Heck of a way to run a program. Please keep quiet former players we will fire him we just wait to wait for one more disaster of a season. Sounds like the mafia keep quiet or else.

It reminds me of that dude who went viral for begging people to leave Brittney Spears alone.

A fan can dream.

I agree. I just don't see it.

Might be my imagination, but I've noticed an uptick in pro-Woodson talk from new accounts on some iu sites I frequent. 

I do think the athletic department is going all out on positive PR for Woodson.

Interesting and if so, I cannot fault Dolson for doing what he can to buy some time (assuming another buyout would be problematic).  It may be hard to keep fans at Assembly Hall from turning on him if we finish really poorly this year though.  When fans start to boo at home games ADs tend to react ahead of schedule.

Might be my imagination too, but I'm pretty sure the same thing happened the year Crean was fired. All kinds of sentimental word salads about how he brought us back from the depths, bad look to fire him a year after winning the Big Ten, etc.

They can blow all the warm air up our skirts that they want, it doesn't change the fact that Woodson is in over his head and the natives are restless... No matter how much time Dolson and the university is able to buy, it won't change the fact that by the time they decide to do something, the basketball program will be that much farther down the rabbit hole.

Crean did that in like 2015 when he supposedly had the Alabama job lined up. Not sure if anyone remembers those bizarre interviews he did.

When he was fired, he said his biggest regret was not hiring a PR firm to temper the expectations for 2014. If that’s your strategy then you’re not a good fit at Indiana.

And yet here we are and the athletic department/is running that spin today.

Our athletic department may be running positive PR for our current head coach?

Oh, the horror!

PR and positive spin is one thing, but to lean on Doyle et al to not write what they perceive to be true is much different

One win at home and we are headed to the final four it seems. Yep the pro Woodson talk is amazing today. The assembly call guys sounded like we just won a national title last night.  Once we beat penn state will the contract extension talk start up?

Now you know how it feels when, after a close road loss, people think IU should go to the MAC.

I still think Woodson is a shitty coach. Go win at Ohio state and purdue and maybe we might be onto something.

I remember hearing Bob Kravitz right before crean was fired screaming you cannot fire him he just won a big ten title last year
He is safe no way they fire him.

Well, he did do that last year.  I am not sure he is the guy to get us over the hump and certainly have doubts but he seems far from a terrible coach.

And like last year, winning at Ohio State is not exactly the standard of excellence.

And after winning at both places, it didn't change anyone's mind on how they viewed him as a coach. 

[8bucks 7,552]

This is a really good analysis of some changes we have made on defense. I say it is really good because I have often said we help too much on D so if this agrees with me it must be good. Shows Woody and staff may not be as completely stubborn as we often assume.

I would consider a good coach somebody who can get us to at last the sweet sixeteen. Even crean did that any many thought he stunk.
