Fire Coach Woodson Thread

I mean, sure! Not that they are convincing given the downside, but the collective reasons are:

• We just went through this three years ago. We cannot attract coaches and talent if we bail every year we see adversity.
• It would be arguably more expensive to dump him than keep him for one more year.
• Our highest level donors have strongly asserted that they want him back.
• He's two for two in tourney appearances, and this season isn't finished so it's remotely possible he could be three for three.
• All three of his teams have improved over the course of the season.
• He's made adjustments during each season.
• His best recruiting has been very late in each cycle.
• If a crap coach like Archie got four years, a more successful program legend should get at least that long.

Don't blow back at me -- the trend and what we've seen this year is no bueno, but you asked for the justification and there it is.

 

Realistically speaking, I think the 3rd one (“highest level donors”)-is the one that matters. This is as much about power as it is about basketball.

We are going to be terrible next year with him coming back. No new recruits coming and going yo have to rely on portal.

Yeah but we can't fire him cause no recruits will want to come here. Oh wait that is already the case.

How does the head coach not know if Trey or AL are going to go through senior day festivities? It's in 2 days! I'm done, logging out for a while. Too much energy going nowhere

Where was this said about him not knowing about Trey or AL?

Raisin and arsenic.  But I don't like raisins, so I can't join.

So is the plan next year to grab all Indiana State players from the portal when Schertz leaves for bigger payday?  All 5 starters can hit 3’s

That’s not how basketball is played. Inside out and the out is for giving the ball to the inside. What are you thinking

We couldn’t get players like Chris Ledlum last year. It’s going to be bad. And while I think there will still be a lot in the portal, the overall pool should be lower with the Covid year gone.

The even sadder part was didn't we play UNC that season and he still didn't know his name

Mike Woodson is too bleeping lazy to do the job.  He isn't even doing the minimum requirements.  You could almost live with a down year if you had any semblance of possible positive change on the horizon.  We have nothing.  We have a lazy a$$ mailing it in and an administration that believes that is worth another try at $4 million a year.  We're a joke.

We need to step it up fellas. Trilly’s IU discord has been going crazy for a few hours now, making us look apathetic and Mike Woodson-ish. More posts! More speculation! More anger! @Scotty R send more emails to Dolson

Who's being stubborn. He already has the money.

It's a **** show to say the least. Keeping Woodson seems like a massive mistake especially in a coaching carousel that could have big names like Josh Schertz and Dusty May available. Now even if you keep Woodson and sold yourself on the fact he could save a season next year with his recruits like McNeeley is out the window. McNeeley's gone and it's bye bye season in

Maybe we can get the fans in attendance to chant “1 more year” for AL and TG. And chant “retire!” Or “no more years” to MW

[Artie86 1,772]

Let's face it, this utter fire storm would have been briefly avoided if the press release would have been held off until seasons end. I would have felt better if it said,....."At this time, Coach Mike Woodson will be returning next year."

Oh my God!  Part of the coaching job is constructing a team for next year.  You only had 1 recruit signed (which you lost) and you had possibly 5 scholarships to fill, and you haven't talked with Galloway or Leal about whether they were using their covid years?  That is so inept.  Woodson must go.  Every time Woodson opens his mouth he embarrasses IU and himself.
