I don’t think the admin ever wanted to fire Woody, buying him out after 3 seasons would have been a complete embarrassment! But I do believe that they were seriously thinking about it, and had we lost these last three games or even two of the last three he might have been replaced. But the team did seem to rally around him and I think the announcement is being made now in case we lose the next game and exit the tournament in one game….it would be tough to make the same announcement if that happens.
I don’t see this changing much, Woodson will get one more, if it looks anything like the first three he will be gone at the end of next season. Dolson was in a tough spot, I don’t totally blame him, I still support the team and the program and I believe there is still a good chance we get a home run hire, it’s just going to take an extra year! In the meantime, if the team continues to play the way they are now, IU may not be such an easy out in the BTT!
