They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[IU Prof 1,743]

One other atmospheric factor is the difference in how electric the Hall was today when Cignetti and the FB team came out, versus the vibe for the first 35 minutes of the game. It really highlighted in my mind just how much Woodson has lost the fan base.

Woodson buyout drops to 50% of remaining salary at March 31st, 2025 essentially reducing buyout from $8.4M to $4.2M, are they waiting on that?

I think this has come up several times ... and I believe that the latest contract with his raise allows for a $1m/year payout on the buyout... but that it extended the payout for another full year... so the amount due doesn't drop until March 31, 2026...

Either way, he will be incredibly lucky to make it through the current season.

Simon Scott would have been better off flushing her 6 million down a toilet. What a god awful investment.

I'm good with them doing what they did... for two reasons:

1. It wasn't my money. Waste it as you see fit, Mr Cook and Mr Simons et al.
2. It clarifies beyond all doubt that Woodson cannot coach to save his life, regardless of the talent level at his disposal. They gave him $6M so that he could select the players of his choosing... no excuses with who he got. And the results are 100% absolutely on him.

He should have to pay IU.

That raise was so stupid. 

It was Woodson's Uncle Quinn's doing.

Mike just ain't feelin' the heat. Guy literally thinks as long as he's over .500 in overall record or in BIG 10 play, he's kickin' that a$$! He's almost so delusional that I'm jealous of his level of delusion!

IMO also nice Dolson was vindicated in wanting to get rid of him.

Everyone needs to stfu and listen to Scott.  He’s our best shot.

My brother was at a birthday party with some big wigs last night. They think a change is happening in season. I don’t know if today speeds that up. My gut says he gets the 2 road games too, but with the staff so divided and all the drama things could happen

The “janitor” who used to be connected long ago with Crean says a Loss today makes an impact.

I think people are guessing but I could see reason for a change now.

I agree with this, there’s some big names involved that want a change soon.

And he could agree to accept a lesser total amount in a lump sum vs a million/year over time.

So basically, IU basketball really needs to get over the lump not the hump!

If I donated millions of dollars to pay for this team, I think I'd want to see a change to try to salvage my investment before it's too late.

Not the end of the season, sooner than that

End of the season is not soon; in-season is.

The compromise option is an early announcement that this season will be the end of the line. I’m thinking that is the most likely scenario.
