Fire Coach Woodson Thread

In my humble opinion, you are dead wrong here.

Woodson got a fourth year because Archie got four years. Buckner made that abundantly clear. The moneybags bankrolling the NIL was simply to prop Woodson up and make him fail-proof. But Woodson cannot get out of his own way.

Buckner et al know exactly what they are doing — shaking down the university.

And I, for one, didn't buy into the hype of this season. The talent is one thing, but to paraphrase RMK about Dale Brown... when I see who's sitting on the bench doing the coaching, I have no doubt how it would turn out... this season has turned out to be the crap fest many here thought it would be... ZERO quality wins... 

Woodson is NOT the King of Indiana... he's the King of the Cupcakes.

Can we trade him out for Dale Brown?  I might be willing to do that

Pretty sure we have already missed the tourney barring a miraculous recovery 

Yeah, you are talking finishing around 11-7 in the BIG (12-8) to have a chance IMO.  That would put them at like 21-10 and you would think a few decent wins.  Anything less than that and they are going to be facing a real uphill battle.

I forgot about that.  Not everyone qualifies for the Big Ten Tournament.  I suppose Woodson will consider squeaking into the BTT as him "doing his job".

Let's not forget there has already been fighting among players and coaches in the huddle. I believe when the season really starts and things get hard this house of cards will fall apart. I will be more shocked if Woodson finishes the season. It may be medical or some other reason besides firing but I doubt he makes it imo. This will get bad unless he can get these guys playing alot better.

If we miss the tournament with this team no way Woodson is back.

My fear is that just making the NCAA Tournament is good enough for Woodson to keep his job.  I can see the argument being made that we went so long without making the Tournament that Woodson should be rewarded for making the Tournament 3 out of 4 years.  The problem with this argument is that Woodson inherited a solid roster, has open free agency, and huge NIL dollars.  So, his situation and results don't compare to Miller and Crean. I can't think of a coach that has done so little with the collection of 4- and 5-star talent we've recruited.

Another season of Woody...I'd rather stuff a Lego in my boots and walk around in them all day while not wearing socks to be honest.

I think the decision will be made (if it hasn't already) well before March. When you lose the fanbase like Woodson has, you don't get it back. His age and lack of recruiting aren't helping him, either.

For all those thinking that IU will be back next year no matter what, remember that roughly 2/3 of his losses are blowouts. Since they'll probably finish around .500 in the B1G, that's another 9 losses there. 6 of them will probably be blowouts. Then a blowout in the B1GT. This makes it unlikely they'll get to the NCAAT, but even if they do they'll get blown out there in the 1st or 2nd round. 

Attendance will continue to get worse and worse as fans become more apathetic. 

I just don't see him being brought back even if he squeaks into the tournament simply because of all the blow out losses and losing the fanbase.

Buckner won't be able to protect him and the NIL money this year wasn't well spent.

Why fear it? I will be shocked if this team gets in. Very shocked

IU men’s basketball outside the top 25 ranking but did receive 7 votes.  I guess that’s what $6,000,000 in NIL money will buy.

I noticed that too. Today I learned at least 7 AP voters don't watch college basketball.

I’m so freaking sick of this joker. We have so many transfers because he refuses to recruit high schoolers to balance out classes, and then he uses the “newness” as an excuse for his team sucking. Dude is such a joke.

You mean like Pat Kelsey (new coach) did at Louisville with TWELVE new players? Kicked Woodson's @$$ in the Bahamas... he just needs to STFU and go away.

Clearly that was edited by Mike Woodson.

Someone else did it for him because as he said in the third person:

”Mike Woodson doesn’t edit Mike Woodson”

Believe it or not this is directly from Woodys wiki page.  Someone is punking the public:

 

Woodson embraced "a modern style of play" at Indiana. He implemented "a four-out one-in offensive system that highlights versatile athletes in a free-flowing system" and "made a point to emphasize that he understood the importance of 3-pointers."^[24] Woodson also utilizes analytics to help determine player combinations.^[24]

Free flow offense is what our opponents enjoy when they play us.

We all knew this excuse was coming!  He is a very crappy who is too lazy to figure out how to develop chemistry nor does even know how to develop it

Who could have possibly foreseen him using that excuse this season? Oh, right, everyone in this thread who wasn't defending him.
