sure we will... we have at least 8 more games... there will be plenty of fodder for this thread... we don't have to "retire" him any more, but we can still b!tch about his coaching.

Nah, Chris... where you lead, we will follow.

I tend to agree with this... and as much as I'd like to see the team play well, I don't want anything about Woodson to rebound in a positive way. He's been a cancer since his return... and he's poured gasoline on the fire at every turn. Regardless of how hard the team plays, Woodson is still managing the substitutions and the flow of the game... With that said, I don't think the general fanbase is as heavily engaged in the muck and mire like many here are... they will probably be glad that he's leaving, and will not be too toxic and might even throw a golf clap in his direction ... but as you said, if things go south tomorrow (or in a future game), it could turn in that direction.

Not on my list... at all.

Update: Michigan 86 Indiana 68 homage to 1976 title game...

That should have been in the original employment agreement... but water wine under the bridge at this point. I do wonder how much the next Senior Day event will cost him, though... sometimes he just can't help himself. :D

Reads like pablum for the baby...

create it. good luck.

Did Dolson get paid (reduced buyout) for writing that tripe?

As I heard it.. after the introductions and pleasantries, Ferguson asked her to leave the room so the men could finalize the deal. BTW, not only was she Brad's wive, she's a lawyer and was his agent.

And we though last year's Senior Day was a crapfest... this one will be epic on so many levels.

Kind of in the vein of "don't thing about green and orange striped caterpillars"...

where's the headband? :D

So much for fiscal responsibility... does the BoT not have a fiduciary responsibility to the University and the taxpayers of Indiana? Is this simple a case of bad management, or is it malfeasance and corruption? I'd love to see this investigated... and prosecution if any wrong-doing that is uncovered.

I'll believe it when I see it. This while thing has been a giant clusterf**k... starting 4 years ago when he was announced as the coach. Then three years of barely getting by... but getting blown out more often that he should have... to be "retained" last year for the massive crapfest that he's given us so far... His attitude has been abrasive, full of hubris. His coaching has ranged from uninspired to abysmal. He doesn't bother reading the room because he sees himself as the smartest person in it. He's been protected for 4 years by Buckner and Ferguson. He's been supported by an twitter army of bots. Now he's done - leaving one way or another. Probably. Maybe. He was certainly not worth the investment, but he managed to pocket some $20M for showing us who he truly is - an entitled, abrasive nepo baby... Just. Go. Away.

We're getting there... may take another month or so, but we'll get there eventually.

Only know you by reputation... Welcome back to BTB!

Yeah, I could actually see that happening... not like they've done enough damage to the program already... But didn't someone (Chris or Jerry) indicate that the guarantee for $5M in NIL funding was in place in an ongoing manner? Wonder how those two things jibe...

I'm sure that Buckner has inserted himself into all of this, as well... mucking up the process and trying to save his buddy's @$$...

Yeah, "dignity" left the building months ago. Just pull the plug.

Agree... but remember, this whole thing is of Woodson's own making.

At this point, I'm good with either. Woodson continues to bring this raining down on himself... IMO, he will face the wrath of the fanbase if he continues to be on the sidelines... and he will have to concede defeat to quit and walk away... either way, I see that his reputation and legacy have been tarnished beyond repair... and it's 100% his doing.

And remember, 5 of the remaining 8 games are at SSAH... so that's 5 more opportunities for Woodson to face an increasingly more toxic environment each time out... gonna be a bumpy ride.

And I do agree with you, that is wrong on every level... there's no place for that in sports or society at large.
