Mike Woodson to be next IUBB coach. Thad Matta to be associate AD

[OKHOOSIER 1,969]

Text from a close friend and former OSU football player (think early 2000s):

"1. How did your AD weasel TM to agree to a non coaching role? 2. I guess you can stop b******* in our group chat about how youre a football school now. You have an NBA head coach and guy that won 70% of his  college games apparently just chillin in the locker room offices with his feet up spinning B1G ten title rings on his fingers."

Is there anyway we could get Belein as lead assistant  Head Coach?

Fixed it for you. Let Mike scratch his Head Coaching itch in the G-League or in Europe. Do. Not. Want.

I'm pretty sure you are the one that is confused.

I'll miss you sir. It's been a fun ride. Sad our program has fallen off a clip and we're hiring a guy who has no business being the head coach. 

All it takes is an IU degree! 

If you hate this program so much, and think it being mismanaged so badly........then why are you still here? Honest question. Is it just to get reactions from other posters? A place to vent?

[IUguy77 202]

Funny watching everyone talking themselves into this being a good hire. Happens every time IU hires a coach.

Is this Michigan Football experiment?

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,182]

I'll believe when it is official. I will also support him until he no longer deserves my support as I would any one they hire.
I wanted Stevens, Oats or the other homeruns mentioned. I knew BS was a fantasy. It looked like the others were happy where they were at.
After that, I really didn't care who they hired. Past results do not necessarily equal future results. I understand past results can be a pretty good predictor.
If the rumors are correct and Matta is on the staff also, I'm good.

We shall see

It's a message board. We're suppose to vent, share opinions, discuss, share. 

Never said I hated the program. I love the program, just not very excited for this questionable hire.

I want Nate Oats

I did as well but it is easy to believe he did not want us.

I mean he won a national championship so......

I’m not a Carmelo guy but like you said he won a college title. He was team USA leading scorer. Basically he succeeded with god coaching and was just a stats guy with not so good. 
 

He had his most team success with the Knicks under Woodson. 
 

Also the kids love Me7o.

LOL!

I've been watching Assembly Call i think? It sounds like they are talking themselves into this lol.

I'm going to talk myself into it. I did with Archie once i learned more about him. 

[maharkn 1,685]

I think Woodson will be a great, (and tough) coach for TJD. Who better to relate what todya's NBA is really like (other than his father, who's been out of the NBA for quite a while)

His dad should be able to inform TJD on what kind of coach he is

What other choice is there? I love the program and want to see it be a winner again. All there is to do now after expressing the initial disappointment is to get on board

Let me tell you something son...from an old fart that's older than Beilein, I'm still pretty damn sharp mentally. And along with age comes wisdom. Something you appear to be a little short on at this point in your life.

Woodson is our coach. Either get on the train, or get the hell out of the way. 

IU fans are not fair weather fans. We're always IU fans.

Absolutely love it!

I gave Archie a chance, I’ll give Woodson a chance

It'll be like when Akron hired Jim Tressel as an administrator and the football team went 1-11. It's the wrong position.

Probably the same guys that thought Archie was great, so I wouldn’t worry about what they say.

And byB1G contacts, he meant his frat bros as OSU

Hunter is in the mix and I’ve heard Cheaney could be in the mix. Also watch for Fife.

I’ll take those 3. Would love Cheaney.
