They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[WayneFleekHoosier 49,274]

It’s a bit messy at this point. Woody and his camp and his social media burners are just delusional. Hysterics today hinted at some racial stuff behind the scenes which I fully believe based on stuff I’ve seen from the burners. I hate the racial aspect, because I’m a merit based guy. Woody has failed in every metric. Then handled things horribly at senior night when HE put together the gosh awful season he did.

I wish he was gone now. Pick a responsible adult to lead these kids and let’s hope they can turn things around enough to sneak into the tournament still. Please…….

First, you guys are hilarious. Reading the pages I missed on a long travel day is great. 

I guess I missed the chance to drop the bomb that coaches were informed yesterday that Woody is being retired. Better to come from established sources so those on this board who question inside info so diligently wouldn’t have to post responses. Should be an announcement officially tomorrow. Told it was supposed to happen today, but Woody is being difficult about ending the season - and some of that has to do with getting the most out of his contract. This all follows several weeks of work by Dolson, and his witnessing a fight in the locker room that had to be broken up, with an assistant coach yelling at Woody “this is why they’re firing you!”

Want to watch the women’s game now, so will save some additional nuggets for later. But Dolson is retaining a search firm just to check the box, but we’re getting our guy. Numbers have been discussed. I’d expect that to be announced after the season right before the tourney starts. I’ll add more later. Sorry my travel didn’t spring this last night before it hit the media but had some family things going on. 

Things are about to turn around for IU and our fans in a big big way. Alright, go Lady Hoosiers!

So that means he won’t be coaching in the tourney……Tony Bennett….Stevens…..Donovan……

There’s no point in leaking this “contemplating retirement” story. If you don’t want to say you’re firing him, given that he’s a former IU player, I get that. But if that’s the case then come out and say “Mike Woodson is retiring at the end of the season. He will coach the remainder of the year.” Instead we have this cluster of a mess in typical IU fashion. 

IU will make an official announcement in the next 48 hours that “Mike Woodson is stepping down/retiring at the conclusion of the season”.

Pretty standard for these types of things.

[mbredenk101 597]

They’re forcing him to resign effective at the conclusion of the season. He’s not getting escorted out of the building in the middle of the year like so many thought would happen.

Hmmmmm....everywhere I have worked, if someone was forced to resign, they were being fired...regardless of how many more days they were on the payroll.

I’m not sure why you are surprised? IU has never fired a coach in the middle of the season nor will they ever, especially one of their own.

They retired Mike Davis in the middle of a season and fired Kelvin Sampson in the middle of one.  "Never"?  Psssh.

For how bad we’ve been the last 20 years we have the most fun coaching searches in all of sports lol. Hopefully Brad finally is coming home

You know, Donovan is probably more of a possibility than I would have thought of earlier.  I was very firm in Beard is far and away the best coach IU could get.   But Donovan will probably be truly available this year.  Have not heard his name from anyone I talk to, but it would not surprise me if he is on lists this year.

 

Edit:  Can’t wait to hear who Jerry has heard we are getting.

You’re missing one, but you got one of our top four there. There were a Few people who reached out to us expressing interest that is an exceptional back up plan if needed unexpectedly.

Resigning and Terminating (fired) from a contractual standpoint have vastly different meanings.

Maybe I’m in the minority but I think the “contemplating” stuff is perfect. He’s gone. So this makes it seem like it was his decision. I think we will get an official announcement tomorrow that he is retiring. Who cares what the messaging is today.

Whether he continues to coach is interesting. I don’t care as long as it isn’t affecting who we could get as a coach.

This is correct. Woodson wants to put his spin on it. He can contemplate anything he wants but he’s going to sign retirement papers soon or we’re going to buy him out. Pretty simple. His dream job is ending in failure, it’s going to take him a minute to get over it but he’s done and he knows it.

To suggest there is any racial angle here is completely laughable - entirely merit based like you said. 

It's actually offensive to the people working on serious causes for their communities, tbh. 

This is just the dying breath of Quinn's corruption IMO... I really wish that he doesn't finish the year. 

Let's hope this is Custer's Last Stand for Quinn and Mike... tomorrow we get a pleasant surprise... 

What a way to ruin your legacies.

Kelvin Sampson resigned in the middle of the season and had nothing to do with performance. Mike Davis wasn’t fired in the middle of the season.

Looks like a very unproductive day tomorrow.
