Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[Golfman25 5,753]

Props to mediocre Mike for doing something few teams have done — getting 2-3 of the top 25 players in the portal. But he still has a long way to go. 

[AZ Hoosier 7,677]

Ummmmm…. Which coach are they willing to do that for? Most P5 teams have zillionaire donors. That budget still needs to attract talent.

Ballo apparently gave IU a discount over other programs so that he could play for Mike Woodson.

If I was a 7 foot center with NBA aspirations, I would, too. Why would I not want to play for a coach whose entire philosophy and game plan is to feed me in the post? There’s none of that pesky guard play - the guards’ job is to feed the post and let me shine.

 

FIRE MEDIOCRE MIKE.

Imo both of you are correct. I will argue though indiana basketball in a desperate situation would probably get cash from donors no matter who coach is. I hope they aren't giving millions because they believe in mike. I bet it's because they want iu to win and are embarrassed. This paying players is new to everyone but ad far as major basketball programs go iu is in as bad of shape as any so it makes sense to swing for the fences

Woodson still has to coach this team (and there are still 3 open scholarships). So far, Woodson has not impressed me with his "work" this off-season - I'd expect the same results from 90% of the regulars on BTB with $6M to spend.

We get chastised for posting reality on the pro-Woodson threads... now we got the sunshine pumpers trying to pump in the Fire Woodson thread. 

FIRE MEDIOCRE MIKE WOODSON TODAY.

The mob posts BS. They claimed the whole roster would transfer out. Didn’t happen. They claimed nobody wants to come here to play in the system. Obviously not true. Now they move the goalposts to it’s just the money. These guys can all get money elsewhere. Zero credibility.

I’ve seen you tube videos that say Mike Woodson is making magic and Mike Woodson is reloading. IMO Mike Woodson isn’t doing crap. The billionaire donors are making the magic and reloading for Mike Woodson. I don’t believe he could even field a competitive team without them. 

He’s reloading his squirt gun. One tournament win in three years. Most ‘stars’ on his roster than anyone else in the conference last year and he goes 18-13 and misses the tournament. But win three straight offseason banners and folks will crown you king.

Ok Mr. Credibility, put your line in the sand.  Mike Woodson is an awesome coach who is landing awesome players.  What can us non-true fans expect as a baseline performance point next season?

Why are you quoting me for this response? Not sure what this drivel has to do with what I posted about Woodson winning the off-season with money from a couple of billionaires' wallets...

Let's wait until the actual season starts and see what Mediocre Mike is able to conjure up. We won last off-season and it got us all the way to what, 18-13? Second verse, same as the first.

Holy crap.

Did Brad Stevens really say “We’d like to get over that hump.”

That’s pretty funny.

Was exactly my thought. The bridge is being built but it still can’t get us over the damn hump!

Major college sports in major conferences is strictly a business transaction.  I suppose it’s like going to the bank for a business transaction.

I suppose it is exciting and demonstrates coaching expertise for some…..along with university, community, civics, and fans involvement and support.

How much work did Woodson actually do. Who negotiated the million dollar salary with ballo? I am guessing not Woodson. I just want to know if all the sunshine pumpers will admit with this roster he needs to make the Sweet sixeteen? My guess is they will still consider Woodson successful if he goes 21-13. Sent from my SM-A146U using Tapatalk

Didn't quite see a denial in there. Rooting for the Celtics this postseason.

Agree 100%. I doubt Woodson did much more than dangle a Cook or Simons check in front of the kids. He hasn’t shown me much of anything in 3-plus years. Why expect more at this point?

FIRE MEDIOCRE MIKE.

I imagine check was set up as direct deposit.

No need to be pedantic.

Can’t hide behind wait til next year when you have the fans, history and now NIL behind this program. The biggest benefit will be to us and these 10 year Crean like rebuilds that won’t sell. This will be Woody’s year 3 with NIL and his last to prove his coaching chops. Either win bigger than he has shown to be able to do or next person up. I will be patiently waiting.

Totally agree. If he wins then 99% of the fans will be off his back. 
 

NIL support at least shows me that whenever IU makes a change due to retirement or firing, the program will be able to land players.

With all due respect to the dudes who gutted that first year out, Crean started with less than nothing.  
 

With the portal haul, Woodson needs to win the Big Ten and elite 8, minimum.  

Crean didn't have a cool 6 million to spend.  I think Crean would be pretty good in the NIL era.

I think so. Woodson having to build a team pre nil like crean did I mean wow that would have been ugly.
