To anyone who wants Woodson fired midseason for interim see OSU. Want no part of a dead cat bounce from an interim who then gets job full time completely screwing program as has happened to Buckeyes.

Woodson needs to go but after season but an interim now could do way more damage to program long term if they do well and are kept which could absolutely happen. Want no part of Jake Diebler Ohio St situation. 

Love the dead cat bounce reference; however, I see no way this would occur. We’ll get our change and Dolson will get his man.

Nothing changes here but I want this team to make the tournament. Even if it’s one and done. I want a selection Sunday. And a chance for me to irrationally pick Indiana to win a game.

Agree 100%. This is Woodson's last year, I don't really care if he gets let go during the season or afterwards. I'm going to keep rooting for my team.

Agree completely. However, no concern there. We have nobody on our coaching staff the admin would ever consider hiring as the head coach on a permanent basis. Mark that down. Fact.

I understand what you're saying but having the fans booing and screaming at the rest of the homea games would do more damage. And dolson knows he has to get the next hire right.

Hard to feel bad when the guy gets his @$$ kicked aside from the fact it impacts IU.

Have not posted in this thread today until now, and know how this is going to be received, but gotta say it anyway.

This is the FMW thread. One that I wholeheartedly support and am on board with. It devolved into a “let’s rip the players “ conversation. And it grew like wildfire.

I get it. These guys are getting paid…a lot. They are still young guys who are not going to be consistent from day to day. Hell, were you at age 19-24? I wasn’t. Calling guys soft. I have said we need more toughness, but anyone who is willing to put their bodies through what it takes to play at this level is hardly soft.

Woodson deserves the criticism and whatever fate he gets. Too bad that the folks who chose to denigrate the players can’t put aside their bile and congratulate some players who played their azzes off tonight.

Come on now you’re being ridiculous

[Golfman25 5,753]

No question a meeting took place after tie IL fiasco.  Probably more a damage control and what if type meeting.  Not a decision meeting.  Woodson isn’t going anywhere at the moment.  The math still works to get to 10 wins and possibly the tournament.   NW isn’t doing all that well, so a win there isn’t out of the question.

Are we sure Cheaney would not get a look if he took over and had decent finish? IU has not exactly been smart with coaching decisions recently. Better to not have temptation there if you ask me.  

No one thought Diebler had any chance and then he got it full time.

MM liking a tweet about you getting fired is inside noise Mike, care to comment on that?

I want to believe you, I really do.  However, we were dumb enough to hire Woodson in the first place so nothing would surprise me from IU.

If our administration can't tell an interim that it's only until the end of season and then we find a new coach, I will drive over there and do it for them. "Woodson is out, you're the interim but at the end of the season we're finding a new coach." Seriously. Doesn't matter how well they do. Just do the best you can but once the season is done it's HC search time. If we get our a$$e$ handed to us by Northwestern our only hope for the next home game not being truly embarrassing is if the students do actually protest and not show up. At least then the chances of the "Fire Mike Woodson" chants will be a lot lower. It will still be a chit show though.

I used to worry about the interim getting hot issue, too, but agree that no assistant would be made head coach permanently. The issue I see is the smoke that Woodson is going to get fired mid-season. Given that we kept him after last year’s training wreck, I just don’t see IU pulling the trigger. Why would they mid-season? Don’t get me wrong. I hope and think they should. I just don’t see it as a real possibility.

Positive. We won’t go down that road again. Former player with no head coaching experience. Dolson won’t take that chance again. Also Calbert isn’t interested.

There were a lot of people saying good things about the players in the game thread tonight friend. They showed heart and played hard, even if it was messy.

I would just like to know that this team getting a 10 seed and losing in R32 isn’t going to bring another year of this. I want to see our name called but if it’s going to set us back another year it’s really hard to get excited about it

A little zen - don’t worry about what you can’t control, enjoy the moment. 
 

And Woodson’s goose is cooked
