Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[Banksyrules 4,628]

I’m honestly pondering hiring a pyrotechnic expert to create a sign that says “change your offense”  near assembly so that Woodson wakes up.  Then if it’s ignored hire a pilot to write out “Fire Mike Woodson” in the sky.

when your coaching style is coaching the best available talent with no clear cut system to recruit to.  

Woodson said when hire his recruiting plans were exactly that ... recruit the best talent available, no matter what the position, even if it meant he was recruiting over someone. That is why he is in the roster predicament he is working with. He doesn't have a plan to build a roster with purpose, only recruit the best and tell them "he can" get them to the next level. Then Mike Woodson says with his coaching expertise he can win Big Ten and NCAA Championships.  LOL

Don’t we have a joke thread that your post should have went in?

He hasn't recruited since he's been here... so I don't see an issue... but just fire him and be done with it.

Mike Woodson doesn't need plans. Plans are for people who aren't working hard. Mike Woodson is doing his job. Working harder is the only plan needed.

And in case anyone else was holding on to the farce that our NIL was special compared to other huge programs, Kansas offered AJ Storr 750K. Which he turned down because he wants 1mm. Storr and his handlers being idiots aside, I say that because it proves we are swimming in a pool where proven high major dudes can get huge money from the bluest of the blue bloods. And AJ Storr is just an example who I don’t think is even worth 750k much less a million. 
 

Without a solid plan to change the offense and/or a new basketball coach, money is not going to buy the team our administration seems to think it will when the root of the problem is the coaching staff and their schemes. This will be overpaid mercenaries seeking money Kansas won’t even offer— we can hope Indiana ties helps, though I doubt it does to the extent many believe.  
 

Relieve Mike Woodson of his coaching duties.

I keep seeing people on Twitter talking about "Let Woody cook!"

What's he cooking? More beat downs from Nebraska and Penn State?

Woodson as a top 5 spender needs to hone in and be focused and get the guys that will make us a winner.  No reason he shouldn’t make a big enough splash to get us in the preseason top 25. Top 5-10 spender,  no reason not to build at least a top 25 team. Don’t fill just to fill. Fill with a purpose and build a monster.  

He had an ultra experience ultra talented roster in 22-23 in:

1st yrJHS

5th yr XJ

5th yr Kopp

6th yr Race

4th yr TJD

with first 3 off the bench

Reneau

Galloway

Bates

and finished a distant 2nd/3rd in the Big Ten and got shellacked in the round of 32. There are all kinds of reasons he will not build a top 25 team

Well I mostly agree, but XJ was hurt 2/3s of the year and Gallo started like 25 games.

It’s crazy to me, that 300- 500k got you the best of the best before NIL. 100-150k got you top talent.  Everything has quadrupled.

This is the NBA arrogance.  They assume since the NBA is better, then the NBA coaches are better.  The skillset for college basketball coaching is different and straight from the NBA guys often don't get it.

You don’t have to convince me.  I’m right there, but theoretically as a top5-10 spender we should have a roster that invokes some fear and at least gets respected.

Because every big program has extremely rich people willing to light their money on fire.  When people were saying "everyone has money", they meant it.

We are also totally dumbing down what it means to get "elite" talent out of the portal.  If you were told in early March that Woodson was going to use that money to pull Perkins from Iowa and the dude from Drexel and that was better than recruiting, people would wonder if you were crazy.

There are some decent players who we have been mentioned with but nothing about anyone we have heard of so far, in combination with what we have coming back, should lead anyone to believe that we are suddenly going to go into overdrive.  Again, we do this stuff every spring, summer, and early fall and then the product on the court is just mediocre.  I expect nothing different this upcoming year.  (But, but Woody is going after guards now...phbbt...OK, whatever.)

I love this post and exactly what I was thinking myself. Woodson probably thought as long as he had money to throw and bigger name guys that he’d be able to get whoever he wants and it’s just not the case. Players don’t want to experience what we’ve seen the last 3 years and obviously Woodson doesn’t think that matters. Gonna end up overpaying people just field a roster. The longer it goes on, the more we’re gonna have to overpay for lower skilled players. Unfortunately I don’t think we’re at a point where if the portal ends up being a strikeout (based off we should be able to get a good haul) that they’ll get rid of him. He’ll get his 4th year regardless and then he and Quinn will ride off together. 

i guess I don’t fully doubt that there could still be some things in the works where we end up adding a couple high quality guys, but it’s probably gonna be a matter of we are begging and overpaying to get them here. Woodson thought he was gonna have it made with this NBA free agency style of doing things.

Supply and demand. More teams have entered the market to pay players. Just shows how the top teams pre NOL were easily beating everyone else.

There are people on Twitter who think Woodson is the greatest thing since sliced bread. If you dare question their narrative the name calling starts. It's really something.
