I feel so bad for the Miller family dynasty
Archie is out
- Thread starter Slick Manager of Champs
- Start date
Alford hasn’t exactly succeeded in a big way, but I wonder if they will look that route finally.
Hahahaha - Sean next???
Couldn't happen to a nicer family.

Maybe, but my buddy works Nevada basketball games as the official scorekeeper. Word is Alford loves it in Reno (hard to believe) because he loves to golf and doesn't have a lot of stress, especially after signing that 10-year deal.
As was said somewhere I saw on Twitter, this move feels like they already have the next coach locked up.
I doubt it will be Alford. Beilen probably the safe choice. Home run hire...Scott Drew?

I guess we shouldn't feel too bad for him:
10,350,000
Dollars to buy out the remaining years on Archie Miller's contract. It's the 15th-richest in the country, per USA TODAY's coaches salary database. According to the terms of his contract, signed upon his hiring in 2017, Archie Miller would be owed 100% of remaining base, deferred and outside, marketing and promotional income, were he to be terminated without cause before March 31, 2022.
but when you look at his numbers, a complete dud of a hire.

IU basketball fires Archie Miller. A by the numbers breakdown of his Indiana tenure
Indiana fired men's basketball coach Archie Miller on Monday after four uninspiring seasons in Bloomington.

Even lousy coaches at the power 5 level make huge money. That payoff is mind boggling but that’s why you get a smart agent.
What's mind-boggling is if they gave him one more year that buyout drops to 3 mill. Seems like kind of a no-brainer to give him that year-unless of course they have the guy they really want in the bag already.
Belein would be a great hire for them.
Actually, they are not looking for a "coach." According to the AD, "I will seek a chief executive that I can partner with to reestablish the brand and national presence of Indiana Basketball."
Indiana should stop effing around and just pay Brad Stevens $7 million-$8 million per year.
I would be stunned if Drew or Beard left for Indiana and the unrealistic expectations that go with that position.
Pitino would be interesting but IU will probably act like that’s beneath them or something dumb and trivial like that.

Another great quote from the Indiana AD: "private philanthropic funding" paid for Miller's buyout, which was more than $10 million." What is philanthropic about paying a basketball coach $10 million not to coach?
As good as it is to see him get shown the door it was more fun watching his teams lose. Plus, his mercenary Daddy taught him well. He’s getting kicked out the door with a golden boot.
But the family still reeks of the scent of unwashed jock straps.

Richard Pitino is out at Minnesota. This can mean only one thing... Marcus Carr is coming back to try and win that elusive ACC game.
So Mark Cuban paid the $10 million and will soon be named Indiana Basketball Chief Executive Officer.
