Fire Coach Woodson Thread

Woody wanted IU to have  a seat at the table with the big boys in college basketball.   Big boys separate themselves from others by winning high level games.  Those games are Q1a games 

Home- 1-15

Neutral- 1-25

Road- 1-40

when separating teams pushing for 1 seeds in the tourney it can come down to how a team performs in the Q1a area 

in 3.5 years Woodys record against these teams is 6-23.  
 

Year 1-(2-8)

Year 2- (4-6)

Year 3- (0-7)

Year 4- (0-2) so far 

3 of Woodys 6 Q1a wins are against Purdue.  

Woody should give all the money he has made at IU to Trayce Jackson Davis.

Coach Cig says curses can be broken and you don't need a voodoo doctor just an experienced and competent college coach.

Sounds simple. I wonder what IU’s problem is?

Too many cooks in the kitchen. The Cig hire was mostly Dolson with input from Whitten, which is how it should be. We didn't have boosters/BOT members/donors trying to meddle with that hire because none of them cared about football.

After Dolson whiffed on Steven’s I can see how he wouldn’t have the political capital to fend off QB, but the whole affair—as told on here—is hilariously incompetent.  
 

Arguably, the only competent action was Glass breaking his initial promise (which was dumb) and hiring Archie when he came available, but in classic IU fashion that failed miserably too. 
 

It’s possible we’re cursed at this point. May need to call in a New Orleans voodoo doctor to get this sorted out.

I'd be very interested in hearing about this "initial promise". I've seen references to it, but have not seen/heard the story. Who in their right mind would have even considered such a promise to hire a hack of a never-was NBA coach to lead a college program (ANY college program, let alone a P4 program) with absolutely no college experience or knowledge of what would be required? Glass screwed the pooch a few times on his own, but at least he prevented (or forestalled) this train wreck on his watch.

And purely FWIW, at that time, Archie was considered an up and coming coach.  Unfortunately he turned out to be a down and outing coach.

As an outsider I was excited for the hire.  But, the hard part was in the interviews one would have needed to figure out he wouldn’t translate well to IU.  That’s tough to do, but it’s why we pay ADs the big bucks.  Oh well.

[Home Jersey 8,229]

Getting blown out on prime time slots to B10 schools like Iowa and Nebraska is embarrassing, but each time it happens also seriously impacts Indiana’s already degrading brand. That’s why he should retire mid season. To tell the CBB world we’re as serious about basketball as we are football. The small likelihood of winning a few more games is just an added bonus. Relieve the fans of the obligation to watch this shameless display already… other teams players are openly disrespecting our players to media, lol. Meanwhile our “coach” is Bigfoot on the recruiting and media trails… please get serious…

But, I was told his teams didn't play defense and he was just another Archie Miller...and that it would take multiple years for him to win here...

Michigan is one of 7 teams in the top 20 in offensive and defensive efficiency on kenpom. If that holds he’ll be poised to make another deep run. 
 

that would be one heck of a turnaround.

[Dave from Dayton 3,291]

My prediction: Woody will resign on Sunday, March 16, 2025.

Just after the Big Ten Tournament Championship game and after the NCAAT seeding is announced.  Probably before 8 PM ET.  If that does not happen then...just turn out the lights of SSAH.  

We will see if this administration is serious about basketball in the next two months.

We haven’t even played any of the top 9 teams yet and still have 2 horrendous losses.

I think Mike Woodson highly disagrees with that.

[Home Jersey 8,229]

Purdue is beating the tar out of Nebraska early up 22-7, looks a lot like Iowa vs. us yesterday. Purdue is probably gonna destroy this team. Woodson has been really bad against them without TJD

For people in this thread might be too hard to watch them.   I agree they are fun to watch however they have flaws that will prevent them from making a run in March.   They got to clean up the TO situation and stop letting teams come back on them.  Wolf is a beast 

Johnell Davis not being able to transfer in was a huge blow. It’s one thing that gives me hope for Dusty, he’s experiencing impacts of Michigans weird transfer rules in year one. IU will always be a place you can win bigger in basketball, alma mater aside.

Of our next 10 games, we will be lucky to go 2-8 or 3-7.  That would put us at would put us at 16-11 (7-9) or 15-12 (6-10), that would be a fine kettle of fish and yet we all see it but the Administration sits back and does nothing instead of trying to save this season.

Well they screwed to pooch and probably don’t care about basketball either, I know most of on here definitely don’t as much as we did
