Fire Coach Woodson Thread

Convince me that NGW (or whatever that person was), Kathy and Tyme aren't the same person...

Not the same people, per se, but funded or organized by the same source. Social media (including message boards) are the dominant form of communication today. No major organization is going to let that go unchecked.

Curious if we will hear anything by end of day tomorrow, or if it will take another bad loss to force him to retire.

 

 

It'd probably take another blowout loss.

If IU wins Wednesday I don’t think anything happens. If they lose I’d be very surprised if Woodson was the coach when IU takes the floor against Maryland. IU definitely has concerns about what the students will do.

If they're that concerned, then the outcome of Wednesday's game shouldn't matter. Typical IU if that's the case.

And back at you.  Have you discussed Woody's extension with Ferguson and Buckner, et. al.,  that you're so positive he'll be back?  Who told you he'll be back?  Sources please.  Name them.
Never said he would be back I said it's certainly possible though.

When I saw the way Woodson and the assistants celebrated it made me curious if they were told something like “if you lose the next 2 games we’ll have to let you go so we don’t have another scene like the Illinois game”.

IU didn’t  fire him last year when we sucked something awful, but will fire him at 5-4 in the Big 10? You serious, Clark?

Expectations this year are much higher and last year we were coming off back to back tourney appearances.  If it gets away this year it’s back to back Jon-appearances.

I would think, and I'm basing this only on my gut -- which is pretty big these days, so I typically listen -- that even if we lose at Northwestern, we don't see any change. 

It seems the "Fire Woodson" chants only got going once we started getting poleaxed by Illinois. If we lose to NW, but play well against the Twerps, that might buy more time. Now, if we lose both ... 

(Honestly, I have no idea. Just guessing)

That certainly looked like a possibility... he seemed to be "coaching" really hard - harder than I've seen in almost 4 years.

Yeah, sure they are. The same smoke that Woodson was gone last year is here this year. But this year, it’s totally different…..

“Mackenzie’s deal is kind of unique because the crazy thing is Mackenzie’s mom reached out to coach Woodson with a text,” Hunter said on the Hoosier Hysterics podcast last week.  “And so that’s initially how it got started. We didn’t know him, but just obviously (Mgbako) being from the New Jersey area, and Coach (Woodson) being a Knicks guy, and just the people around. So she actually reached out to coach first and inquired about us recruiting her son.  So that’s initially how it kind of came about.”

Woodson says he first saw Tucker three years ago at IMG.
 
"I watched him work and said, this kid is really skilled. He can do a lot of things, but they told me he might go to elsewhere, so I walked away."
 
Then last spring, Tucker's father called Woodson to see if he was still interested in his son.
 
"I said absolutely. I'll be on a plane tomorrow to talk to you about him. We were able to get him to Indiana."

I thought if you wanted to talk to Mike Woodson, you had to come to Mike Woodson?

I thought the same thing!  Actually, I think that is 1st and only game he and his assistants coached that hard, like something was really riding on that game.  I actually seen Calbert talking to a ref during a timeout, I don’t recall ever seeing that either

Nope instead they gave him six million and said let's walk it back. You stunk but we will give you more money.
