I don’t care what happens this season, I just want it to end with us hiring a new coach. His ugly brand of basketball with his team full of mercenaries is not my cup of tea. 

I could live with the mercenaries if he knew WTF to do with them....

Most mercenaries fall in love with the Indiana experience and become long term Hoosiers. In the transfer portal era, I’m good with the approach but watching quality ball and high level winning would go a long way.

I hit my limit early last season... so far, my opinion has not changed. Just fire him and lets let Scott Dolson hire a coach with a clue.

I'm not a fan, but unfortunately, the mercenary model is here to stay... however, with the Cook's and Simons' money, IU should continue to do well... but the obvious question is: what good is a team full of mercenaries if there's no one with a clue about how to lead them.

So does anybody have any idea what happened or why?

Coach Mike Woodson the epitome of The Peter Principle.

[OliviaPope40 6,423]

Guess I hadn't read the other thread on Adam but if it were me I would've taken Dolson's offer to spite Woody.

This guy sucks

Woodson could wreck the Titanic and they’d be cheering him on as they sink. That’s basically what they did all last season. 

Well he always said he was steering this team towards that huge hump in the distance, so it's not like you weren't warned.

While we are over here discussing Our recruiting failures and internal firing drama, Dusty May just gonna go get a commitment from Trey McKinney today.

Imagine having a grinder of a coach. I guess Archie tried hard, just wasn’t very good. And Crean was apparently too manic at times. Passing on May when we had the chance to sign him and Cig in the same offseason may be an epic blunder in hindsight. Thank goodness we have football this season. 

[TadQueasy 654]

Yeah I really worry we are going to have to watch May do a great job at Michigan and all wonder what could have been.

Not a Woodson fan but I don't worry speculatively about what might happen with a new coach somewhere else. Seen enough similar worries about other coach hires and stated misses here, who then flamed out.

If Woodson falls on his face, there will be others, and we're at least moving in the right direction after the utter disaster that was CAM. 

I think Woodson will do well enough so the program is attractive to others in the wings. It wasn't exactly attractive after CAM.

Not if Woody and others slander the fans on the way out. It seems to be a trend. Obviously we are a lot as a fanbase, as we are big and passionate. Many say, what coach wants that pressure, etc? That narrative is building.

However, we can also be the best fanbase in the world with a contender of a coach and a program. The NIL and resources are there to compete at the VERY top. That has to still be very attractive.

The IU fanbase is starving for a winner. Look at how the fanbase has embraced Cignetti. He came into historically the worst P4 program in the country. He didn’t b**** and moan and throw pot shots at the fans for not showing up to the games. He said “if you build it, they will come.” He built it immediately, and the rest of our home games have been sold out for weeks.

Woodson came into one of the historically best P4 programs, has had sold out stands since he got here, yet he constantly throws pot shots at the fans for not being satisfied about 1 tournament win in 3 seasons. He treats everyone around him in the athletic department like they’re beneath him. He begged the Hysterics to get his daughter a job, and then he had a petty meeting with Eric to sever all ties because the Hysterics had a guest on their show who dared to question Woodson.  

Woody has consistently and repeatedly shown us who he is during his tenure as IU’s coach. For some reason beyond my understanding, he has a loyal army that constantly ignores the reality staring them in their faces.

With NIL, Crean > Woodson and I would take him back now instead of Woodson in a heartbeat

The huge hump must be an iceberg
