I used to sit next to our meteorologist at work and a good friend is a fireman. This video clearly means a process is brewing. Despite the energy building in that cloud-fire it is not fueled by emotions. It is a process brewing. Some are hoping one person can step in and understand it and fix it but when you see it rolling and churning like that it means the process involves many. It is easy to miss these signs but I gained a lot of visceralness from my friends and am happy to explain for the rest of you.

Especially with the Bomba stuff happening. Can’t see IU going a controversial route in this manner right now.

You can be interested and still not decide to accept. Different levels of interest. I had a lot of interest in this really cool job in DC a few years back. Would have had a ton of perks but in the end the timing was not right so I said no.

Does it really matter. Some come to the right decision slower than others and we are not all going to agree on things. We are all on the same train now. Good days ahead for Hoosier fans.

So does the pissing off of Tracy get resolved easily? If @Chris007 keeps calling her Kathy will that anger her again? Is Ferguson still involved?

Kathy?.?

Could be a troll too. She just comes when we are most feisty and his seat is scorching,

Pops becomes Team Doctor?

?

Actually i dont think she is here to stir the fans up but is sent out to try and calm the fanbase. Seems she shows up each time Woody's seat starts to get really hot. Does not seem she is able to calm things down though.

Why in the world do we need our Diebler? We are not looking for an interim to then become our head coach. Finding an interim is not the goal but taking Woody and the team our of the crosshairs of a fanbase that has given up on them. It is an ugly look for IU when the fans boo and we do not want any more reasons to scare the next coach away.

The goal of a change now is not to salvage this season. It is also not to find out if an interim coach might become the coach. The fan base is/has given up on Woodson and subsequently the team. The fan base will act like last night but progressively worse as this continues and there is no messaging from IU that a change will be made. Letting the crowd get ugly will draw unwanted media attention and will make filling the job harder. That is the goal for Dolson and IU. To preserve a viable reputation and to have IU appear to be an attractive place to coach. Letting this drag on runs counter to that.

Hopefully, at a minimum, if Woody is not released midseason they make an announcement that he will be retiring at the end of the year. If I were the AD, I would know that home crowds, media etc is just going to get worse if a bad season continues. A lot of the booing comes from fans who have no other opportunity to express their opinion on the state of the program. It gets the AD and trustees attention as that and empty arenas continue night after night. So while true fans would likely not boo their team, they often have too because they do not feel their opinions are being considered. If they were to announce he is retiring, then more grace would be given during the season. That does not mean there would be no boos from the crowd but I am pretty sure it dials that pressure down a lot.

I did not think Beard was a "not follow rules guy" but more of a potential drinking problem guy.

I think this needs to be vetted more. He has a low buyout. I hope he set that because of IU but I think we are assuming a lot here
