Flyer Pain - Tell me I'm crazy

I haven’t been a Flyer Fan for 50 years, but I’ve been a fan long enough to experience true Flyer Pain. I’ve seen the Flyers excite a fan base to the point of hysteria, only to give us soul crushing defeat. I am conditioned to accept Flyer Pain as part of being a Flyer. With each success, in the back of my head, is a “maximum pain scenario”. So please forgive me for what I’m about to say. I’m not a troll, I’m not an x fan, I’ve simply been though too much Flyer Pain and I’m embracing for the next blow.

Archie is doing an incredible job with six scholarship players (seven counting a D.Rodgers return). Archie and team will keep winning. The national publicity will steadily increase as the season goes along, highlighting the beastly coaching job Archie has put forth last year and this year - and the pure basketball clinic this team puts on for thier opponents each and every night.

Due to the success and publicity of this year – Archie, seeing the bare cupboard leaves for whatever job.

We are left with five scholarship players after Siebert and Bass graduate. Our incoming recruits retract their LOI (as they did when Gregory left), and our new coach is left with only five players with no incoming recruits.

The program is sent back to the dark ages and we all yearn for what once was.

Tell me I’m wrong. Tell me I’m crazy. I need to hear it.

The cupboard won't be bare - not a reason for Archie to leave.

HotSauce, learn to enjoy the moment. I understand your viewpoint because all UD Fans have experienced many seasons filled with high expectations followed by big downfalls. Archie will someday leave UD, but he's here now and it is a blast to watch our UD Flyers!
I don't know if it will take another 30 years for UD to make the Elite 8 again or if we can get to the Final 4 within the next 5 years. Who knows? We can worry about the future or simply enjoy what has happened to the team. I choose to enjoy this season. In a way, I really don't want this season to end. It has been a pleasure to watch the guys play.

Thumbs up Arch will be a HOT commodity.

I believe the man has a possible scenario that has a low probability, but nevertheless COULD happen. First, Archie IMO is in a grouping of 3/4 of the best high major coaches in the nation. This current configuration of basketball is showing off his skills terrifically. We are fun to watch and he is getting the most out of every player. And it's a continuation of the same ball we played in the E8. Hot item.

Second, while the cupboard is NOT bare, one or two recruits may have come to Dayton just for Archie. Detwon and Steve are question marks.

The dark ages comment is NOT likely to happen. But a new coach, with a new system could spell regression for the program for a season or two. Maybe the NIT. Most would consider that regression.

We should enjoy every game this season. Who knows what the future brings? This team feels a bit like the run the NIT Championship team made. A clinic in how good basketball is played. Arch is getting all the exposure he rightly deserves. Enjoy the ride folks.

Cupboard bare? Where? Certainly not UD. Come forth to 2015 and stop revisiting the JOB years. All's well here.

Certainly Archie will not retire here at UD but he is in no hurry nor should he be. Wait patiently for the right job to open, till then take Dayton to the promised land.

You're wrong (I'm not sure about crazy), but Archie's cupboard isn't bare.
The bare cupboard might be yours (you know - where you usually keep your meds)

If guys like Jay Wright and JTIII and Mark Few can find their happy place at a basketball-only school, whats to prevent Dayton from being that same sort of happy-place destination job that pays a competitive salary with the big programs yet has all the perks of being the only game in town without the dark shadow of Power-5 football cannibalizing your community buzz?

The grass is not always greener. Ask our women's basketball coach. Nobody accuses Gonzaga any longer of "being in the wrong league" and unable to be an NCAA tournament favorite.

Love or hate Brian Gregory, but I doubt he leaves for any job not named Michigan State if he had this program rollin' and not in the 8-8 A10 malaise. He and his family liked the fit and felt an ownership of the program. The Gregorys STILL love Dayton.

Hopefully Archie feels the same way. BG did not leave b/c of money and our current coach wont either. UD will always make it a difficult choice if they like the coach they have. But lets not put carts before horses. Lets figure out how to beat Fordham.

Agree Chris R! Grass may be greener on the other side of the fence but the water bill is higher. A friend was at the GTech vs Syracuse game at GTech and he said there were more Syracuse fans than Gtech fans!

I'm sorry, but this guy has to be a troll, might be from X, might be from any of our A10 opponents. But no matter what happens the rest of this season or after, last season's Elite Eight appearance is a pain killer for many years for a Flyer fan. We might hope for more, but pain is the last thing on our minds at this point in time.

I still look at the Sean Miller template. Sean stayed at XU until a premium job opened up. I think there are about 20 premium jobs in the country. Several have coaches that are getting close to retirement (Boeheim, Coach K, Izzo) but most have lineage that will probably be considered first (Wojo at Duke, etc).

A school like Kansas that has resources and tradition but not a coaching legend that has successful lineage will be his target. A school like Kansas St will not.

My gut tells me that AM will be here for another 5 years. The only risk I see after this year is if Indiana fires Crean.

I appreciate the sentiments, hotsauce. When you're tortured for so long you expect more torture not kindness.

But in this case past performance (JOB, BG) is not necessarily indicative of future results. When AM leaves, we'll get another coach. And that coach will see that UD has a very high value, and be honored to take the job. If managed correctly we will not necessarily fall into another average coach.

Don't worry about something over which you can't control. Sit back and enjoy the ride particularly after last night's win at SBU.

However, to increase your paranoia, one criticism about Doug Marrone, who left Syracuse to coach the Bills and now left the Bills, and other coaches, is the comment that coaches all have "one eye on their next coaching position."

Does that make you feel more secure? R-E-L-A-X

I get the feeling that AM won't leave until he's ready and the right job is available. That's in the conjunctive. AM is learning on the job. He was open about recognizing the need for change last January. He's clearly learned a lot about ball movement this year. He's learned a bit about character and commitment to change this year. I just don't see him jumping to a destination school until he is ready. I can see that taking 5+ years. It makes sense.

I too see him following his brother's lead and waiting for a big time program to come calling.

If he has any thoughts of leaving for a team lower than a top 20 program he should have a talk with Dayton's vball head coach Tim Horsmon. Tim had NCAA success with Dayton then left to coach Maryland. He had ties to Maryland, a big name school with no recent vball success. He was not able to turn the Maryland program around during his 5 year stay. Now he is back coaching the Flyers, and back coaching in the NCAA tournament. If anyone can get across that sometimes it pays off to stay at Dayton, it's the UD success story of Tim Horsmon.

Let's not give hotsauce too hard of a time. His "timing" might have been off, but the question is not so crazy. Because of the injuries and dismissals, we are particularly reliant on next years Freshmen (and Steve M). If that class comes in as planned, I think we have the chance to get on a Gonzaga/Xavier type run. However, it is fragile right now. If we were to lose Archie after this year, the class could fall apart. The roadmap is in place for the next coach, but it would be a delay in our progress.

As Springborofan said, my biggest concern is IU. You would have to think that job is worth Archie giving it a listen.

Ultimately, as many have said, we can't worry about what is outside our control. What is within our control is enjoying this amazing coach and group of kids as they pour their hearts into representing UD.

Thank you all for talking me off the ledge. You are correct that I need to sit back and enjoy and I will do that. I'm just conditioned like a dog who is beaten with a newspaper to be scared of all newspapers. Thus, I fear any and all Flyer Success is only a means to a greater Flyer Pain. Flyer Pain has been such a staple of my Flyer Life, I can't help but fear it.

I wake up in the middle of the night and wonder what Brian Roberts could have done in the NCAA Tournament. My Flyer Soul is weak and needs nurturing - thank you for helping me. The E8 run was a euphoric experince ('a' or 'an' before euphoric?). But I fear the pain. The pain lurks inside my Flyer Soul and it waits.

Together we can crush the pain. This will be fixed. I will make my pilgrimage to The Arena and The Faithful will restore me.

God bless The University of Dayton Flyers.

If your Flyer Soul is hurting after an Elite 8 run and the way these guys have been playing this year with the adversity they have dealt with...you need to see a Psychiatrist...and crush some Xanax to snort.

I thought I was the only one who still agonized about what the Brian Roberts/Chris Wright season could have been . . .

I am also a Cubs fan. I "feel" your pain.

But I have never stopped believing and hoping - and enjoying the ride

HotSauce....I'll reply to your post but before I do would you mind answering the following questionnaire regarding the picture posted below?

1. Bikini is way too small. She should wear something that fits
2. Horrible smile
3. Messy hairdo. My God girl, who is your beautician?
4. Necklace isn't hanging properly.
5. Wow.

UdBaby, best come back post ever. Hotsauce can't be a real fan. Only through the pain, can you feel the joy. I cried tears of joy when UD beat OSU last year. You will never feel that. Archie may leave someday. If its right for him, then Godspeed. The school, tradition and flyer faithful will continue. I suggest you follow Kentucky, you won't feel as much pain.

That Elite 8 run erased my pain from 2000, 2003, 2004, 2008, and 2010. I feel no pain.

Pass that pipe to me and whatever awesomeness is in it next time instead of around the circle. Cupboard bare? You realize Baby D,Dyshawn and the Super Sophs all have eligibility beyond this year right?

Not to mention Steve,Cooke and the 4 headed solid recruiting class. Archie would be a fool to leave unless a top 10 job comes calling

Tim had NCAA success with Dayton then left to coach Maryland. He had ties to Maryland, a big name school with no recent vball success. He was not able to turn the Maryland program around during his 5 year stay. Now he is back coaching the Flyers, and back coaching in the NCAA tournament. If anyone can get across that sometimes it pays off to stay at Dayton, it's the UD success story of Tim Horsmon.

You can also add Coach Jabir to that same storyline. Successful coach at Marquette left for the promised land at Providence where he failed to bring the friars to national prominence and was fired. He too knows a thing about leaving for what may appear greener pastures only to find out it wasn't as green as thought. Neither Tim nor Jabir got the support they had at their previous stints and learned its best to stay where you are and build from there.

Wouldn't be surprised to see both TH and JJ to retire at UD. As for AM he will have to have the same support from the community, administration and students before he would leave. Agreed a top perennial 20 program or bust.

Agree, but with one exception. I have a feeling if NC State (which is not a top 20 program) comes calling for Archie, he will seriously consider the job because of his and wife's NC background. So I think we should all root that NC State has a decent record year after year so they never fire their coach.
