Remember when Purdue was the little step brother? Now we are uncle Rico talking about the glory days living in a van selling fake Tupperware or the guy sitting at a bar with Springsteen in Glory Days.

At the very least we could expect a visitor to come tell us all about the process.

Bad coach gets hate mail. Egotistical entitled bad coach gets even more hate mail. The story at 10.

Wow! Even she wants CMW fired?

Are you aware of any wife/agents being talked to?

Yeah, but who would do that? CMW's ego made certain his staff was filled with yes men and inexperienced coaches. Fire Moe and you have to promote Larry or Curly, Shemp and Joe have no interest in the job.

Deleted tweet by tyme: End of game, Mike Woodson could be seen using the traditional large circular motion with an arm to signal Rice to call time out. These youth today, SMH.

Mike Woodson doesn't learn the rules, the rules learn Mike Woodson

Good points....just annoyed and frustrated that I have gray hair. It's happening younger and younger for IU basketball fans. There is a new product that helps, it's called Just For IU Fans, it only comes in one color though, Mike Woodson Jet Black

Do you think they aren't seeking that guy as we speak? Whatever can be done prior to seasons end is being done.

I can understand your points, and they are all valid. However, I feel that by not moving on from him, every time he shows mediocrity and/or poor performance, and nothing about his future is addressed, it is communicating that it is acceptable. This is what I feel continues to damage the brand. When IU hires the next coach, it will be interesting if high expectations are talked about in the press conference....because right now, those high expectations are not being showing in the lack of communication with how this will end. I think they need to announce that he will be done at seasons end regardless of his feelings on it. If he doesn't like it and walks away before that, so be it.... IU's brand is Great Value to anyone without gray hair, so not sure Woodson is really doing any damage to it for those that it will matter for that the next staff will be looking for. Look, IU football would have embraced mediocrity with open arms up until as recently as 6 months ago, so hire the right guy and that is all that will really matter. Answer yourself this question: What of these choices does firing CMW with 9 games left in the season accomplish? 1) Allows for better coaching by his inexperienced assistants 2) Make a tournament bid more likely 3) Enhance IU's future coaching pool 4) ENhance IU's reputation 5) Satisfy fans blood lust. Other than #5. It pretty much is pointless. If it happens tomorrow, I would rejoice, but in the grand scheme it doesn't really matter.

The point of moving on from that executive would be to put in placer a better option, as such there are none at IU. Other than satisfying the seething fan base there is no reason to fire CMW. I was for firing him earlier, just for fear he might eek out enough wins to be retained. That ship has all but sailed barring Jesus transferring in late season, and he may even struggle in Woodson's offense. And realize the forces that led to retaining CMW last off season are still in place. Woodson's failure and Dolsons fb accomplishments have shifted the power balance, but with no real benefit to firing him this late into this failure of a season, it seems for Dolson to use up the political capital he has amassed to merely pants Woodson seems unwise. Let Woodson lay in the bed he made and then fade into the annuls of IU failed coaching.

All true, but I will say, personnel wise, at least from athletic ability stand point, IU has been the better team in all but maybe 1 or 2 games this season. As basketball players( smarts, discipline, effort, attitude) they have not been and this falls wholly on the coaches.

That again highlighted the dysfunction in coaching and control. For the guys still putting in effort, it's sad. That Rice, Carlyle,Reneau and Tucker have become near unplayable liabilities is mind blowingly bad coaching

That has always been the best scenario, but I doubt CMW's ego would ever agree to that as it would be a transparent firing and that ego is much more important than any player or fanbase to the trigger man in that case.

IU is favored in 2 of their last 9 games so if that goes chalk that puts them at 7-13. Not going to go through all the other teams below IU but I would say that record would be far closer to the 15/16 cut point than would be comfortable.

What's the point of an in season firing at this point. This team is well outside the tourney bubble, there is no even moderately competent replacement on the bench, and there would be only a handful of games left after Wisc. I expect IU shot their shot last night, that was the best effort you will see the remainder of the season, maybe they show up for IU/OU part 2, the rest of the games that they are expected to lose in they will give meager efforts, folding early and often.

He definitely has a mental issue, whether it is pathological narcissism or dementia induced memory loss or something else. He acts as if there isn't nationally broadcast video footage of him waving Rice to bring it up the court and then him staring, mouth agape, at another late game coaching failure.

They are way more likely to not make the B1G tourney than they are to win it.They are just 1 win above the cut bubble with few projected wins left.

That's back when TJD and Race were making CMW money overcoming his hockey line changes and complete lack of in game management

This is just stupid. The AD,admin or fan base are not going to put a new coach on the hot seat after yr one short a sh*t show far eclipsing this years. And 20 wins and the tourney would be a yr 1 godsend not the hot seat benchmark.

LOL he's flat out lying

Good God, the defender is entitled to his space straight up, it's not a foul if the shooter moves into the stationary defender to create contact. The whiny blaming of the refs is embarrassing.

N Conservatively there are 50+ college coaches that could do more with less than CMW, considering IU's physical talent is top 15-20, there are literally 50 currently doing more with less than CMW, the only rude awakening is if they ran it back again with CMW

I am honestly conflicted. Is there any way IU could win by 40 but Woodson lose by 40? Say Woodson gets the flu can't coach and IU win at PU, comes back and they get hammered at Wisky.
