Fire Coach Woodson Thread

Dusty May's agent is probably lighting up like a Christmas Tree right now just as Bruce Pearl's agent was last year. We get taken to the cleaners every cycle and never learn. 

I see you have moved on to step 2 of the "I was dead wrong to keep supporting the current coach but can't just come straight out and say that" playbook.

Yes, yes...Woodson has to go but we won't get anybody because pressure, fans, rubes, etc.

IU plays in the B1G.  They will not have any problem finding a coach wanting the job.   Most good college coaches have huge egos who think they will fix the problem.   They will not be scared off by the noise.   You get back up to plate and swing again and hope you hit some doubles and those doubles turn into triples or homers.   Is the noise loud at IU?   Yep but that won’t matter to most coaches.   Honestly the bar has been set so low by the past 2 coaches it won’t take much to get the fans back in good graces.  

Some really bad ones do too.

Confirmed that yesterdays meeting of that committee was not about what we hoped it would be about.

Yeah, I could be wrong, but I'd be surprised if that committee was charged with advising on the termination of an athletic coach as a general matter.

Listening to DD today and he said he got 3 text last night from a former player, a former golf coach and two friends who sits a couple of rows behind the bench.

The former player was a player that DD has never met but did say he won while at IU. This player just went off on this team and the culture around this program. Called the players entitled and lazy and only plays for themselves. DD read the whole conversation between the two but can't remember everything he said. I was trying to figure out who this player is, he said he was an African American and not from this area of the country. If DD didn't know him so it would have to be a player before DD got there or after he left IU. I would have a hard time thinking this was a player during Woodson's playing career because they would possibly friends. If it was after he left then I can't think of many who won much after he left. I wonder if it was a player from 2002 because they actually won something.

The former golf coach was at the Bahamas tournament and said the players were pretty much trying to run the huddle and not listening to the coaches. He also stated that Rice is a child and can't win with him.

The two friends said the vibe around the UI game was a strange. He said walking into AH had no juice and just walking around the concourse there wasn't any either. Also that inside AH right before the game there wasn't your normal atmosphere.

Agreed. I too am a prof and know much about faculty governance at the campus level. This committees governance authority lies probably more along the lines of athletics academic compliance.

Right. If there was some huge academic scandal or something, I could see that. Or even a Knight type scenario. But just a run of the mill, early termination for under performance probably wouldn't require faculty approval. I'm sure Dolson would eventually discuss it with the committee after the fact, though.
