 Woodson still some has sympathizers/supporters. He wins a couple of games…he will try and come back…it will be up to the admin on how to move forward…I assume everything will go to plan and he won’t be back next season, but it’s still a thought. Woodson is not Mike Davis.

Chris said about a week ago that Woodson signed paperwork agreeing to leave.

He actually thinks a nail biter home win against a bubble team is something to crow about? I'm mystified by how a person can ignore such obvious failure.  It saddens me a bit that he makes it hard to root for this team.

Agreed. Woodson clearly thinks this is good and that’s based off his comments alone regarding “21 wins” and “retiring too soon.” This team, with the talent it had, barely sneaking into the tournament is a failure and the definition of mediocrity. It would be downright scary to think where this program would be with Woodson as head coach in the non-NIL era.

I know he did. I’m not disputing that. I’m just saying a couple wins here and there in the tournament and it concerns me what might happen. I mean, his comments yesterday didn’t necessarily breathe a sigh of relief. Again, I’m not saying i would bet he would come back…just saying I can’t help but wonder if he miraculously makes a deep run.

He’s a textbook narcissist. 41-39 in conference with one of the biggest NIL budgets in the country. His woe is me campaign is disgraceful. If he didn’t want to get fired then maybe he should’ve put in a little effort.

Yup. Woodson in his mind, despite having arguably the top NIL budget thinks he’s actually done a good job…and that’s pretty scary.

As someone mentioned yesterday, while the last 4 years was a failed experiment, Woodson is still a Hoosier at heart.  Some of you were fortunate to watch him play too.  It simply didn’t work out with him as a coach and he was clearly his own worst enemy.  In the end, he just simply wasn’t good enough in a high-stakes, results based business.  
 

The videos posted yesterday for the seniors show how much some of the kids care about him.  Most of them developed great bonds with him.  While this chapter is coming to a close, it’s awesome to get a tourney birth and a coaching search at the same time (basically college bball fan heaven).  Most of us will be cheering for this squad.  We thank Coach for the last four years. And we are all looking to the next chapter.   
 

I’m still holding out hope for Stevens. In the meantime, it’s fun to support this squad.  There is talent here. Never know what can happen with matchups.  I’m not holding my breath, but just never know.

Just hire Will Wade before NC State does so we aren’t doing this again 4-5 years from now. If not it’s going to be Brownell or McCollum which is par for the course.

Brad Brownell come on down!

As mentioned before…Beard is a legit candidate unless you want Brownell. Wade is probably going to Texas. Don’t count out a high major candidate nobody has talked about

All the recent game announcers' sappy homages to him, like he's some sort of historic college BB figure saying goodbye after long successful career, only feed his delusions of grandeur.

If it’s between those 2, it will probably be Brownell
