Plus, what is he supposed to say? "Oh yeah, I'm out of here first chance I get!" Of course he was going to say he wants to stay.
Indiana is a better job. He should have taken it and he did. I suppose you have never left one job for another...

To some Indiana may be a better job, just ask all of the coaches that have been fired there over the years if they agree. Bigger is not always better. Is Indiana a better "job" than Gonzaga? I have to wonder if Archie is really happier at Indiana. He might be able to recruit at a higher level there, but does that make it a better "job"? Only he knows right now. I watched a video of Archie speaking to the Indiana home crowd after the senior night loss last week - something looked and felt off about it. In my opinion, Archie and Dayton were a very good match - the undersized point guard coaching the underdog. To me, something does not fit with Archie and Indiana. Maybe time will prove me wrong, but I think he had a really good job and left for what he thought might be a better job. Let's see how he feels in a few years. I wonder what Tom Crean would say?
