I agree, it would provide a visceral solution for some, but it wouldn’t impact the long term health of the program, which should be the objective.

“Visceral” again.
Just call us troglodytes and be gone. You add nothing here

I still think announcing a planned retirement at the end of the year is the cleanest way out of this. 

If only every employer worked that way. Your terrible at your job and at the end of the quarter in two months you are out of here.

Well when you only show up once in a blue moon you miss a lot of info. I've detailed all the talks that have taken place since the Bahamas. 

I’ve read some of what you’ve posted, but I’m also aware of what’s going on within the AD.

We’re all too dumb to understand the great things the administration is doing.

We just need to let the king cook. He has 7 new players and a hump!!!!

No, you’re not.

From what I've been told, QB remains an issue with how/when we move on from Woodson and he will still want to be a large voice in deciding who we would hire going forward even with his term ending this year.

Tremendous NIL support and his team just got blown out by 30 at home. 
 

This was a Top 20 pre season ranked team and a Big Ten favorite in the top half. 
 

Mike Woodson failed once again, for the 4th straight year.

What benefit to the program would exist by firing him now? How would that improve the program in the near term, which is the only real impact it would have. Would we be more competitive? Win more games? Serve the interests of the players?

From my standpoint it would help to resolve the current apathy around the program. I doubt it saves this season but getting the fan base re-energized, and having the coaching search start in earnest now rather than in 2 months, has obvious benefits for next season and beyond.

I use the term because it’s accurate. I understand what some here want and I understand the “I’m hearing” gossip, though. We all want an elite program again, so the emotion is understandable.

I've figured it out. KathyC is Mr. Roboto ... 

Secret. Secret. I've got a secret. 

 

[Hornsby 2,443]

And again I just gotta get these guys to play harder. I got Malik hurt. We had good looks they just didn't go down.

I don’t believe you.

Visceral is not accurate. Wanting a change is NOT a knee-jerk reaction. It's NOT a gut reaction. It's NOT an emotional reaction. It's NOT a reaction that lacks intelligence. 

Even wanting a change now (though I don't think it will happen) is none of those things.

Not sure why this thread is so active… Kathy has made it pretty clear. We’re supposed to sit here stone faced until the end of the year and mindlessly say “go IU” the whole time… anything else is patently absurd and overly emotional. Lol

Actually, it’s not a secret. I know some here are pretending otherwise. I’ve been very straightforward, which is why people are so upset. All good.

[DoctorP 1,318]

We saw large swaths of the fanbase evacuating AH before halftime and “Fire Woodson” chants breaking out all over. 

SmughwithanS would have you believe these were “visceral”, and these fans’ opinions/behaviors don’t matter.

The call to fire Woodson isn’t new though so it’s not as “visceral” as your posting suggests. Many wanted him gone a year ago, recent performance has simply given us more conviction that getting rid of him is what’s best for the program.

 

That’s not visceral, it’s logical.

I think we all see the writing on the wall. Mike Woodson will not be the head coach next season, it’s all but a done deal at this point.
