Cox teams were bad too but they usually lead at every half and then just rolled over in the second half. Millers tenure is tough. I don’t feel optimistic.

Archie's start stands on top of Dan's work to improve the program.

Archie has also made it to the Elite 8 with an A10 program. Fair to expect more from a guy like that than a guy with the limited experience of DH back when he started.
