Crean vs Archie

DUDE ANOTHER COACHING THREAD?
Yes, I know we have a lot of coaching threads but I think this one is worthy of its own topic. As Archie Miller fans, I think it's worth looking at exactly what Archie has to do to outperform Tom Crean who was fired before him. And as Dayton fans, l think it's worth thinking about how we might feel about Tom Crean coaching Dayton since he is available for hire, and also as a means of examining expectations at Dayton vs Indiana. The purpose of this thread is all of that.

ARCHIE VS CREAN, A COMPARISON
First, let us compare what Archie has done at Dayton vs what Tom Crean has done at Indiana. Since this is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately world, let's start with their records since 2011-12 (Archie's first season).

ARCHIE MILLER
W-L 139-63
NCAA Tourneys: 4
NCAA W-L: 5-4
Sweet 16s: 1
Elite 8s: 1

TOM CREAN
W-L 138-69
NCAA Tourneys: 4
NCAA W-L: 6-4
Sweet 16s: 3
Elite 8s: 0

CONCLUSIONS AND QUESTIONS

CONCLUSION A: Archie Miller's results at Dayton would likely get him fired at Indiana.

QUESTION A: Will Archie be able to do better than Crean, delivering the final fours and championships that Indiana expects, or will he fall short of that mark, and thus get canned?

CONCLUSION B: If Tom Crean did at Dayton what he did at Indiana, he would be getting a raise, and absolutely not getting fired.

QUESTION B: Could Tom Crean do at Dayton what he did at Indiana (multiple sweet 16s) or even what he did at Marquette (a final four)? And as a follow up to that question, would you as a Flyer Fan be excited to find out?
