Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[Trish 11,639]

Wow! Couldn't catch tonights game as I was busy. However, I am excited to see the last 10 pages of comments regarding tonights L. It appears this team has failed, once again. Mike Woodson has failed, once again. The student section has turned on him and the program is DEAD!

Tonight was a huge win for the tank train. We are making our way through the Rust Belt and will be back in Bloomington at the end of March!

Woulda been interesting if they came and said “oh we know they’re not booing us—just Mike Woodson”. A guy can dream, can’t he?

Both Goode and Leal clearly said that their performances have been embarrassing and that they absolutely understand why the fans are upset and booed them.

That isn't exactly what others are reporting they heard?

He basically has an IU buyout in his contract.  He negotiated it so he can watch our offseason unfold.  

Thanks, I didn't know that.

It's not all doom and gloom. The IU football team just landed another transfer today. So we have that going for us.

Also, fire Woodson yesterday.

I just watched their press conference appearance. Leal and Goode fully acknowledged and accepted responsibility and were absolutely excellent. They were far better than Coach Woodson in accepting reality; Woody was more somber and dejected and less forthright.

It would take a long losing streak and continually losing every game to a decent opponent by 20+ points, but it could happen. 

two in a row is a good start...

Was at a Griefshare meeting tonight and the friends watching my daughter are Illinois fans I knew the game was a disaster when the husband opened the door with a big smile

Luke Goode on fans lashing out:

I understand it. We got embarrassed. We have to wear this jersey with more pride. As Indiana Basketball players this program is too historical and too great to be represented like that. But to all the fans that were booing and so negative on social media just don’t switch sides when we get this thing turned around. We all got confidence in our coaches and teammates so stay on our side for when we start being successful again.”

That’s a great answer by Luke Goode.

I think this needs to be vetted more. He has a low buyout. I hope he set that because of IU but I think we are assuming a lot here

It’s like a $4 million buyout after this season

Mich was so desperate to get back on track. It’s been mentioned here, but he allegedly turned down Louisville bc they wanted a higher buyout. If May doesn’t get the IU job, Mich will renegotiate his buyout.

McNeely and Mullins look pretty smart right about now.  How soon before Sisley decommits?

This guy must be diehard Iu to be shopping for jobs that allow home to come home.

There’s a tweet that Dolson had him lined up last offseason but QB shut it down.  Dolson probably asked to give him one more year.

I’ll bet there is a chance he gets terminated if we get blown out in both of the upcoming road games.  The administration might want to avoid the booing, fire Mike Woodson chants etc that would occur at the Maryland home game (and after that we go to PU and Wiscy…LOL). 
 

If we split the two road games, however, he will probably cling on. The wheels HAVE to be turning in Bloomington. We will see.

It’s so bad that it wouldn’t shock me in the least if at Purdue, they skip the IU Sucks chant and start an “Extend Woodson” chant.

IMO, half of it was on point. These guys need to focus less on social media and more on hitting the gym. They should stop worrying about what fans are saying—if that's their only source of motivation, then the program is in even worse shape than I thought. Fans being critical shouldn't affect them - they are paid like professionals and maybe that's part of the arrogance players seem to have these days. The problem we have is they haven't done anything to warrant that arrogance. Absolutely nothing. You got smacked on your home floor. Take it and don't say a word about that fans. Without us, they aren't making a fraction of what they do. 

If social media is a problem, delete it or at least remove them from your phone if you can't resist the temptation (most people can't). Start winning, and the boos will stop. Play with the intensity you showed in the first few minutes of the second half throughout the entire game, and no one will be booing regardless of the score. Crean's first team got murdered frequently but they played their ***** off. I still look back at that team and respect every single one of those guys. At the very least, fans want to see effort and a sense that you care. Complaining about negative fans on social media comes off as weak.

The extended family member  of Dusty's that I know. Said those close to him that live in the Bloomington area. Would rather he stay in Michigan. They like being able to go out in public with no crazy fans. But let's hope their wrong.

No it is not.  Not anywhere close.  He's basically doing the fkg "true fan" bullchit from last year.  He should have said, once we get this thing turned around we'll welcome all of those fans back that we disappointed.

He's making it sound like to boo this team is to be a bandwagon fan.

Losing this badly naturally gets this kind of visceral reaction from a fan base.  I know it's sometimes out of your control but it's not because the fans are going to ditch you and join, I dunno, Auburn.
