Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[Trish 11,417]

Malik was garbage down the stretch. He doesn’t move the needle enough. I’m glad he got a raise but Woodson isn’t doing anything with this team if he’s the #1 option.

Looks like Woodson is spending all of his NIL money trying to retain as much of this year's train wreck as possible.

In that interview he said it was unfinished business and NIL that were the deciding factors in his return. Thinks they will bring in the pieces needed to get a Big Ten championship and go on to make a big run in NCAA tournament.

I never thought he was leaving unless he really wanted to be on a good team. There isn’t an offense in the country where he’d get more touches or a bigger green light than IU. I actually think him staying makes Woodys portal needs more difficult. His defense, foul problems, and rebounding are such a net negative Woody has to find pieces to make up for them. The offense is good, but he’s also a ball stopper. How many times did he try to split double teams instead of finding an open shooter. Malik back basically guarantees the offense is going to be more of the same. He is a catch-22 as a player for us. Woody needs an NBA caliber forward/center to play along side him. Not an impossible find, but also not likely. I don’t trust Woody to try and go smaller for a large part of the season. Which would require a starter level 3. The roster is a mess.

Hey everyone it's sunshine and roses we return Reneau. We can't be stopped.

I can't believe those other teams are wasting their time in the NCAA tourney while were out there getting our own players in the Portal

There is no planet on earth where Woody gets us to the tournament next year, let alone a S16 or E8, and IU "fires" him.

Barring something extraordinary happening, I think it's fairly certain whenever Woodson leaves, it will be him "retiring."

If the crux of your question is do we see him leaving after next year if we finish top 4-5 and finish in 2nd round? Who knows... I'd think so, because he could leave with his head held high (whether you agree with those standards/expectations is a different conversation)... not because he's being pushed out the door. But who knows... so much time until the end of next season. 

I agree...think Woody is gone barring a miracle year.

Cooking takes time. Chill and let Woodson cook.

We're supposed to just sit back and take it. Don't complain or you're not a true fan. 

True fan police are out in force these days.

I would lean towards whichever coaches team wins between Henryville and Silver Creek this season as opposed to the current IU coach.

Their current coach was a teammate of mine when I played for Henryville. We had a good team for 1A school.

It's interesting that the HH guys are still in good standing, especially after the way they eviscerated Woody on their year-end recap.

Listening now two things I took away from it was first when asked about why coming back one of the first things he said was NIL.

He also hinted that he knows the fans don't care for the coach, but he thanks them for sticking by the team. I can support that. 

I'm going to have an Malik Reneau burger tomorrow night at Big Woods

Was surprised he didn’t list that as his favorite place to eat.

no way woody doesn't get fired after next year if we don't make the tourney. 

question is: do we fire him if we finish in the top 4-5 in the B1G w/ another 2nd round loss? 

I still think he gets fired unless he either wins the B1G or makes it to the sweet 16 or elite 8 - neither of which is probably gonna happen.

Top 4-5 in Big Ten and 2nd round loss is probably borderline. I would guess he stays but that's a tough call. Agree that sweet 16 and competing for Big Ten he will be back, and 1st round blowout he will be fired.

shouldn’t the intent of receiving more nil money to be to go out and get better players instead of paying more to keep the guys who got drubbed by Nebraska three times

Seems like it'd be smart to try and keep what talent they did have so they only need 6-7 portal players instead of an entire roster.

SIAP - anyone see the Crean interview on 1070? 

Basically says the Indiana admin is much more toxic than the fans ever were. Granted this is a man that was fired by that admin but still interesting.

Woodson said we were the hottest team in the country. But too hot for the NIT I guess.
