Fire Coach Woodson Thread

I used to sit next to our meteorologist at work and a good friend is a fireman.  This video clearly means a process is brewing. Despite the energy building in that cloud-fire it is not fueled by emotions. It is a process brewing.  Some are hoping one person can step in and understand it and fix it but when you see it rolling and churning like that it means the process involves many. It is easy to miss these signs but I gained a lot of visceralness from my friends and am happy to explain for the rest of you.

Did you send it to the wrong person? I don’t have anything.

I replied in the same convo we had last offseason. Sent one around thanksgiving, maybe that’s why I didn’t get a response haha. Let me resend one

Do you know him personally? Have you seen him drinking excessively in public since being in Mississippi? Have there been allegations of him drinking in excess since being at Ole Miss? I haven't heard of any! How do you know he didn't have his epiphany and is Lazer focused on coaching basketball now? Again, he is already damned in the public eye because of that incident.  I believe in second chances and so far he is passing very well, I'm full go on Beard kicking @$$ and bringing IU back to the big boy table where we belong!

Texas literally has a football coach who is in open recovery and got fired for being a jackass at a booster event USC. Beard didn’t get fired from some overly sensitive school afraid of controversy. And he got fired for cause. Which is not an easy thing to prove. And he didn’t fight it. People keep saying “second chances.” I would argue that’s already happened, he literally got hired at a place in the same conference that’s notorious for terrible choices in the name of winning. We wouldn’t be his “second chance,” we would be the organization than decided to ignore all the baggage in the name of wins. I’d rather keep Mike Woodson than hire someone who was charged with felony domestic assault.

So is there actually something going on right now, or are people just trying to will breadcrumbs into existence? 
Unless Woodson gets blown out the next two games I don't see anything happening.

Based on a bunch of posts earlier today it appears some posters EITHER don’t know the Lore of the ‘21 search, or they love to be wrong. This isn’t exhaustive, but let me work backwards briefly.

A few months after Woody was hired, the most trusted news breaker in basketball, Woj, reported IU had been willing to make Stevens a big offer: https://sports.yahoo.com/report-brad-stevens-turned-down-to-70-m-offer-from-indiana-to-stay-with-celtics-222404520.html

You don’t get to the point of years and salary if it isn’t serious. The top line $70m number matched what plugged in, trusted posters had said contemporaneously during the search.

Up until the hiring news broke, the search had been very quiet, much like Dolson’s later revenue sport search would be. But if you knew who to trust, you knew there was a slow burn to a clandestine meeting in FL, then it fell apart.

No one has to believe me, but I was here, I PM’d some with the sources folks around here, and if you’re around long enough and pay attention, it’s obvious who among us is 1) BSing, 2) not sourced but here for fun and opinion sharing, and/or 3) who actually knows things occasionally.

This. Exactly and well said. I bring up the Woj thing all the time. I think the clip had Jalen Rose on it when Woj reported it? Way too specific for there to be nothing there.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, the only thing I would disagree on is he was in the SEC before Texas was.   Maybe he can get UT for stalking him? /s

Also rather keeping Woodson...no fuc&ING WAY!

Trey is not well liked by a lot of the students that frequent the local drinking establishments. 

I can vouch for that.  Kid was there when he was a freshman/sophomore.  They had issues with him just being a dck.
