Maybe they are being misdirected because Dolson doesn't want another Woodson.

It's pretty simple. If he want's to coach college, he knows the job is his. All he needs to do is pick up the phone. If he doesn't want it, then move along. No reason to belabor it.

You don't know my family. :)

And don't forget, Dolson will likely "leak" stories to send people on wild goose chases thinking they know something.

Sure, but that is exactly why he sucks. Extremely easy to put a simple statement together, as you have shown above. Instead, he wants to run an hide.

Yeah, he got one thing wrong though. Woodson isn't a grown man. He's a petulant child.

Don't let him leave the building. :)

The best coaches (or CEO, or hamburger flippers, or whatever) surround themselves with smart people, change and adapt. There was zero reason Woodson couldn't have come to IU, learned the college game, listened to guys like Matta and Fife, adapted his offense/defense schemes, and succeeded. Except his stupid ego, which has him where he is at -- a failed coach and a ruined player legacy.

So it sounds like Dolson leaked the “contemplating retirement” story to force Woodson’s hand.

Exactly.

Yeah, that's not what was said though. But I hear you. Time to track those flights. :)

Why not? Why would Dolson say anything but "ok, let me help you pack?" You're trying to convince me that Dolson said, "no wait Mike, let's not make a rash decision. You should stick around and get the team over the hump." Sometimes you take the win when the other team gives it to you. The second Mike says "I quit" you book it. No tag backs.

What are things that didn't happen. If that has any truth to it at all, Dolson says "cool, you need a few boxes to clean out your office?" Helps him pack his truck, and then appoints and interim HC and drafts a statement.

Clearly the release is a bunch of BS. Doesn't square with the reported "contemplating" retirement crap. If he actually told Dolson on Wed. that he wanted to step down, the statement could have been drafted by that afternoon. No need to wait until late Friday. I was born at night, but not last night. Anywho, thank god it's over. Time to start tracking flights. :)

So since Woody decided to "step down" we shouldn't see a transfer of some $8 million, right?

In other words, please don't boo on Saturday. LOL. :)

Get ready gents. National freaking TV tomorrow. Optics? Yeah right.

I get it, some media dudes have "reported" it. Yet it's 3:00 on a Friday afternoon. 24+ hours after the "reports" broke. Yet nothing from the University. Why do you think that is?

Just headed out for a wine and cigar run for after the game tomorrow. :)

Baloney. Lawyers can tidy this up in a matter of hours if both clients want it to end. HOWEVER, if one client is being difficult it drags out like it is. And we all know who that client is. Dolson's other option, which should be taken at this point, IMHO, is to go by the contract and fire him. F the payout. In fact, tell him it's for cause -- sucking so bad -- and to "sue me" for the buy out.

Yeah, last I checked none of them worked for the University, let alone the Athletic department. Until it's on university letterhead, it don't mean squat.

Tasty wave and cool buzz. :)

Who said so? Name please.

And you know this how? He's clearly using a power play. If he wins, Dolson could be the odd man out. I doubt it, but now this is making the University look like chit. Rumors, and nobody really knows what is going on. Need to end this.

Already Noon and no official word from the University. What a freaking clown show. Clearly a lot of BS is happening behind the scenes. Scott needs to go to Whitten and end this chit. Since he won't go peacefully, fire his sorry a$$ for insubordination (among other things) and escort him out of the building. There's a game in 24 hours.
