So I’m going to give benefit of the doubt
Archie could be coming in to interview for UMASS and/or for URI. The timing certainly makes sense.
Cmon friends. Be better.

I think they'd be more of a spot for Sean.
As much as we view Archie very highly (rightfully so), a lot of P5 teams have questions after Indiana didn't go well.
The fact that Indiana was willing to pay Archie $10M would give a lot of programs pause before the major investment of firing/hiring a coach.
The better news here for us, is that those larger midwest programs that could come open, might target Sean before Archie.
Capel is not getting fired by Pitt at this time only because he has a contract that runs through 2026-27 with a present buyout amount estimated to be near some $15M.

Re: The Archie Miller Conspiracy Thread.
In yesterday's Eye on College Basketball podcast, Matt Norlander brought up Archie Miller when talking about the URI job opening. For something with supposedly such long odds, there sure is a decent amount of smoke. Can we somehow speak this into existence?

Re: The Archie Miller Conspiracy Thread.
The one thing we have going for us is he likely doesn’t want to sit out another year. He’s “under-qualified” for a high end P6 gig. So his options are something like a Missouri? Or high end mid major, which I would bucket A10 (us) into.
Going to a school like URI definitely gives him an easier chance of success than something like a Missouri having to compete with the best in the country every night.

Re: The Archie Miller Conspiracy Thread.
Under qualified probably not the right term, but he failed at Indiana. Safe to assume then he needs to succeed at a lower level job in order to get another P6 jobtheblueram wrote: ↑2 years agoHe’s under qualified for a high end P5 gig?

There will be penalties for the LSU program, but that probably gives some job security for whoever the hire is to work through any early struggles.

Re: The Archie Miller Conspiracy Thread.
How does a coach recruit effectively with any sort of postseason ban that may last more than 1 year? The only good to come from this is that, if Kevin Ollie was show-caused for 10 years with his violations, Wade's show-cause should out-last humanity.

Here at the AMFC, we have updated our group charter to leave room for change to our top tier basketball coaching hire support.
We would also support a Chris Mack initiative.
Thank you.

Yes Blue Man, a Chris Mack hire would be a homerun for us.
You never know, some teams may stay away because of the earlier issues and his 6 game (20 day) suspension.

Literally the reason I latched on to the Miller conspiracy is because I thought that would be the best we could realistically do. That Mack would be way above us.
A-10 conference title. A-10 COY. Big East conference title. Big East coy.
4 sweet 16’s and an elite 8. 9 NCAA births - 10 if not for Covid.
I guess the Dino Gaudio situation made some problems for him down there and that’s why the resignation.
Make no mistake. This would be a near-Harrick level hire.

Chris Mack was a recipient of the National Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award for his off court contributions.
He also established the Mack Family Foundation whose mission is to inspire and aid less fortunate children.
Just providing a little perspective on him as a person vs. what you had heard.

Chris Beard... Left a Texas school for another Texas school got to be an idiot
John Beilein too old
Tommy Lloyd not enough experience
Greg Popivich never coached in college before
Matt Painter. Never made a final 4
John Calipari... Well we know he looks like a veteran car salesman
Coach K. Maybe we can ask the booster to step up and get him out of retirement
Maybe URI ,or at least the fans should ease up on the requirements and their personal assessments

What was the Dino Gaudio situation regarding Mack ??Blue Man wrote: ↑2 years agoYou “guess” he would be better?luke wrote: ↑2 years ago Not a huge fan of Mack . he is another coach who let his players dictate kind of like Cox .

Literally the reason I latched on to the Miller conspiracy is because I thought that would be the best we could realistically do. That Mack would be way above us.
A-10 conference title. A-10 COY. Big East conference title. Big East coy.
4 sweet 16’s and an elite 8. 9 NCAA births - 10 if not for Covid.
I guess the Dino Gaudio situation made some problems for him down there and that’s why the resignation.
Make no mistake. This would be a near-Harrick level hire.
You’re a dunce if you think any less.

Re: The Archie Miller Conspiracy Thread.
Chris Mack was an assistant under Sean Miller. Thad Matta had already built Xavier into a National power and Sean Miller took over from Matta and
continued the rise of the program . Chris Mack inherited an established program from Miller . Miller had won 3 A 10 titles and had 4 NCAA appearances before moving to Arizona . Mack was able to continue the program forward though his team in the middle of his coaching run was involved in a brawl with Cincinnati and he lost control of his players who instigated the brawl . Some of his players acted like thugs during games with Cincy and Dayton ( There
was also a pregame on court mini brawl prior to the start of a game with Dayton also instigated by Xavier ) .Mack made no attempt to control their thuggish behavior . I would attribute Much of Mack's success to the standing and culture at Xavier established by Matta and Sean Miller . Mack
probably deserves some credit for keeping things going as well as they did , IMO the recruiting pipelines were already in place for him and the talent
level of the players was optimal . Would I consider him a good candidate for URI ? Sure . I don't think he would achieve the same level of success
that he did at Xavier , however. He would be an upgrade I would agree , however i would prefer Archie or Sean Miller or Dan or Bobby Hurley who
were able to bring a high level of success to struggling programs at Dayton, URI and Buffalo respectively . Chris Mack was never placed in such a
position so I am not certain he would have done as well under the same circumstances . But , given the other names mentioned other than the Millers
and the Hurleys I would have to agree that he would probably be the best choice that I am aware of at the moment . When I said I wasn't a fan of Mack
it has a lot to do with the brawling incidents I have mentioned which I personally witnessed . It left a bad impression on me concerning Mack . He had a
very talented team which I thought was able to overcome some of his flaws as a coach . bu in the end he has been very successful and so he would have to go to the top of the list for me just under Archie and Bobby . If you think he would be better than Archie or Bobby , Blueman , you could certainly
make a strong argument for Chris Mack and I wouldn't strongly disagree with you. I hope this clarifies my thinking on Mack .
