Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[Hornsby 2,249]

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.

Initially they were but I've already seen the goalposts moved. Soon it will be the king got us in the tourney 3 of 4 years. His supporters are already talking like just getting in is a big achievement. Kert sterling did a 180 in a matter of days. Somebody told the media to knock if off.

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

Except when you can get 18 holes in on the house.

“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 ... "

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."
 
 

These comments just exemplify what a terrible regime this is ... 

Comment No. 1: They didn't know a kid who was considered a five-star recruit? (Granted, he hasn't played like one, but still ... )

Comment No. 2: Someone told him Tucker might go elsewhere, so he walked away? Good lord -- that ain't how you recruit. If you're interested, you don't take no for an answer until they've committed -- and not even then. 

Hiring a guy in his 60s who never coached college hoops? Freakin' brilliant!

Let’s see what happens after NW.  I don’t trust Woodson at NW vs Collins

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.

No one should be surprised by a fifth Woodson season, imo. This is the same administration that hired him, gave him a million dollar raise, and brought him back for a fourth season. It’s been a while since doing what’s best for IU basketball has been the priority for those running things.

It seems like he’s 99.9% gone imo.  Dolson was ready to move on last season.

I mean, the athletic director wanting to move on but not being able to doesn’t inspire confidence.

The argument from QB was “Archie got 4 years, so does woody. And here’s $6mm to buy a team”

and underachieve

11-9 puts Indiana at 20 wins and likely with 5 or 6 quad 1 wins.  11-9 will put them in given the remains schedule

11-9 would give them a 2 seed in the NIT at best.

11-9 gets them out of Dayton

The circumstances are different now though. Last year at least the argument could be made that all Woody needed was his guys. Well he got them, and the team is massively underachieving. Students and fans have all turned, and it’s just going to get worse. There’s no logical argument to keep him. The administration’s hand will be forced. 

And rich people generally don’t get rich by being dumb. They ponied up the cash for this year’s team because they thought it would work. It didn’t and they won’t again for this coach.

All this “woe is me” he could still get a 5th year is pointless. It’s not going to happen.

Don't hold your breath.  Nothing is happening until end of season at the earliest.

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)

Yes.  What Woodson needs to avoid is a no effort 30 point blow out at home.  If they get some momentum going and the games are competitive, the crowd won't be the problem.  Just don't suck.

That would be amazing if it was Fife with Moye assisting. There would be absolutely zero tolerance for lack of effort.

Hey partner, Coach has got us to the tournament 2 of the last 3 years. 

[IUFAN1976 3,513]

I think everyone who thinks we are going to go 11-9, make the NCAA tournament and Woodson will get a 5th year is forgetting several points:

1) Woodson will get out-coached by all the remaining coaches he will coach against 

2) Even though Woodson and staff coached hard like their life depended on it, they will revert back to their lazy coaching because that is what they are used to and a leopard doesn’t change their spots

3) Because of their laziness, they won’t prepare or prepare thoroughly against most of the remaining games

4) MW and staff can’t coach

There are probably several more but you all get the point. Things will go back to mediocre and MW will either be fired or forced to retire because I am confident all the above will happen

I’m guessing Dolson doesn’t feel the timing is right after a win. Hope I’m wrong.

With zero non conference wins and really no wins to date outside of 2 "on paper" wins... Yea I don't see it. We've yet to beat a team that'll actually make the NCAA tourney.

Seriously?  Based off what happened to Fife from Woodson, I didn’t think he would step back on campus again as long as Woodson was the coach!  Wait a minute!
