If so, I'd think that either now (with 4 days for the staff to regroup before the next game) or after UCLA (with a 9 day layoff) would make the most sense, logistically. Benefit of now is you still have more runway to salvage something. Benefit of waiting is decreasing the chances of a turnaround that results in pressure to make a Diebler type hire.

I tend to believe the board insiders that say there are internal discussions on how and when to remove Woodson. I have to believe that there are enough influential people that feel like many of us do.  However, I'm a pessimist and assume it won't happen until the end of the season, and I am concerned that there's still a chance Woodson will be retained if we finish in the top 6 of the Big Ten.  This overriding fear that he will be brought back makes it impossible for me to get excited about any IU victory.  Please get rid of him now, so I can root for my team!

I don’t think it was. I heard he was disciplined for it. It has also been known around campus that he’s out on nights after games and weekends. He’s not liked by other males on campus.

He was possibly hungover Sunday morning which is why he played so bad. Wouldn't be the first time.  Kid used to see him out all the time when he probably shouldn't have been.

I believe the B4A stuff was shown to be not true wasn't it?  Think the picture was old and not from B4A.

Another picture made the rounds of him in the same clothes posing with a young fan.  I think the only question may be how late is was at the tables.

Kent Sterling is starting to waiver his stance from his chat today… He is against a mid season firing but at this point he gets it. He’s fine either way. The Sleeper Media cast were making fun of Woodson and used a blind fold with a clipboard to show how it felt coaching that last play. Tyler Hansbrough last night said Iu was trending towards Trash can status in the nicest way. It’s not a great feeling

Just remember, a Purdue fan started the whole controversy. Doesn’t excuse he or the rest of the teams play, but my wife and + several other couples were in that casino well after midnight and there wasn’t a single player in it.

On one hand, of course a coach is going to (hopefully) stick up for his players getting booed. On the other hand, Mike Woodson is the one who decided last year to put his players against the fanbase. Everything happening now is a consequence of his actions. I can’t wait for this coaching staff and roster to leave.

Not that it matters, but I decided to email Dolson a short, but polite message after the game yesterday. He at least took the time to respond. Probably should have sent it to the BOT.

Based on Woodson's Radio show comments, he isn't going down without a fight. I just don't see him "retiring". I think the University is going to have to fire him. Quinn Buckner's term doesn't end until July 1st. Who is to say he won't step in after the season is over in March and demand Woodson is back? It is clear they have massive ego's and just don't get it. I really do think Woodson thinks he is doing such a good job. What a mess. 

Last, I know most of you hate him. But, Dakich is worth a listen to today. I absolutely believe that the talk about Ballo and some of the players are true. It shows during the games. Look no further than Goode having Woodson and Rosemond turn around after the game. I really do think this is the lowest this program has been in 15 years. It's sad...I felt after sweeping Purdue in 2023 that the tide was changing. Makes me appreciate Trayce even more.

Can you listen to Dakichs show online somewhere or is it only available during its time slot?

He certainly is not retiring. He is going to dare dolson to fire him and his massive ego.

It’s a $6,000,000 NIL player development program ($6,000,000 men/man) through March 31, 2027.  Patience.  No need to hurry.

Sadly for the kids, the losing will continue to take care of itself.  
 

likewise, the losing should mark the end of this experiment. 
 

I actually think an interim is the best of both worlds - maybe rally the troops for the next two months and have a new coach by early April.

I thought about this earlier… What if Kenya becomes the interim HC leads us to a NCAA tourney bid and wins a game. I’m guessing he could get some NcAA HC interest from smaller programs and might accept. I know we probably don’t want him as Indiana’s HC but what if he has a solid run to make the tourney, wins a game and wants to return as an assistant for the next HC say it be a Stevens who might not have a college staff built. Would Dolson allow Kenya’s return or does Scott not want anyone back from the Woodson era? 

I hope Dolson hires the head coach and then gets out of the way to let the head coach hire the staff he wants.

Dolson “presented” Fife and Matta to Woody, because he knew (I assume) Woody was not qualified to be a college head coach, but this hire better be someone that doesn’t need “help”.

Hire a great head coach and trust him to build his staff without any administrative interference/suggestions.

I am assuming Woody was Buckner's pick and Fife/Matta was Dolson's "counter" to "sell" it because he knew Woody had 0 experience and needed the help.....this blew up in Dolson's face and he's left to repair it.....No doubt he will

So many people in this program have a sense of entitlement and can't handle criticism. 

With Mike Woodson at the top of the list.

Yes.

That’s what I think but, as I posted, we need a great hire that doesn’t need any “help” and then let the new head coach 100% pick his own staff.
