Herotime

I did! When I saw I had 12 pages to work through I got VERY excited. Now that dinner is over I need everyone to pick up the slack and get me another hit of dopamine!!!

You all really fall off after hours. Come on boys! What’s the skinny? What’s the latest scoop? Who’s got a tidbit or a morsel to pass along? Which way is the wind blowing? What are you hearing?!

Right. And he’s gone next year anyway, what’s the worry?

You all have to stop engaging. Let’s get back to talking about a new coach!!

IMO Woody leaving with his head held high is part of a best-case scenario. Rattling off a few wins against weaker opponents does NOT buy him more time, but it does allow him to leave on a high-note.

No, no, no. We’re still praying. But you are ‘persona non grata’ until you tell me what my itching ears want to hear. (I kid)

You are dead to me

I know. I would like to hear more about this as well, @Chris007

I’m listening

I would have accepted, “I go to bed every night wishing I hadn’t sat on an open scholarship.” This answer, however, is a joke.

10000%

I’m not gonna doom. This game didn’t do anything to prove that CMW should be the coach moving forward. We won at home after blowing a 15 point lead to a flailing Wiscy team. If the admin are looking for reasons to save a sub-par coach they’ll need to do better than that. The first loss next year will be start an avalanche of negativity. Imho CMW has to win several games including games we have no business winning.

How much would a win tonight set back our new coach hopes?

First, I want change as much as anyone. HOWEVER when it comes to the things we LOVE the MOST it’s really easy to criticize and complain about those who we feel are letting us down. So, I’ve felt convicted. CMW has a tough job. Many of the miscues are of his own doing, BUT I suspect there are LOTS factors that have been out of his control. Perhaps he prideful (many high-achievers are). Maybe he’s out of his depth (I’ve been there before). Maybe he needs wisdom… we all do. With that said I’d encourage you to pray for CMW. I don’t think that means you have to want him to continue being the coach, but I do think that keeps things in perspective. He is a professional and he hasn’t produced the way he should. BUT he’s also a man, and all of us could use the prayer— especially him. Not only that— praying for HIM will keep US from falling prey to the arrogance and pride that some have sensed in him. No need to reply. Just food for thought from one Hoosier to the rest.

I just listened to Diporiak on ISBR and he thinks there’s too much risk I’m moving on from CMW This year. I hear this nonsense and I want to smack my head against the corner of my kitchen table.

Maybe Cronin in 1b or 1c?

You can count on me. But when I go radio-silent that could be a tell… to everyone else

When CMW is let go— how will we find out about it? Who do you suspect will be the first to break the story?

I’m not sure Bozich said it. I think the author of the link you used inferred it from Bozich and other sources.

More please.

I wish

I saw Pitino’s name in the Schutte article, but didn’t in the Bozich one.

Interestingly, I didn’t see the Bozich article ever mention Pitino. After Steven’s and Matta it says, “Other names who are believed to be under consideration are Texas Tech coach Chris Beard, former Michigan coach John Beilein; Pacers assistant coach Calbert Cheaney; Baylor coach Scott Drew; Eric Musselman of Arkansas and Michigan State assistant coach Dane Fife, a former IU player.”

Pitino turned us down? Can you share the article you referenced?

Can someone help me understand why Todd Leary is on with Jim Coyle pointing out all of the team’s OBVIOUS insufficiencies but following his criticism by saying “CMW isn’t going anywhere and I don’t want a new coach bc there’s no home run hire out there and I don’t want to start over.” He on the payroll? Help me understand.
