Yall maybe right in advising him to not pay any mind to the FB posters. But rest assured, the excuses this year , those will turn into new excuses next year. Carr will be one scapegoat. A weak portal another and not enough NIL money will be used again. What's so very obvious is DD's inability to coach or motivate a roster of handsomely paid athletes. Lack of ability is uncontrollable.. it's what God gave them... effort , attitude and preparation they can control. RMK was a stickler for this .. this is why he won. He demanded it. His teams weren't always the best of talent levels.. but they were never outworked and rarely outsmarted due to their preparation... DD doesn't have this. ... so he will continue to produce lackluster results with a very low ceiling and a very low floor. I think many now see what I've seen for months. But there are still many who don't want to believe it. Who want to put rose colored glasses on. I don't at all buy into the strategy that a coach has to have 2 years or 4 years if they demonstrate a stark and obvious inability to adapt and develop a team over the course of a season. This team is worse that it was in November. They lacked discipline, motivation and were poorly prepared, especially in the second half where no coaching was done to adjust. If an opponent offers no impediment to my initial efforts I will beat them each time and for the entirety of the game. But that's not reality. What we have is an individual who hasn't been able to overcome adversity, whether it is in practice or in game. Or in recruiting.. so why we would waste another year. As the title says ... is beyond me... buyout or not.

What I have learned over the last 15 years is there is always an excuse for the coach no matter how long they have been here. I knew in year one archie was not the guy but the excuses continued for another several years just like they will with DD. If next year is like this one I bet people blame carr and say he gave DD bad advice. DD is not the answer he may have a few 21-12 seasons as a ten seed but that is the ceiling imo
@arioznahoosier4554 If IU doesn't make the tournament next year and it's exactly like this year with no development, no program standard being set IU should cut bait. There was almost nothing that can be taken from this year outside of we need better players, that can be used to build upon.

at this point we've sucked so long that you have to give another yr.
if nothing else, just to prove this yr was not due to the late start, recruiting, etc.
that said, 15 million only bought 6 q1 & q2 wins. 2.5 million per win.....not good.
many fans don't make devries yearly salary in their lifetime and have every right to be unhappy
coaching at that pay scale is all about production. make it happen or find someone who will
I'm not optimistic about next yr but am curious to see what happens
I do hope he can get it together

He gets four years because we have stunk so long most of us are convinced even if they fire him they will hire somebody just as bad. Its just rinse and repeat so at this point it really does not matter they have proven to be incapable of hiring a great coach. Not much of a point of throwing a ton of money at bbal anymore when you can use it for football.
Basketball absolutely needs to be de-emphasized. Football drives everything. Any school not good at football is completely irrelevant and will get left behind when new TV contracts are negotiated.

I think its probably good we had the football success we did so we would quit putting all our time and effort into a basketball program that has not been relevant in 30 years. We now have something else to cheer finally instead of a dead program

The bar is so low that just 22 wins will keep him here a very long time. He should be greatful the last two coaches were so bad just make the tourney and Dolson will say you did your job. Like many have said this is a retirement gig you come to IU to get rich.
@ams66 I use my wife's Facebook as long as I tell people it is me and not her.
While I regarded God as a tyrant I thought my sin a trifle; But when I knew Him to be my Father, then I mourned that I could ever have kicked against Him. When I thought God was hard, I found it easy to sin; but when I found God so kind, so good, so overflowing with compassion, I smote upon my breast to think that I could ever have rebelled against One who loved me so, and sought my good.” C. H. Spurgeon

you have a point but significant improvement next yr or he has to go....next man up
the losing is bad enough but looking like they don't have a clue while doing it is a dealbreaker

It is not going to happen at IU you do not get fired after two years. You just do not. Like many have said this is 100% a retirement gig. DD will walk away with over 20 million dollars in two or three years and never have to work another day in his life if he does now want too. They say noboby wants this job but why not you get 20 million to basically stink for four years. Most places pay you maybe 3 million tops to stink IU pays you 5 million to stink.
I expected IU to compete for a NCAA spot, and they did that. Not much you can do if you can score five feet from the basket. That's all roster construction. There have been signs that he isn't the guy but there have also been signs that he can learn from his mistakes. Let's hope he does.
