I guess we won’t have to wait long if it’s true.. Edit- also stated it will be a mutual decision so the buyout may not be as big of an issue as we thought. 🤷🏼♂️ So theoretically, Archie knows? He'd have to for it to be a mutual decision...And he'd leave that chunk of money on the table? If that's the case, then he's already been talking with other suitors...

Possible he isn’t leaving a chunk. What if he stuck feelers out and had a team in place OR just really confident and just wanted OUT and they offered a single payment buyout to give him a chunk all at once and save face and money for IU? idk thinking out loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured they’d be done after this news I got laughed at on another forum for saying that when the season ends the AD should approach him about a negotiated buyout. They said why would he walk away from all that money. My thought was that if the money was really an issue and they kept him around another year just to fire him anyway that he was looking at $6.5 to 7 million from the buyout and salary that he earns over the next year. So why not make an offer to get him that money up front and get him out the door? Also, from Miller's perspective, if it is going to be the transfer wild wild west, getting a job ASAP may help him land on his feet quicker and rebound faster. So it may be a win/win for everyone.

labeck81 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 I'm starting to think that the Knight return could be what helps broker Beard to Indiana. I know there have been things said about Beard staying close to his daughters in Texas but if Beard is so close with the Knight family (which he has said himself), i could see Pat helping make it happen.

If Calbert never favored recruiting, which some have said, no he would not be the right fit. If he wants to go after it recruiting....why not a good fit?

You do that then you have to bring an experience HC in to be an assistant. I liked the idea if Brey gets fired at ND he would be a good fit.

I hope we can get someone that instantly brings in a breakthrough recruit and creates a brand and identity. An established coach is always a good idea. But, we can't ignore the sucess Michigan is having. Part of their model is that they have a long time head coach on the bench as an assistant. Something to explore. Got to get creative to restore IU basketball. Got to make it cool again and establish a winning culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
