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?

There are so many items that go into evaluating and comparing one job to another - things like pay, recruits, support, history, conference, etc., etc., etc. At this level, the one thing that is pretty undeniable is that you can realistically say at Indiana - “I can win a National Championship here.” It would be really tough to say that at Dayton and be taken seriously.
