And without the roster he inherited Woodson has struggled to even be mediocre.

This. They know the game as players, and they were good players. That doesn't mean they are or can choose good coaches. Not at all uncommon for good players to be bad on the other side of things.

Get a DeLorean then go back and fire him after last season. Or better yet, go back and just not hire him.

I think it's less trying to defend Buckner and Woodson and more trying to explain how things worn at IU. Which when you consider the last 25 years then the way IU does things needs to be examined, it's not been good.

https://247sports.com/player/nitro-tuggle-46134252/ Tuggle scouting report on 247 Tall, long, but lean frame. Has fluidity and natural coordination in his movements. That shows up as he runs routes as he can smoothly change directions, but he is still working on his overall route running technique. Has good ball skills and a wide catch radius thanks to length, athleticism and hand-eye coordination. Slippery after the catch and elusive especially for his height. Must fill in and get stronger while refining his game but has a high ceiling. Clear Power Five prospect who still has a lot of runway to play his best football in college.

I'm sorry, Bucker shouldn't get a pass for thinking it was the right hire. Woodson was in his 60s, never coached college and hadn't been a HC in nearly a decade with zero demand, even Stevie Wonder could see it was a bad hire from the jump.

I'd love to see us get involved with Blomstrom. Productive and versatile at the FCS level.

Marcus Freeman Googled Curt Cignetti. Spoiler, he wins.

Didn't make sense to do it last season, but here we are. Rich people are quite capable of spending money in stupid ways.

We passed the time for a coaching change. We've reached 'launch from the nearest cannon' stage.

Appointed by the governor, I believe.

Woodson clearly just needs more time. He didn't even know Indiana such such a problematic hump, no way he can figure out how to get over it in 4 years.

How else would Woodson get a head coaching job? Literally no one else wanted him.

It's a partial list of reasons why Mike Woodson should've been fired last year.

I could easily see 1-1. Don't underestimate Woodson's ability to have his team get dog walked outside of AH by anyone with a pulse.

Has he been yet?

Indiana shooting against Indiana's perimeter defense. That would be one ugly game to watch.

A look at the "building consensus" that led to hiring Mike Woodson.

That's a very low bar (no, IU, I'm not suggesting playing limbo), but yes he definitely was.

Crean Miller and Woodson tied at blech.

We had some donors pay a lot of money to try, just to find out that there is no roster Woodson can't underachieve with.

I just remembered he's getting paid 4m to screw up a 6m roster. I don't know if I should laugh or cry. Honestly the level of stupid is kind of impressive.

I mean they gave Woodson a 6m roster to screw up, so obviously.

Mike Woodson is in agreement. He did his job.

Hate to lose Sunseri right after getting a big increase in salary for assistants, but having assistants other programs want is a good problem to have. Good thing the others are staying on board.
