that is more in denial and more delusional than the Hoosier faithful. They have only made the Dance (a low bar at that) in 10 of the last 21 years since Knight left and after all that, "this will be a splash" hire. GMAB.

 

[TCTORNADO]

Word is that one donor ponied up the $10 million.

This all from an athletic department that had in October a $12 million shortfall plus 35 unfulfilled positions plus existing staffers taking pay cuts. Yup, we're going to make Brad Steven's the highest paid BIG coach with $4.3 million. And guarantee it for 5 years. LOL, makes sense.
