Could Archie Miller leave Indiana before he's pushed out? I'd take him. It'd be a similar move to other coaches who've moved on when things ran out of gas (similar to Tubby from Kentucky to Minnesota). Trent Condon just mentioned him on KXNO.

Have you watched any Indiana basketball games? Archie Miller is known for doing less with more. Hard pass.
I fear a guy like Archie that could not get it done at a basketball state like Indiana could no way get it done at Iowa State. Either that or he goes the route of his brother and just get's us into trouble by paying recruits and getting busted. It still strange that coaches from smaller universities can win and win big at them but can't get it done with better recruiting, better facilities and more money.
Every name we see 75% of the responses are negative. Please enlighten me as to who are the viable candidates that are an acceptable replacement.
Everyone has an opinion. The parameters I would look for are youth, Midwest connections, firm playstyle/system, and ambition( we are not a last stop for a coach, Orr was the outlier). Anyone who seems to fit this bill gets a chance from my persepctive.
He would probably be number 8 on my list but I’ll take anyone not named Steve Prohm at this point.
He struggled at Indiana but to be fair, that's kind of just been Indiana for the last 25 years, Crean pissed a ton of talent down his leg there too. That said, I wouldn't be excited by Miller. He was good at Dayton looking at their history, every coach has been the last few decades. I'd like to avoid the Prohm mistake and not look too hard at success obtained at mid major programs that win no matter who is coaching.
True. His credentials are spotty too. Let’s pass.
I agree with previous poster - if you can't get it done at Indiana... it's not going to work here.
Crean was much better than Miller. He at least took them to the tournament several time and I believe won the conference at least once.
