Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[Hoosierfanyuh 2,684]

The burners are definitely doing a lot more damage than good even though they think the opposite

If you already plan to part ways at the end of this year, there’s like 11 games left, and the coach is apparently getting more notable / credible death threats than you’d otherwise suspect the HC of a major program that’s underperforming… why would you not agree to announce the retirement decision at minimum if not pull the plug entirely. “Optics” mean jack at this point. It’s not even a basketball decision at this point.

Optics. It’s telling a story.

Yeah, it's like a guy shouting "HEY GUYS, I CAN'T WATCH THIS".

The burner was basically asked to provide proof, said something like 'well, that's what I heard' and then took his ball and went home.

Fire Woodson, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap We want Dusty, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap

I fear this is just scratching the surface. 

I’m legitimately hoping he doesn’t get pelted with water bottle caps or something lol.

Tge fact we paid six million for a roster and everyone expects us to lose Friday by 30 is really proving just how far down the gutter Woodson has put the program. But he has 7 new players. It takes time man.

Thanks for the response. So am I understanding correctly… SDB’s proof of the death threat was a screenshot of Leal liking a tweet about said threat. Was SDB’s tweet the one Leal liked? 

So, was Leal’s “like” a confirmation of the “fact” that the threat happened? Or, was it to express his opinion about the “threat”? Or, did Woodson miss an NIL payment?

It’s going to be extremely hard for me to not be in the gym for the Michigan game. I don’t boo, won’t be a part of the “mob”, but that’s going to be a spectacle. Call it morbid curiosity. 

They can start that game at 2:30 am and I'll be watching!

Yes, they've moved the goal posts from "Woody shouldn't be fired" to "Woody doesn't deserve death threats".  Nobody is arguing the second....although we are questioning the legitimacy of it being an actual 'threat'.  As someone asked and the Dolson Burner avoiding answering, this would seem to be something that the media would be reporting on and a serious investigation would be made on IF the threats were considered to be credible.

The condescending burner brigade did not exist in this form during the Crean and Archie years in my experience… that seems to be a Woodson era cornerstone. Maybe my least favorite part of his tenure and that’s saying something. Hope they go away when he’s gone. Fanbase is in shambles… program is in infinitely worse shape than the record indicates. The burners are pouring gasoline on a fire and will contribute to a more toxic atmosphere at home this year.

Our next coaching staff not only needs to be good at analytics, they need to have a firm grasp on how social media works and how it will be utilized by everyone in the entire program. Even during Woodson's best season, we had TJD and Race arguing with fans on Twitter after games. A competent coach would have shut that sh*t down right away. Probably just one of many things Woodson doesn't understand about today's game.

Part of this talks about Woodson and the students booing, basically he wants Woodson to stay because the students have gotten their way too many times. Here's a thought, IU gives a crap about bad basketball before it reaches that point and moves on when they should.

It's paywalled... but it's Doyle, so I pretty much can guess what is says...

Yes! We’re two weeks ago from a coach sleeping with a cheerleader at this rate!

And I don't drink. Haven't for 10 years so multiple tenures of bad coaching with nothing to help me through it LOL

Likewise... been alcohol free for over 40 years... but I have BTB to get me through the Woodson era.

Scott should step in and shut down these burner idiots and/or their sources.  I bet he could find out who is doing this, there are only so many possible people.  Their garbage posts are bad for the program.

He’s obviously talking about Robby Blaser. Look at that hat. That’s a person with some authority.
