It’s more about track record and timing with Pearl.

Respect and trust are capital that are earned and can be squandered.

FIRE MIKE WOODSON

you stop that right now

I’d love to see him go to UofL

Watching Oakland makes me want IU to fire CMW. That’s all.

Exactly my point

Someone needs to protect Woody from CMW. If he wants to go out on a high note it won’t come via wins and losses. It will be about leaving at the right time… ie the moment Bruce Pearl says he’s ready to come north.

Let us pray

If you had to guess what’s it take for the 5% to increase?

This times 1,000000000

The best thing CMW could do for next season is go play golf.

I mean… it’s like he was talking directly to us. Pearl jokes: "I've always been a guy who knows the 3-point shot is worth more than the 2-point shot. Not everybody's got that figured out." 2/27/2024 https://247sports.com/college/auburn/article/auburn-basketball-tennessee-2024-preview-bruce-pearl-227808248/

I’m telling you, Dolson has his guy lined up. I don’t think Woody lasts ten more days.

Don’t you think it is suggestive or odd that @JerryYeagley23 hasn’t dropped in just to say ‘Wake up’ or ‘Better shut this thread down until 2025.’ There’s only silence coming out of the places you’d expect assurance and nonsense and goonishness from the staff. Makes me wonder.

But no one is asking ‘why’ he wanted the t. They assume it’s bc he’s petty. I mean losing by a ton isn’t new for him or the team.

Maybe he’s prepping the team for his departure

Any chance Woody retires at the presser?

Did he get hurt?

Unfortunately he’s become so unlikeable for me that I have a difficult time enjoying the team’s success. Were he to display some humility and tact the recent win-streak would be much sweeter. His snarky condescension makes it much harder to give him credit for any improvement or benefit of the doubt in earlier shortcomings. It’s so much easier to say he’s beating crap teams because he comes across so arrogantly.

Outside of two posters on this site I haven’t conversed with anyone (online or in person) who wants CMW to return. It’s anecdotal but it’s my experience in southern Indiana.

Yes. A fan can want one loss today so that there may be hundreds of wins later. Sometimes good things need to be pruned back for greater growth in the future… and imho this was far from good. The thing is I’m not calling you less of a fan even though I think you’re being short-sited.

Congratulations. This is officially the dumbest take. Of course everyone has a right to feel how they feel. Fine. But it’s condescending to suggest YOU (through omniscience, I guess) seem to know what a real fan is and isn’t. This is why (imho) the good takes you have from time to time get overlooked or dismissed. I don’t remember a vote where we determined who was and wasn’t in the minority perspective. Perhaps, the vote was for real fans only. Exactly what is an over the top fan since you seem to know? THAT is creating your own story to fit your own thoughts. You’re right, tho. You do have a right to disagree. So do the players and coaches. But to claim you know who’s a real fan? Not so much. And to give the players hundreds of thousands of dollars or the coach millions and millions of dollars only to suggest THEY know who’s a real fan and who’s not is trash.

MAYBE when CMW says he’ll be back next year he really means as the kindly old grandfather emeritus, and when Galloway says he’s playing for the best coach in the world he means Bruce FREAKIN’ Pearl!!!!
