He will prob be first or second team all SEC next year lmao. 

IDK...I think you're halfway joking here but Carlyle looks like a major whiff on the scouting end. Certainly not as talented as he was made out to be, and that's from eye test alone...and I don't think it's going to take "a snap of the finger" and all of a sudden he's going to be the player he was touted to be. Maybe he can be, but it's going to take dedication and long hours....and unfortunately, we always seem to hear or think a player or multiple players are going to be really good...more often than not, it doesn't turn out to be that way. Maybe  the Bloomington night life plays a roll... see Ballo.

I don't see this happening to be honest. This will be so ugly and toxic I don't think he will be able to say those things. I think there is a chance those things happen when he retires here in a few weeks though

That's the question, when and if IU makes a move on Woodson...will he go out quietly? Remember, he has self anointed himself "The King of Indiana."

Hell -- I'll carry Woody on my shoulders three times around SSAH and lead the cheers for him if that means we'll have a new coach in place by next season.

If he wants to get the full buyout compensation he sure as heck will. 100% that a 'don't trash IU' clause will be written into any separation agreement.

I've said it before, with Woodson as coach the inmates are running the asylum. He doesn't care what they do off the floor so there's no accountability, and the players know it.

I agree and lets hope it follows this way. It's best for both parties. I think the choice will be on Woodson which way he wants this to go based on his actions after.

I'll go on record today that outwardly it won't be messy.  He will retire; it won't be a firing.  In the end, Buckner will make sure that he exits gracefully at least to the outside world.  Behind the scenes, I suspect we'll never see him in Bloomington again.

They likely just saw his high ranking on the portal board. But he played for a really bad Stanford team.

100% and why they picked iu.

I don't think there is really any good left. By his true fans comments and not leaving last year when he should have its now ugly. We owe him nothing. He has damaged the program and he is not interested in what's best for it. I am just fine with it being ugly.

The "I did my job" comment after a 19 win season irritates me just as much.

That's like me telling my parents I did my job with a C+ average on my report card.

[coonhounds 9,035]

Scathing is an understatement.
If we lose at home to Rugers and get blown out by PSU at the Palestra, things could get interesting in a hurry. I don't think that will happen, but if it does the noise will be deafening.

We will have to play much better than we have imo. We can definitely win 1 or both but the eye test says otherwise. I will say woody has surprised me a couple times when I thought the team was done. Hopefully he can pull another miracle off and win both. I still think he is gone by February. That's my most likely scenario imo

We will never see him again. He doesn't really care about the program as a whole. He cares about himself. He didn't bridge anything all he did was divide. I hope he never comes back.

"Again, it's not going the way we expected. I only want the best for Indiana University and we've agreed they're going to go in a different direction to try to get this thing on track. Again, I owe so much to this place and only want the best for it. That's all I'm gonna say."

I’m virtually certain PSU game will be a loss since I’ll be there lol. Rutgers I think we should win but can very easily see Harper and Bailey go off on us. Things are about to get interesting! I hope we avoid the worst case scenario

They probably picked IU because we threw the most money at them. In reality, outside of maybe a couple of players, I don't think many of these guys care about Indiana like we do...at least they don't play like it. I would love to be proved wrong about this...but laughing on the bench up 3 against Winthrop doesn't quell this thinking. One can only hope, they prove us wrong.

Yeah definitely half joking but I do think he probably goes elsewhere and becomes a double digit scorer/plays an entirely different role where he is actually set up to succeed. Similar to Bates at Mizzou or Banks at Tulane.

Scathing... and accurate

Day-ummmm.

But they came to the same conclusion as most of us (Steuben, AH and Tyme excluded) ... FIRE MIKE WOODSON TODAY.

[LamarCheeks 19,104]

If I had to guess, I'd say the remainder of this season will be a linear journey, with a rigid proscribed set of waypoints, leading without exception to a logical and predictable conclusion.

Sure they can but he will still force dolson to fire. Don't be shocked if he uses the race card. He has proven to be arrogant and vindictive

I can guarantee you that it's not happening at Indiana under Mike Woodson. There's no "teaching" or "coaching" or "developing" going on here... just a bunch of overpaid wanna-bees doing their thing without guardrails, direction or consequences... and the Parasite Clown leading the parade down the street.
