Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[coonhounds 9,318]

I will be shocked if we don't hear something soon. We are getting clowned on road games on TV with the fire hire extend woodson stuff. I am sure the turds at wacky have taken notice and next Friday may be a very sad day for iu if something isn't done. That's if this Sunday isn't a disaster. What a mess they put us in.
Fire everyone involved!

....because he thinks if Coach Knight did it this way, he should be able too. "...besides, he coached me!" lol 

The irony being most people attributed Knight’s late 90s swoon on spending too much time hunting and fishing and delegating recruiting to assistants.

Just checked out ticket prices for Sunday and now I’m torn between getting my family McDonald’s for dinner or going to an IU game. Would save a few bucks going to the game..

....my point exactly. Early on, in the 70's and 80's, Coach Knight didn't really have to go out and pound the recruiting trail all the time. Kids just wanted to play for him.

I’ll be shocked if we do. Going 1-1 on a B1G road swing is pretty par for the course. In a week where Painter lost at home to OSU and May lost to Minny, I’m sure Woodys supporters are convinced and selling the idea that we are back on track. 
 

It’ll take a bad loss to Maryland to get people fired back up again. Either way, IU isn’t the type of place to make a bold midseason move. When they moved on Davis it had already been about two seasons of the rank and file being fed up with him. And he still coached the rest of the season.

Coach Woodson is in not a good but a great spot.  Makes great money and besides the psychology (mainly hurt pride) of it all he can move on however that happens…and if he has taken care of his finances at all better than he coaches he is setup well financially….and will have opportunities that most people only could dream about.  (NBA, colleges on a smaller level, high schools etc).

Asked if worried this late in the season about Indiana's lack of defensive connectedness, Mike Woodson responds "No, you can never get worried there's too many games still left.."

We are down to the last third of the season. What is this guy talking about? About to start a brutal stretch.

Relax. We haven’t even hit the All-star break yet!

I think he believes that.

Without a doubt the most interesting thing about that game (in the first half anyway) will be how short of a leash the crowd has with Woody / the team before they start with the groans, boos, etc. I think the groans will continue happening pretty early when there is sloppy or bad play... Boos for lack of effort... They probably need to be down 20+ before they start chanting to fire Woody though if I had to bet

I think the fire chants should start during introductions.

I don’t know enough about knights early recruiting days, but he tended to bring in plenty of talent. I remember reading about him attending Damon Baileys games. After that it seemed to drop off but he still did go to games.

The Mackey point you made is notable.

Can you imagine 15,000 Purdump dingbats chanting in unison "Keep Mike Woodson!"

It will be awful yet awesome when (not if) that happens.

McDonald's is probably better for your health at this point.

A seed oil IV would be better for my health at this point.

I really miss knowing that Northwestern on the schedule was usually a W. Not with Woody he says hold my beer while I lose another.

[Demo 20,509]

 

Ya know, when Woody was hired the 1 thing I would’ve bet he’d be good at, if nothing else, was the press part. The HC of the freaking Knicks deals with the nastiest press in the country and you just knew he’d be great at spouting cliches, saying nothing, and getting out of Dodge. No, to add to all else he’s terrible at it. The “I don’t have a plan for Reneau yet” thing from the other day. $hit like this. The “real fans” stuff. I swear to God.

There are 11 regular seasons game left, coach?

Was He? I didn't take it that way at all

I saw this discussed by some people that have seen his posts before and they said he typically isn't one to joke about stuff like that fwiw

[Hoosier987 1,331]

Woodson’s refusal to adjust to a modern style of basketball has cost us numerous games. Chalk this one up as another. Malik and Ballo cannot be playing together.

I listen to Fornelli quite a bit on pods like Cover 3, in my opinion he’s a good guy and a jokester.  He gets IU and I think he is just poking fun at the Brad Stevens talk that comes up every coaching search.  He wouldn’t have sources on this sort of thing.
