Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[ap2345 8,572]

Basically Dolson had IU in a good spot. Brad wanted to take the job. Buckner and company had a group of donors meeting with Brad too and it was too many cooks in the kitchen. One of that group it might’ve been Buckner or Ferguson pissed off Brad’s wife so she was then out. They had a family vote and it was 3-1 to stay in Boston so they stayed. Brad has had conversations off and on with people he knows both with the Celtics and in Indiana about how he has always wanted to coach at IU or that it’s always been his dream job. He still has family in Indiana and may want to be closer to them as they are getting older. He has talked openly many times about his love for IU and that type of admiration never changes even if you call yourself a masshole. Scott and Brad also have regular communication and have ever since he turned IU done the last time. Couple all of that with the random Seth Davis and Micah Shrewsberry comments and all of a sudden there seems to be a lot of things that start to add up. Especially when some of these people don’t have any connection to IU. There’s probably more stuff that I’ve shared but that’s the gist of it

“NOBODY IS GETTING A CALL UNTIL BRAD SAYS NO MULTIPLE TIMES AND THAT OFFER WONT BE MADE UNTIL IU NO LONGER HAS A COACH!” Then it goes Dusty and so on. Until that time random names are pointless imo

What have Seth and Shrews states in the past? And thanks for sharing!

At the risk of being labeled a heretic and burned at the stake, I just don't buy into the love affair for Stevens.  Sorry boys and girls.

Same old song and dance. I would love it but not getting hopes up again for the what 3rd?? coaching search tied to him.

[Uspshoosier 46,757]

Just a reminder for those if you don’t get your guy A, B, C or even D there are plenty of good college basketball coaches coaching today that could take over and turn this around.  Doesn’t have to be the name brand coach to get this thing rolling.   Also if and that will be a big if Stevens becomes head coach and he doesn’t turn IU around then that’s all she wrote for IU basketball.   He is the White Whale for almost every IU fan.  If he can’t fix it then I would say most fans will check out

If Brad can't fix it then nobody can. That said, he would win at IU

If Brad fails here we need to shutdown the program, or basically run it on a shoestring budget and give up and focus on FB.

The first time it was never happening. That was actually Donovan that everyone thought IU was after him with. Last time it was close.

I really hope someone sticks a mic in Buckners face at some point. His legacy needs to take a hit for this too. 

He already has a mic in front of him for Pacers games. Don't subject the rest of the world to that.

Maybe but I can’t see the future so personally for me I can’t know that he would win for sure
