What are your credentials that deem it's a good hire? See how silly that is? Was Woodson at the top of your list 2 weeks ago? Top 5? I didn't think so.

What choice do we have but to "give it a shot" Woodson is the new coach, end of story. I can't filibuster it or launch a coup against the athletic dept. So we'll all find out together. I don't apologize for assessing the move and finding it terrible. Not agreeing with the hire isn't some kind of betrayal anymore than you liking it makes you a lapdog sychophant. We all have opinions. I've explained my justification in a handful over other posts, no need to repeat them here.

I understand not wanting to hear criticism and putting the best spin on it. I got aggravated with the anti-Archie drumbeat even though I wanted him gone too. So I'll shut up soon enough and see what happens. However pretending Woodson is a great hire isn't fooling anyone. IU settled for a second, maybe third rate option. No idea if that is because the top choices declined, Dolson quailed, donor pressure, who knows? Most are saying "it could be worse" or "this might work if...." and that is telling. IU didn't hire the best guy for the job. I hope he succeeds, but have very low expectation he will. I care more about IU basketball than any other sport and I'm tired of being disappointed and having little reason to be optimistic.

"Mike Woodson, Head Coach Indiana University" Sigh.

I'm just tired of reading negativity. My credentials? I'm a high school special ed teacher and assistant boys basketball coach. Been an IU fan for most of my 38 years. Unless anybody has ESP, there's no telling whether it will be a good or bad hire. We have no data. At least give it a chance. 

There's a guy in charge of all this that makes a lot more money than I ever will. I hope you're watching the presser like I am.

Love that Dolson consulted with the team about what kind of coach they would want to play for
