I could see some “Keep Mike Woodson” chants from the PU student section. Wouldn’t shock me to be one of those games where Woody gets himself thrown out of the game just so he doesn’t have to face the beatdown.

If you want, you can send me the DM and I’ll see if it’s what I thought you were gonna say or not

Hopefully we hear some more news of things that could happen today. Anxious to see if anything else comes of what Chris said about major donors having enough. Fridays game at Purdue, will definitely make the team/Woodson a laughing stock.

Right after I typed this I could hear it on tv!

There’s enough IU fans there to get a good “Fire Woodson” chant going, right? Ha

…I could be wrong but I think Chris is just playing along with the back and forth….i just don’t see him being here next year at all.

Trying to talk myself into just being “chill” and expect nothing to happen til seasons end and just enjoy the rest of the year knowing once it’s over he’ll be gone….but the thought of a chance of him getting kicked to the curb early is still grasping on for dear life, ha.

So I agree that Woodson and staff seemed a little extra pumped to come out with the win against Ohio State. Almost like a “yes! We get to live another day!” type of reaction. I wonder if that is indeed the case. Like someone said, I wonder if they were told if you keep winning you can keep staying but if not and it’s bad then you’re done. Would a bad Northwestern loss prevent him from being the coach at home against Maryland and then the rest of the season? I’m anxious to find out. I know we’ve gone down this road before talking about some people still think he’ll get to finish the season while others still think he won’t be coaching the next home game. I think their reaction to escaping the Ohio State game makes their fate kinda interesting if there really is something to that.

I know before the OSU game there were some on here who thought Mike Woodson won’t coach another game in Assembly Hall. Since we managed to escape by the hair of our chinny chin chin with a win, do we still think there’s a chance he won’t coach again at home? I think fans are to the point where it really doesn’t matter that we happened to win that game. Fans are still displeased with what’s going on and I think would still show their disappointment even though we won our last game.

I just want this guy gone so bad. His demeanor/attitude just drives me nuts. Only thing I think he’s improved on past couple months or so is that he hasn’t referred to himself in the third person nearly as much, so good for him on that one. I’m sure it’s a downright fact that he’s done after this season, but I wish like heck it’d be sooner than that. Beating his chest and players saying I told you so because they barely beat not very good teams is ridiculous. After 4 years of the same crap and how he’s treated fans/media, does he really deserve to limp through the rest of the season just so he can tell everyone he did his job? I don’t like it when we lose, but to be honest, this morning I was kinda mad that we won last night. He’s gonna get to insist he’s doing his job and that the results were the best that could have happened. NO, THEY WERE NOT. I’m sorry, but here’s to hoping I’d rather see us lose to Northwestern by 20 than to beat them by 3 and have Woody throw his hands in the air like we just knocked off a top 5 team. Trying to convince myself to just relax and let him ride out the season if he’ll just be gone anyways…I’m just over it, ha.

I guess it really doesn’t matter either way if he’s 100% gone regardless, but you think it’s most likely gonna not be til the end of the season now or still could be a chance before season ends?

Still think even if we win tonight they could stick with the plan of moving on from him this weekend? I’m nervous and need the reassurance, haha.

Gosh I really hope squeezing out a win here isn’t a positive for Woodson. We aren’t playing a very good team at all. I’ve already got my hopes too high about him being done this weekend, ha

“Well again, Malik is a big piece of the puzzle, and then Tucker was out with a finger. I mean, it’s tough man. When you’re short handed like this there’s nothing I can do, especially on the road. Coaching’s hard man. I just gotta keep workin, and pushin these guys to get us where we need to be.” - postgame Woodson, probably

He’ll just be like, “well again, we were short handed tonight so there’s nothin much I could do..”

I wonder if some of the players have made it to the point where they don’t care about winning these next couple games if it means Woody will be out the door. Maybe they aren’t on board with Woody anymore and have packed it in…I mean heck, Mackenzie liked a post that said “Fire Woodson”, haha. They have just been playing like they don’t give a crap at all lately (more so than normal). If this ends up being Woodson’s last game if they play poorly enough, they have to know that right?

So you think after tonight’s game there will be an interim for the rest of the season regardless of the outcome, which is why you said just get through tonight? Dang that’d be great.

So regardless of tonight’s outcome, if we just have to get through tonight, he will no longer be coach after tonight game, correct? p.s. Im in favor of throwing the “Fire Scott Dolson” thread straight into the trash.

Hopefully the emergency meeting was to say “we can NOT let this man get on the team plane to Columbus…” haha.

Would something like that actually happen though? Woodson end up not getting on the flight without some type of statement saying he’s not the coach any longer?

I just don’t want a chance at a lucky performance at Ohio State or Northwestern to buy Woodson more time before he’s out. It’s fools gold. We know how he acts, we know how the team acts/plays. Ohio State could happen to have an off game and we get lucky to win and then Woodson beats his chest saying see, I told you so, I’m the king. Screw that crap.

If they end up going the announcement route at the next home game, I would hope the next two games have nothing to do with the decision to do that. They should already be at that point.

You heard anything else that makes you confident they are leaning towards naming an interim replacement rather than letting him ride out the season then “retire”?
