I would rather have a stupid dart and aim it at a list of other candidates......  I think this gives us better odds than this garbage.

I’m not watching. I’ll look at the box score, but that’s pretty much it. Going to watch IU basketball used to be fun, but all of you feel it. There’s just something wrong with the program.  Yeah he might succeed but why are we always settling  and get gaming chances ?

I was wrong here. I did watch.

Not sure if it's an omen or not, but my phone literally died right after the Woodson news broke...

Omen it was...

Are we even trying. Does this count as trying?

The answer was no for what it is worth

This thread and it’s responses are lowkey cracking me up.

We get it you don’t like the hire.  Just don’t come back when he starts winning.  Everyone deserves a chance to do the job they were hired for.

At least 4 years from now we can tell all the alumni who want a former player to shove it.

Lol.  Nailed it.

My opinion doesn’t matter, and you all know it already. I’m happy for those that are happy. I’m a fair weather fan for the first time in my adult life going forward. We will see how this works out.

Maybe a bit harsh.  I’m still a diehard.  And Woody had my attention at times during the first 2 years where there was a glimmer of hope.  I’ve always wanted to see a star studded roster.  We tried that this season by picking a lot of wrong guys again.  Woody is so cooked.  The Matta/Yasir(recruiter), Fife additions helped to make me a little happier throughout the process

4 thoughts:

1. The hire an IU guy crowd gets their wish. They will be right or we can stop this rhetoric finally. Granted it’ll cost me 4-6 years of my life.

2. Thad Matta angle is certainly interesting. Seems like a positive no matter how it goes. It’s odd for Matta to agree to. Therefore, Probably getting overpaid. Can he provide ROI? Let’s see.

3. IU isn’t a blue blood anymore. It’s been up for debate for a while. This question is answered.

4. Probably a 6-8 year hire at best. Another chance at a premier coach at that time. Or more likely it’ll be the same old, same old. Maybe a coach in waiting situation if this group can be successful. Geez.

Almost nailed it?

I’m concerned about this.  Low energy personality.  Maybe recruits and families will like that?  Maybe younger assistants can do a lot of the legwork.  

NAILED IT!

Huge risk by Dolson. If this hire fails then it could be REALLY ugly four years from now. Imagine an IU guy getting booed in AH. But if it succeeds, then Dolson will be looked back on as a genius

Wow, nice job Nostradamus!

[Hornsby]

Wow. I am pretty disappointed right now. Hope it works out for Dolson’s sake.

Sure didn't. What a fiasco.

Seriously though, reading this thread again was sad. A little bit of shock, some disappointment, and then some reluctant optimism. Four years later…and here we are

[JSHoosier]

4 years later the fire thread is nearing 2000 pages. The best thing about the hire lasted 1 year.
