    Personally I think the level of arrogance he showed recruiting (mainly expecting kids to flock to Indiana because it’s Indiana and not getting out there) is the same mentality he has shown towards the fans with his comments.  I also feel he is an arrogant and stubborn coach in that his inability to change or read the room on the modern game is impacting his ability to adapt and succeed.  Very intelligent dude, but his arrogance is impossible to overcome.  It is not Indiana of the 80’s.  The game is not played like it was in the 80’s.  Recruiting is not what it was in the 80’s.  Now knowing he is back for sure there needs to be a succession plan whether or not he succeeds next year.  What’s the plan for future sustained success beyond Woody?  That really needs to be laid out at some level over the coming days and months.  There needs to be a plan of corrective actions on how to build relationships in state and on the recruiting trail.  Then there needs to be changes on how we play the game next season.  This just does not work in 2024.  Imo

    I haven’t seen the non conference schedule, I assume Woodson will schedule cupcakes to insure the 20 wins happens.

    I’ve seen some arrogant coaches before, but Woodson is up there with the best of them. Calling out the fans is insane.

    I'm not convinced that Woody's plan was to build a team through the portal. I think he got the job, realized how much work it was to actually go out and recruit these kids and decided the portal was going to be easier. Remember, he was an NBA coach. One of the reasons you see guys go to the NBA and stay is because it's not the same kind of grind. A 60 year old coach who's made a career in the collegiate ranks is much different than a 60 year old coach coming from a career in the NBA

    Recruiting.  Recruiting.  We don't need no stinkin' recruiting.  I've got the Cook and Simon family's no limit AMEX cards.

    Guys…

    Imagine having an unparalleled amount of money to recruit and portal with….

    AND

    Having an excellent coach with vision, motivation, a system that works, and the actual ability to coach and recognize what does and doesn’t work.

    Now that would be an excellent approach.


    Hearing Woody is now taking things serious is such a smack in the face. First it’s excuse making again, and second, it’s just an appalling notion to think about.

    People don’t need to accept anything really.  I have no problem riding it out and not being invested as much until a change is made.  If IU only makes it  to the side TVs next year then so be it.

    I still want to know what the end game with Woodson is?
    I keep coming back to the whole “Archie got 4 years so Woodson gets 4 years” narrative. Is there a legitimate plan? Or are we just simply delaying the inevitable? You have to either fire/force retirement or extend Woodson after the next season. Are we letting Woodson coach in hopes he can step down on a higher note? Are we going to extend him so he actually has a prayer recruiting the class of 25 and beyond? 
     
    I think it’s pretty clear the administration has no clue or plan going forward. The further and further Woodson sinks this program the harder it is to climb out of and harder to attract a quality replacement. Dolson needs to say something.

    Of course teams and coaches can make a run with only transfers. There are examples from this year and in the past. However since this is the Fire Mike Woodson thread I’m guessing not many in here believe he would be one of the coaches that could pull it off.    It’s that simple majority are ready to move on from the current staff.   Doesn’t matter if it’s a proven winner, mid major, high major, risky or long time assistant they want change yesterday.   Viewing the current state of all aspects of this program heading into year 4 I can’t blame them.  I’m sure most know i wanted a college lifer coaching and heading into year 4 that remains the same.  This program needs a grinder and he most certainly isn’t that

    There is no plan B. Woodson have very much shown that to be true. 
    Consider the portal last year and all the guards we got. And the 2024 HS recruiting class...

    Yeah, and it's like Woodson is in this position by design. 
    This isn't a strategy, this is an, "oh crap, we're screwed. What do we do now?"

    Good luck with that. He doesn't seem all that competitive at this point, or IU wouldn't be in this situation. 
    He's completely mismanaged this program at this point.

    Woody's ability to target portal players is more than slightly suspect.
    1.  Ware - superb pickup and totally outperformed almost everyone's expectations.  Has logged 859 minutes.
    2.  Walker - Logged 427 minutes of mostly mundane minutes.
    3.  Sparks - Logged 170 minutes of "what has he really done"?
    4.  Rayford - Didn't play a minute in 22-23 for Air Force and hasn't played a minute for us.
    And this man is going to go into the portal and sign up a Sweet 16 or Elite 8 team?  I think not.

    His will to win as a player is irrelevant. That was almost 50 years ago. 
    He's the head coach and his system is brutal. He's all of the sudden doing a complete 180 on how he coaches?
    As someone said above, he's spent all season complaining about having a "young team" and "10 new players" (which wasn't accurate) and now all of the sudden he's going to lead a team full of transfer to the promised land? 
    Color me skeptical.
