Done with Woodson.  Unqualified.  Had his chance, along with staff.  Downward projection.  None of them don’t know what they are doing nor care that much.  No enthusiasm, lazy and a gig for as long as it lasts They need to be gone.

Don’t want no big name anything.

Rather, want someone who is yet to have big time success to enjoy their ride to the top.

1.  Dusty May

Others to consider Schertz…I think May and Schertz play the same type of game.  And Alford.

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

So what happens if Mack and Malik stays and we get Newton back and add McNeely. If we make a splash in the portal with SOME shooters do we have the talent to get over the Hump (No Pun Intended) lol. I'm assuming Trey comes back as well?

Just a comment in regards to Newton.  I think it's a huge mistake if we put a lot of faith in Jakai being a major contributor next season.  Kid hasn't played competitive ball in 2 years.  Would dearly love to have him prove me wrong but if the staff puts that kind faith in his return, then that's one less upgrade we'll be looking for in the portal.

Both have 3 years of P5 HC experience.  I can't even imagine the reaction from the mob if we replaced Woody with Schrewsberry.

I'm not advocating for Shrewsberry, but atleast he'd be an active HC when hired. Yes, IU set the bar that low when hiring Woodson; let's not underestimate how stupid that move was.

Depends. Do we revamp the staff? In that case, who is hiring the staff replacements? Who has Woodson ever evaluated at this level? Every hire has been forced, retained from previous staff, or a recommendation hire (Yasir). Does Woodson even listen to the new staff?

As scary as trying to replace multiple holes in the roster next year may be, who is going to coach them up? Who is going to develop and maximize their talent?

This is one hellacious thread.

Heres the vibe From January, 2021. The general board take in mid-January was “They’ll never fire Archie after this year.” Wrong-O! Lots of love for Beard, who was two jobs ago.

Some sample posts:

Get past this “multiple final fours/Mark Few/Brad Stevens/geriatrics with no experience/70 year old John ‘players are thugs’ Belien” complete nonsense.

For real?

Archie isn’t getting canned at the end of the season. There’s about 0% chance of that.

Offer Stevens $8million a year.

Let his wife run the Law School / replace Quinn Buckner on the Board of Trustee's.

Im not sold on a coach who hasn’t coached in four years and was in declining health and overall program success. 
 

I’d like to think we can do better than Thad Matta.

Agree completely, and that’s coming from the biggest Newton fan whose last name isn’t Newton. But I will say this: before that kid got hurt he was every bit the player that Stephon Castle was and Castle is now a 1 and done lottery pick. Not saying Newton is that. Just saying he’s 1 hell of a lottery ticket and I really hope he stays.

Who would’ve predicted that Chris Collins was probably the best call out of LCS’s entire list!

Still only 49. Not my cup of tea but I’m curious what he can do after Boo Buie graduates. If they can maintain some level of quality I wonder if he’ll get a look at a bigger job if he wants it eventually.

I don't know much about the guy but his overall record and the direction in which he's taken each program he's coached (except Iowa State) speaks for itself, most notably in his current gig.

Greg McDermott. I don't know, maybe that's a dumb idea and/or recency bias (yes while I'm watching Creighton lol). He's probably locked in there. But you can't deny he improves every program he's touched.

Agreed we have no idea if he will be any good or not. It was like the faith many seemed to have in gunn for this year.
