Fire Coach Woodson Thread

My understanding is that his term on the BoT is ending, not just as the chairman. He could be appointed by the governor again, but whether or not that happens remains to be seen. What also remains to be seen is if he even wants another term, as some on here have said he doesn't.

Absolutely correct.

Assuming all the smoke about Buckner using is position to force the Woodson hire and then to keep him when he obviously wasn't up to the job is correct, it could be a political minefield to appoint him again. Re-appointing someone that abused his power? Not a good look.

So I just clicked this link, and would like to point out that Tom Ostrom is not on McCollum's staff. He was on Devries' Drake staff last year, but went with him to WVU, before that gets any traction.

Who was trolling? 

was on the Hoosier Sports Nation site... suggesting that someone would make a hard run at MMW. I'm guessing that even his mamma wouldn't make a run at him to coach her mahjong team.

I would love to have your optimism, but then why not announce it. Woody announcing he was retiring would instantly heal the fanbase which is incredibly fractured (but becoming less so with every bad loss). It would almost certainly prevent any major toxicity at home games which is inevitable right now. We have a one person recruiting class that isn't likely to get bigger. He has only two years left on the current contract and would need an extension as soon as the season is over. There is nothing to lose. 

I simply see no logical reason to let this farce continue without his retirement out in the open unless it is not written in stone. 

Heck, I would be willing to celebrate Woody the player, coach, and IU ambassador-- make a huge deal out of his last home game as coach.

Unfortunately I think his ego probably prevents any of that, or, his future at IU is not ordained yet and remains based on performance. Just my completely uninformed internet opinion, so who knows, I hope you and Stu are right and we (the royal we of negative nancies) are just chicken little lol

He ain’t retiring and he’s going to hang in there until the bitter end and force or dare the University to make a move, then he’s going out kicking and screaming.  It won’t be a good look by him or the University and he will try to stick it to them and the non-true fans, blaming them for him getting fired!  It’s going to get ugly, but I really hope I am wrong!  I don’t think so because he thinks he is entitled and his bruised ego will definitely take a giant hit!

Really with the whole BS thing again? Not falling for or believing anything related to that subject until I see it happen in real life, e.g. press conference, after last time. Sorry just can't. 

Yeah, I just go off of what I know from reliable sources. IU was never going to get Brad last time the way they handled things (not Dolson)

IIRC he just works for the Pacers and was a guest of Woody’s for the game, and he posted a picture he should not have (from Woody’s perspective).  He’s not a big money booster.
