This is nuts.  Seriously.  Maybe Liam got news woody is being fired or something that we don't know.

kids talk. my guess is he got wind of some, or most, of our current player's intentions....but that's a complete guess

I have to feel IU is now the only power 5 without a commit in the next two years

How many recruits do we have and have many players do we have to grab in the portal?

0 and all of them 

[Hoosier1984 1,548]

Never a good look when the coach gets a vote of confidence for another year and the only commit decommits a day later.

Something feels off, but I’m used to this at this point

Maybe this will be enough to push Woody to retire. Please Lord make it happen.

Not a chance. With the big donors on his side he might be here till he’s 80. Plus with that ego.

I did. Just because you have billions doesn't mean you know sports. JMO though from my own experiences around them. 

The Pacers has been a very good organization since the Simons bought the team. They don't run the every day basketball but they have done a good job of hiring the right people to do those jobs.

All the more reason every P6 school will have one in next 2/3 years or less. GM is needed by all. Football even more so. 

some can’t remove their displeasure for all things Woody and see anything else. 

You realize we can flip this on its head and say the same thing about you, right? This is another case of the administration trying to reinvent the wheel, or be the “smartest people in the room”, when the answer has ALWAYS been to just hire a dude and gtfo of his way. 

There’s a reason this program can’t figure out how to become nationally relevant, for over 20 years. It’s not because the fanbase and its lack of support for the coach. The university has ridden the coattails of an undeservedly supportive fanbase. One that continually fills assembly hall, takes over neutral site venues. 

Just seen McNeeley news.. let me guess…the fans?

With Liam gone, if we have 2 starters transfer there will be a ton of pressure to reverse course and make a change.  I thought it odd timing to announce he was staying when they did. Glad to know Liam’s plans now vs in a few weeks.

FIRE WOODSON!

[Brass Cannon 24,177]

lol this program is freaking joke. Good thing we locked up a coach with 0 players and no hope for next year.  

[OKHOOSIER 1,951]

Are we allowed to go back to being negative or naw? What an absolute joke of a program. Where is my dude NGW at who went around HAHA responding to every post about the portal plan being a guaranteed fail? 

[94Bulldog 584]

Lmao!!!!   This administration and coach deserves all they get!!!  What a freaking dumpster fire!!!

Can we get this man another raise and extension please! Good lord! 

[hper50 1,186]

What’d the admins think was gonna happen? Nicely done

[reconmkd 4,317]

WTH is going on? First the odd announcement that Woody is back, now Liam, what is getting ready to happen, bad things always come in threes!

He probably knows that Mgbako and Reneau are coming back. Just a guess.

I actually would think it means just the opposite -- he knows they're NOT coming back. 

Despite all the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth -- plenty from me -- if we have Bako, Reneau, Cubs and McNeeley on the roster next season, that's a pretty good starting point. There wouldn't be much reason for McNeeley to bail. If those guys are gone, we could be looking at a 12- or 10-win season.

Think of this as a positive.  We miss the tournament next season he's gone guaranteed.   The last thing anyone wants is another opening weekend blowout and then a year 5.  Always better to get the bandage off as quickly as possible.
