I seriously don't care.

I do think it's an attractive job. History, fan support, recruiting, and nowhere to go but up.

If IU doesn't hire Archie Miller or Greg Marshall their AD should be fired. That's assuming they can't get a huge name.

Looks like it will be Archie Miller, that's a good hire. I wonder if that makes them a serious player for Langford?

Somebody on Sportscenter made a good point about Alford last night(maybe Greenberg) he said why would Alford leave UCLA where he can be in the mix for a final four run maybe for the next two or three years to go to IU where he would have to rebuild and take maybe 3,4 or 5 years to get into the position he is in now.

UCLA will be pretty bad next season and Alford isn't that good a coach. He could easily be fired after two more seasons. He ought to be searching for a long guaranteed contract somewhere.

Why? Because every coach not named Wooden has been fired from there.

His incoming class is pretty decent,the fan base out there is pretty fickle and they will go back to not caring about UCLA basketball rather quickly but at the end of the day it is a better job than IU right now.

But I thought they were going to have their pick from Brad Stephens, Coach K, and Phil Jackson? At least that's what their fans made you believe.

Instead, they ended up with a coach that hasn't really proven anything. I mean look at all the VCU coaches that people wasted money on. They were able to upset a couple of teams and all of a sudden AD's thought those coaches were amazing. How's that working out for Alabama and Texas?

So much for that coach that has championships under his belt. Figured they'd settle for an up and coming mid-major coach like Miller. Which likely means IU will remain mediocre for eternity. And that makes me happy.

Archie had one good run a couple years back and people blew him up. I think he and Sean both are a little overrated

Should be a very attractive job - fan base, tradition, etc. But everything I read says the place is dysfunctional. Easy to happen in a traditional power that falls on hard times for an extended period of time. Everyone simply goes crazy, and the administration just can't handle it and the whole operation devolves into chaos. Can you imagine what it would be like in this state and inside the athletics department if we went 30 years without being relevant?

Anyway, should be attractive, but not sure it is.....
