Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[Home Jersey 7,347]

He looks like he's a hostage being forced to read a message when he looks at the sheet and reluctantly utters: 

"as the coach, I gotta get this team...... more ready to go."

[monskisprodigy 1,876]

The argument that I see the loyal Woody defenders making is, "its just one game early in the season"....but it isn't just one game. This is a pattern, year in year out. We are in year 4, this shouldn't still be happening to the degree that it is.

Woodson should’ve never been hired in the first place.

Dolson needs to get Woodson "ready to go"... as in "Hey, Mike, go clean out your office".

Meanwhile, relevant programs Kansas and Duke play an absolute stunner of a game in Vegas. We are so far from that right now it’s hard to quantify. I don’t like being validated in this way, it’s embarrassing and it’s sad. Most of my life IU has been mediocre or bad. It’s just depressing at this point…

 

I think Indiana fans need to accept that Indiana is no longer a blue blood. It’s not really a basketball program let alone a basketball school.

Can't say this enough or "like" it enough. Buckner is an idiot for suggesting/insisting/defending that.

Bubble team type projections with a new coach, mediocre talent, and not a single returning player.

We should be embarrassing them.

Naw, Woodson has a thousand excuses and reasons why... but the only one that matters: Mediocre Mike Woodson.

It was probably written for him, otherwise he'd have to decide between blaming the hump or saying he did his job because they lost by 28 instead of 38.

It’s hard to even get mad anymore. Woodson was a joke of a hire, and keeping him for a fourth season prolonged the joke. Scott Dolson has to know Woodson isn’t the answer. It’s just a matter of whether Scott will do the right thing and fire him. He didn’t last offseason. Maybe this offseason will be different. If it’s not? Then no reason for us to care more than Scott/Woodson do. 

I don't think much of this is on Dolson... from what I recall, he tried... but Uncle Quinn was calling the shots to keep his buddy employed...

Do it now Scott. Next timeout.  Not sure which assistant to have take over for the balance of the year but it won’t matter. 

I'd even be ok with Armond Hill... of course he'd sleep through the majority of the game, but he couldn't be worse than Mediocre Mike.

And yet we have unranked WV taking #3 Gonzaga to the wire.

So many amazing college basketball games this feast week. 

Indiana vs. Louisville was possibly the worst of them all (so far). 

Mike Woodson teams always prove they can outdo themselves in that regard.

This. Everything is there. Enthusiasm. Support. Facilities-ish. Fanbase. But it’s been far too long. Really hate the Nebraska football comparison but it’s the best I’ve seen. 
 

Doesn’t mean IU is eternally doomed. But when there’s uproar about not being included in big name events…

Wouldn’t be surprised upset by a Christmas break change if we drop a couple more 

Fixed that... I would love a Christmas break change, but would be incredibly surprised if it actually happened.

This is the second half effort of a roster filled with players who prioritized getting paid and a HC who is semi-retired. 

This season of Indiana men’s basketball is a grift.

Coming from Jersey with a Tony Soprano profile picture I’m gonna assume you know what you’re talking about.

Fire him. There I said it. I’ve had my complaints about this team but I’ve not really contributed here in this thread. This is one heck of an @$$ whooping. I’m done with Woodson. I don’t care.

Welcome to the party... see @IUFAN1976 ... he'll issue you a pitchfork and a torch.

We need a fing coach! We have the enthusiasm and seemingly money to buy players. We have a brand of atleast former great success! WHT is purdue miles ahead of us? They have none of those things. We are doomed by **** coaching hires! Non of them have been good or even decent since being fired except 1. He was also coincidentally the best we have had and wasn't fired for performance! This isn't complicated!

Stevie Wonder could've seen it was a bad investment in the first place.

Ray Charles concurs. And so does Helen Keller
