Side by side, very similar results, other than Crean's (3) Sweet 16's.
BUT, Archie did so much more with less.
I can't say whether Crean deserved to be fired and what the expectations are at IU. And nobody can honestly tell you what the expectations are for Archie at IU - because they are not going to be specifically spelled out in black and white - B10 championship by when?, Elite 8 by when?, NCAA's EVERY YEAR no excuses?, Final Four by when?.
Expectations usually don't get fleshed out until after a coach has been fired. So if Archie ever gets fired, then we'll know what the expectations are/were based on what he did and didn't do.
I am at best intrigued by Crean to Dayton, but not overly excited.
