The administration talked to him early about taking the right next job. They realized he would leave as soon as he proved he was an excellent coach. Too many schools wanted him. That happened almost right away. I remember having the conversation about that year 2 of his tenure with an administration person.

That is why his contract had three schools in his escape clause.

The administration did not want him to leave and tried to counter the offer from IU.
That is not at all correct. This is EXACTLY what Archie stated in the USA Today Article:

"So, to me being able to coach here as long as they want me to, that's what I'm happy about. Coming into this season, higher expectations, more awareness. We've been able to play and win games."
