As has been said a billion times....Archie will have more obligations at IU. He will have to hob nob with donors,admin and alumni exponentially more then when he was here. As Chris has stated, the current and previous AD did their best to minimize the crap he had to deal with.
He was KING in this town. His shortcomings were overlooked and excused. WE LOVED HIM. He could do no wrong. The Admin wanted to pay him in the Top 10. Not in the state, not in the A-10, not in the Non-Power 5.....THE ENTIRE FREAKING NATION.
Archie now enters a pressure cooker where he will be under the microscope. First NIT year or underperforming season under huge expectations and the sharks will circle.
The grass is rarely greener on the other side.
