They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

Trouble catching up the last two days, but skimming over what's been discussed this afternoon:

 

Barring a final weekend in the NCAA Tournament it's a high likelihood he's gone. Only massive success will be able to cover the toxicity that's spawned between him and the fanbase. Even then, most of us realize that kind of success this year would be due to destiny or luck, not Mike Woodson.

It’s gonna get hot in here again. Collins owns Woodson on a shoestring budget. Lol.

Collins has really carved out a very nice gig for himself at Northwestern. He’s sort of their Coach K lol. Nightmare match up for Woody head to head.

Long live the king 

7-3 if he beats Maryland. He likely only needs to go 4- 6 after and year 5 is in site. He 100% should have been fired after illinois when everyone turned on him. But typical iu wait and let him gain momenteum. Give him every opportunity to save himself

The fact that we are even debating whether Woodson will be fired mid-season is an indictment of our program. The expectation should be that Indiana is always ranked and pissing excellence (grab a cup, Purdue). I can’t believe how far this program has fallen. RMK would rather lose by 20 with walk-ons that fight to the death than let a bunch of entitled sh!theads walk up the court. These coaches and players make more money in one year then most of us will sniff and they still can’t even be paid enough to give a sh!t. Let that sink in for a minute. They are paid to coach and play a game and they aren’t willing to put in the effort that you do everyday at work. And after you pay for a ticket to watch their pathetic performance they will tell you that you are not a “true fan”, for daring to question them.

Can you imagine completely failing at your job and having the audacity to ask for more money so you can surround yourself with the most talented be you can acquire, then completely failing after you have spent millions and promised you could deliver with “your guys”? How long do you think your boss would put up with your abject failure?This problem is so much worse than it is being framed. How terrible do you have to be to fail with unlimited resources? There isn’t a job you could have other than being the IU basketball coach that would accept that sh!t.

I haven’t posted recently because the state of this basketball program makes me sick. But when I see Kathy talking about “visceral reactions”, and taking the slow pragmatic approach I want to puke. Kathy is the type of person that would find her sister in bed with her husband and bust out the abacus and pro/cons list to figure out how to react to the situation. Fu€k a bunch of that.

Cig got it right. Set a standard, hold people accountable to that standard. Be great.

Sorry for the Ryan Phillips rant but this is crazy. Don’t let anyone gaslight you. This is a magnitude 10 ****!ng clown orgy and it is all because of one lazy, wine-sipping, cigar-sucking, nepobaby and his sycophant friends. The trustees don’t give a sh!t about this program and they don’t give a sh!t about you.  The proof is in the fact that they were willing pay millions of dollars to a budget clown (the kind that a divorced dad meets at a bar and hires for his kid’s birthday party) with zero college basketball experience (who nobody in the world would have even considered hiring, since they are a ****!ng budget clown you met in a bar) and then lie to your face about what you see with your own eyes. End of rant! Hallelujah, holy sh!t, where’s the Tylenol?

Getting hard to fire…
Yes he is but I guess we couldn't fire him after illinois because of optics. But of course we will fire him after he makes the tourney. Yeah sure

I would say a mid season firing and off season firings wouldn’t carry the same weight/optics.

I don’t think Dolson considers “just making the tournament” as a success.

People in here have said he will get to make the call all on his own. If that is true, then Woodson won’t be kept for just making the tournament id assume.
