Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[Kentuckysucks 2,206]

It's all about who you can get.  I've never been high on Alford either but I can certainly see a scenario where he's the best we can get next year.  I really think it's going to get that bad.

That is completely delusional.  Someone who has done that probably isn't interested in the IU job.  Who would even fit that description?  Pearl and ?????  Would Painter?     

I think that is why they made those standards because they knew Dolson wouldn't be able to get anyone like that after the tournament and portal started

I think we are a mess now.... LOL

I mean yes we are I mean even worse. Like needing to fill 10 or 11 roster spots.

If Jerry Yeagley's post is correct, it sounds like the BoT is "only interested in a homerun hire" (and that may be a super long shot), so it would seem dreaming or speculating about coaches who don't meet that may not be worthwhile. 

I'm not knocking anyone's ideas, I like hearing other perspectives and thinking outside the box. Just saying, it would seem only "homerun hires" would fit he bill.

All of a sudden they want a home run hire? They didn't seem very interested in home run hire when they handed Woodson the job. Basically they just want to make it incredibly hard to get rid of Woodson imo. These people are a complete joke.

Some day the rest of you will connect the dots and finally understand why the past 24 have been such a sh!t show.  Hint: it really isn't stupidity.

As a person who was in high school 20 years ago, I don’t think he would’ve been some special recruiter. My classmates and teammates hadn’t watched him play.

He would’ve made our parents happy, I guess.

He knew a lot of high school and AAU coaches in the state.  He would have done well recruiting Indiana.

I know they don't really want the program to be good or they never would have hired Woodson. But they can stop the home run hire talk nonsense.

The way it was explained to me is a proven Power 5 head coach. Someone who has won and won at a high level for a long time. 

That's just an excuse by the decision makers to keep Woodson.  They know that unicorn doesn't exist.  

(Never mind. Chris already made this comment.)

I would remove Tony Bennett and Bruce Pearl from the list for next year. Probably even Scott Drew just because it sounds like Louisville made him a generous offer and he said no if Dusty gets the job.

No way IU goes after Will Wade even though everything he did is legal now. 

Just not sure what are choices are. 

Why remove Pearl for next year? There are rumors our people chatted with his people this year.

This is true. I don’t detest it much, I just wish we were good at it.  

Should have been doing it sooner I guess.Hell, everyone else was and left us in the dust.We respected the NCAA and thought they were an honest institution while all along they were money grubbing toothless whores who refused to punish their cash cows.

What is the overall feeling on why several do not want Alford.  What has he done or not done to make him not desirable?  Serious question since we have been horrible the past several years with other coaches.  

For starters, In 8 years at Iowa, Alford finished higher than 4th in the B10 once and made the NCAA 3 times, winning one NCAA tourney game.

Alford makes McCaffrey look like Knight.

For me, there are several things. First was the Pierre Pierce thing. Still can't believe that, and he only apologized to get the UCLA job.

He was pretty good at Manchester College, and good enough at SW Missouri State to get the Iowa gig. But his record since then has been a series of ups and downs.

He does recruit better than Woodson, but so do you and I.

The Pierre Pierce piece is the thing for me if you take out that piece or had it not happened I would say yes to him but that piece irks me.

100% they would probably like to keep Woodson as long as they can.

All we need is a young man and a ball.  They grow on trees.

Also it cracks me up when he says we need more talent, but then begs the current players to stay. Never says we have talent but I haven't put them in a position to succeed 

So who's he "begged to stay" exactly? What players told you that? Your gaslighting actually cracks me up.

Paying Leal $300K is pretty much begging.

I think he means we offered them far more money than any other school would have.

I keep thinking about IU telling the NIT that we wouldn't be interested in an invite.  This is really concerning to me.  I heard Calipari on the radio today. He was asked about if the players were playing for their NIL.  He gave an answer, which could be coach speak, about his team enjoys playing with one another and they want to keep the season going as long as possible.  Evidently, that wasn't the case with IU's players or the coaching staff.  Under Knight, our goals were to win a Big Ten Title, and if invited win an NCAA title or NIT title.  Under Woodson and Dolson, our program is such a mess that we wanted the season to end.  The program is being mismanaged.

The program has been mismanaged for around 25 years.
