From Doyel:
You think I'm kidding here? I'm not. The only reason I'm not calling Archie Miller a home run hire is because that would insult the kind of tape-measure shot Fred Glass just launched. This home run is going to break windows all over the Big Ten.
Other reaction to the hire was just as positive:
Terrific hire for Indiana. Archie Miller is a smart hoops mind, great recruiter.

Initial reaction: If there's another coach in America under 40 as highly regarded as Archie Miller, I do not know him. #iubb

Archie Miller is tremendous - also proves you don't leave the best job in your league unless u are getting the best job in another league

Bob Kravitz, who was the longtime sports columnist at the Indianapolis Star before moving to WTHR TV (where he broke the Deflategate scandal), talked to Thad Matta about Miller and whether he can handle the expectations at Indiana. Kravitz also spoke to Butler coach Chris Holtmann about Miller, but his money quote was from Ohio State’s Matta.
"... as far as dealing with the stuff that comes with the Indiana job, he's going to take the approach of `You can take your Internet and all your whatever and you can shove it up you're a** and I'm going to do my job. I'm here to win games,''' Matta told Kravitz.
