I thought there was already a plan in place? Not sure why Rabby and Eric are making it seem super chaotic.

Is it the pinkie or is he in the dog house? I was wondering why he didn’t get any run with as bad as Gallo was playing. 

IMO, Gallo has played bad all year, except for a few flashes.  This guy is a 5th senior who shouldn’t be making some of the boneheaded mistakes he makes

How things get complicated when it’s a former player who knows powerful people ect ect nothing crazy but my question still remains

They won’t release any real telling info until he is officially let go so don’t think you’re missing anything haha. It’s why I am in favor of the mid season firing so they can start telling us real info.

Can they get him a 6th year so he can run it back and get a raise!!

That’s actually a bad look on Ya’s part imo. That’s the HC’s call. Woodys reasoning is defensible, even though it didn’t work out. 
 

In my experience, you can bring it up again over drinks later that night if you have that kind of relationship. But showing the boss/HC up in public like that is not kosher and shouldn’t be tolerated. 

Ya should not have done that, need to respect the chain of command (especially in front of the players) etc etc

That being said, since this seems to be a one-off, I will chalk it up to Ya having a “I can’t take it anymore” moment.

Over under 41.5 total points we lose by these next 2 games on the road if Woody is coaching?

Put the house and the 401k on the over

with Golden cleared of any wrong doing could he be a candidate again?

There is a plan in place but as my wife always tells me plans change. I think there are some things behind the scenes going on. Woodson isn't going quietly into the night. Besides money there are a few things to negotiate I'm told. 

Also was told last week that Tucker and his dad are being a little difficult. They think he should be playing 40 minutes a game, plus already shopping him around to other schools for next year. So the staff is showing him

That would be grand. Let's get the Purdue student section to get some real nasty chants going such as "Fire Woodson"

Purdue fans would have a real nasty chant, "Extend Woodson".

No. Because he is succeeding at a big-time SEC program.

Why would he leave after one year? Answer; he would not leave UF for IU.

I doubt he was ever going to quietly with the ego has. Let it get ugly. The king doesn't deserve a graceful exit at this point.

I surely don't want it to happen, but should we get a full fledged a$$ whippin' in West Laffy, even Woody's staunchest supporters might throw in the towel as far as continuing to defend him.  Even ex-players should be ashamed that he put that kind of product - a product he selected - on the court wearing IU uniforms.

If this does happen, it’s the pinnacle of weak leadership… the culmination of many bad decisions and internal political strife. Allowing your in-state rival to put one of your program legends out to pasture should never happen. Never should have gotten to this point. Someone should have saved him from himself. If that’s the last time Woodson is on the sidelines / around IU, it would be a total shame. And I say that as someone who never knew Woodson the IU player.

A few things left to negotiate? Does he want a statue in the lobby?

Plus, I’d rather our next HC not be a total sex pest who is liable to stalk undergrad women around campus. Lol

Lol... didn't realize he's on year three.

To answer your question...NO.

[Hoosierfan2017 22,138]

IU will never be a great basketball program. Not with the enormous cluster**** that is the IU powers to be. This should be a simple decision. Woodson sucks as a coach, and he’s an enormous jerk to everyone around him, so fire him. We don’t need committees or action plans. Just exercise your power as athletic director and do it. Now.
