Screw "mak[ing] it sound like not a firing". I  know that Scott Dolson would never do it, but Woodson deserves a full scorched earth dismissal for his hubris, his record and what he's done to Indiana University, the school that he supposedly loves.

Big picture I’d bet anything he will be gone after this season.

That should make us happy but there will be some outrage on this board as the dismissal/retirement, however it is labeled, will be as gracious as possible including a huge bag, containing millions of dollars, to reward him for his “service”…LOL

Yeah I’m honestly really hoping he doesn’t get the kind “retirement” angle to his departure. His behavior during his tenure has been anything but graceful, so I’m not looking to see him get a “retirement” cop out. He’ll already be getting a multi-million dollar gift in the way of his buyout.

And there you go....prime example of a guy hiding behind a message board persona, yet wanting to insult someone by saying something he probably (hopefully) would never say to the person face to face.

Guess mods have decided that in this thread, anything goes. Even though the forum guidelines clearly state otherwise.

No way Woodson goes quietly after missing the tourney two years in a row. He will want another year to get us in the tourney so he can say he did our job. His ego is so massive he needs to be able to say I brought IU back.

Pretty sure that's how it went down with Davis. We were in a late-season death spiral, on the verge of missing the tournament for a third straight year (unfathomable at the time, but hardly surprising present day). After the announcement, we rattled off 5 straight wins and actually had a decent finish. 

Unfathomable at the time is correct. Davis' last year we were a 6th seed in the tournament that was ousted in the 2nd round. If Woodson accomplished that, he would think he's top coach in the BIG.

With that said, this is different. Woodson has Buckner backing him which means it's not going to be a foregone conclusion that he is terminated at year's end....it's going to take major cojones from someone if a push for a change is made.

Is our current roster even half as talented as the one he went 3-4 with?

Yup... I am not 100% convinced it's a foregone conclusion Woody is done after this year.

Hope like hell... everything indicates it should be... but sometimes @#!$ that just doesn't make a lick of sense still happens...

I think Buckner's term will be up. If so he shouldn't be an issue.

I just seen the latest B10 power rankings posted by USA Today and we are down to #14.  Way to do your job MW, you might win COY at this pace!

FIRE MIKE WOODSON!!!

I could be wrong but From what I read, it’s not up until June, unless IU waits to fire MW after that, it still could be an issue.

[Home Jersey 7,580]

I am an Indiana fan above all else, but I do enjoy watching college basketball. 

IU is nowhere near the top 25 and probably not even a top 50 team to watch.

Seriously, no exaggeration. I know others feel the same. It's mind blowing how bad ...he... is.

I unfortunately feel the same way. If he manages to get this team in the tourney I will actually be pretty surprised if we let him go. If he misses the tourney with this roster, I would assume it’s a foregone conclusion he gets fired. Wish I had more hope lol

This is scary but true!  His massive ego will get in the way, he won’t go quietly into the night

Well crap, Woodson could end up with a lifetime extension and gargantuan buyout.

Honestly, part of me thinks if he misses this year, he could still have enough pull to get everyone to double down on one more go. If that happens, you can find me at my local mental institution

IU gave him a million dollar raise after winning one tournament game in two years. We really have no reason to believe he’s gone absent missing the tournament again. The expectations are so in the gutter for iubb that “you can’t fire the guy who took you to three tournaments in four years” will be the talking point.

If we waited until after the BOT term ends to fire him it will be confirmed IU basketball is an unserious program.
