Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[IUrocker 2,202]

Saw on the other site that there’s been some new rumor/talk that Dusty May is Dolson’s #1 guy and that’s it’s not even close.

While Woodson is a disaster the one thing I think we need to realize is neither Thad Matta or Dane Fife being here still would change anything. For everyone who thinks those guys leaving spelled doom we need to face the facts that they were not solutions and their presence on the staff made zero difference.

Game has clearly passed Matta by and his hiring at Butler was same sentimental thing IU did and his tenure there has gone about as badly as Woodson's. Bulldogs working on seven year NCAA drought after two bad hires in a row with Jordan and Matta. They have become irrelevant locally. Tonight they were leading by 14 with 5 minutes left before a very mediocre Villanova squad scored final 22 points at Hinkle Fieldhouse for win. This sounds really familiar to Indiana's issues. Matta was a great coach in his day but end of OSU tenure was poor and he has been worse at Butler and don't think his knowledge in today's game was any great help to Woodson.

As for Fife, he blasted NIL and talking politics at work and I know for a fact those reports were 100% true. While his heart is in the right place, his philosophy does not match today's college basketball and there is a reason no one has hired him since.

To anyone who thinks Woodson letting these guys leave was a problem, that is just not the case. This basketball program has major issues that are the same with or without them and those who think them being around changes things are severely misguided.      

Agree Matta or Fife on Woodson's staff wouldn't matter much. Disagree with your characterization of Matta at Butler. They aren't great, but he's improved them from the end of Jordan's tenure. Butler was probably better than IU last year despite a vast difference in the resources available.

Butler is just kind of screwed in the NIL era. Both guys from their starting backcourt last season left in the portal for more money. When programs like Dayton and Washington can poach your players, it's going to be very hard to build anything.

An epic fail!  It’s because he didn’t try!

I agree only because Woodson only listens to Woodson.  But overall, I disagree because it was never given the chance to work because Woodson would not allow it!

I bet he doesn't even half half the nil Woodson has. Most schools don't.

You call and offer whatever Brad Steven’s would consider. If he still says no, you call Dusty.

This is what i predict is actually going to happen, and i think we’ll end up with Dusty. I’d be satisfied with both. Dusty negotiated his buyout to be as easy as it is for a reason. 

[Hoosierfanyuh 2,286]

Dusty has a nice recruiting class if it does workout in our favor.

[IUFAN1976 3,293]

I was listening to POTB on inside the hall and he has Brian Tonsini of Delphi Bracketology and where he has IU right now, IU will have to go 12-8 or 13-7 to get on the right side of the bubble.  Well we all know with the way this team has played and how they are coached, we aren’t getting in the tournament by what he says.  Something is going to have to change drastically with this team for that to happen and we know that won’t happen either!  
FIRE MIKE WOODSON NOW, that’s the thing that needs to drastically happen to inject life back into those players!

What is this “recruiting” of which you speak? Is that really a thing?

It’s this thing where a coach sits with a recruit and talks with them. Examples would include at a dinner.  Or at a football game.  
 

Helpful tips are stop drinking and go to the dinner and leave the luxury box and sit with the player at the football game

I saw on HSN one guy who supposedly has some info said that Stevens isn't even a consideration and that May is the #1 choice by a lot.

Seems about right when you have zero good wins

No kidding. I thought you just waited til spring and threw money at the highest ranked guys you could find within a couple week span. Then the twitter cult claims you are cooking.

True in a pinch though you can utilize a Denzel style “My man”
