He said he wasn't born for the last Knight championship so he could be born 88 or after. He could be Jordy Hulls for all I know. He said he was going to report me to the big guy later today. He now says I post on here and Peegs. I haven't posted on Peegs in 16 years. Tyme and I shared some DM's and are friends now. I don't think Tyme and NGW are the same person. Tyme said he went to IU in the early 90's and that we have met before. Much nicer than NGW. 

Trying to get caught up after too much work the last couple days, and this has to be the biggest news to drop in the FMW thread since Bruce Pearl was flirting with us last spring!

To be me it's just look at the last 25 years and ask yourself just what makes you think our incompetent administration will finally make the right move? They brought him back this year and gave him more money. I'm sorry but it'd hard to have any faith in them. They haven't proved they are capable of being competent until I can see them be competent.

I hear you but just discounting Crean is way, way off imo. Just ignoring that he took a complete dumpster fire (which was courtesy of the administration), zero scholarship players and baseball walkons, to multiple SW16’s, B1G championships and some of our all time favorite IU players, is just wrong imo.  
Have said it before but besides the disastrous handling of Sampsongate, the real failures within that 25-year period are CAM and Woodson. We were on track to getting “back” under Crean, with the right hire after him, but the Admin blew it. In fairness it/they did make the right choice to move on quickly from CAM - that itself wasn’t wrong / but utterly blew it with the stupid cadre of current trustees in going with Woodson. He never should have been on the short list.

In general, the more we win, the chances of Woody leaving after this season decrease.

So, I get some folks want IU to keep winning games, and that's fine I get it, but it does create more risk with our coaching situation next year.

Looking back on last year, we had a late season five game winning streak.  Most fans generally liked the run, though we still missed the tourney by a mile, making those wins fairly meaningless.  But, that five game run may have kept Woody around another year.  If he lost most of those games he might be gone.  We'll never know.

Top-5 finish in the B1G this year and win a tournament game... even with a more powerful Dolson it's not a certainty he's gone.  After all, "It's Indiana."

Is Indiana University going to fire a black coach who just finished top 5 in the league and made the NCAA tournament 3 out of 4 years?  I think you’re insane if you think so.

Now it’s possible he’s just really tired of it all and will retire.  I just can’t see his ego allowing it even if he was tired of it all.  That would give us non true fans the win and he can’t do that.

Roger that! No harm…

He gets paid millions of dollars to barely work and have his ego stroked every day. Zero chance he voluntarily gives that up.

Great point to fire woodson. He has never beaten northwestern in his 4 years lol

Correct. They will have to fire him.

Trouble catching up the last two days, but skimming over what's been discussed this afternoon:

 

Barring a final weekend in the NCAA Tournament it's a high likelihood he's gone. Only massive success will be able to cover the toxicity that's spawned between him and the fanbase. Even then, most of us realize that kind of success this year would be due to destiny or luck, not Mike Woodson.

It’s gonna get hot in here again. Collins owns Woodson on a shoestring budget. Lol.

Collins has really carved out a very nice gig for himself at Northwestern. He’s sort of their Coach K lol. Nightmare match up for Woody head to head.

7-3 if he beats Maryland. He likely only needs to go 4- 6 after and year 5 is in site. He 100% should have been fired after illinois when everyone turned on him. But typical iu wait and let him gain momenteum. Give him every opportunity to save himself

The fact that we are even debating whether Woodson will be fired mid-season is an indictment of our program. The expectation should be that Indiana is always ranked and pissing excellence (grab a cup, Purdue). I can’t believe how far this program has fallen. RMK would rather lose by 20 with walk-ons that fight to the death than let a bunch of entitled sh!theads walk up the court. These coaches and players make more money in one year then most of us will sniff and they still can’t even be paid enough to give a sh!t. Let that sink in for a minute. They are paid to coach and play a game and they aren’t willing to put in the effort that you do everyday at work. And after you pay for a ticket to watch their pathetic performance they will tell you that you are not a “true fan”, for daring to question them.

Can you imagine completely failing at your job and having the audacity to ask for more money so you can surround yourself with the most talented be you can acquire, then completely failing after you have spent millions and promised you could deliver with “your guys”? How long do you think your boss would put up with your abject failure?This problem is so much worse than it is being framed. How terrible do you have to be to fail with unlimited resources? There isn’t a job you could have other than being the IU basketball coach that would accept that sh!t.

I haven’t posted recently because the state of this basketball program makes me sick. But when I see Kathy talking about “visceral reactions”, and taking the slow pragmatic approach I want to puke. Kathy is the type of person that would find her sister in bed with her husband and bust out the abacus and pro/cons list to figure out how to react to the situation. Fu€k a bunch of that.

Cig got it right. Set a standard, hold people accountable to that standard. Be great.

Sorry for the Ryan Phillips rant but this is crazy. Don’t let anyone gaslight you. This is a magnitude 10 ****!ng clown orgy and it is all because of one lazy, wine-sipping, cigar-sucking, nepobaby and his sycophant friends. The trustees don’t give a sh!t about this program and they don’t give a sh!t about you.  The proof is in the fact that they were willing pay millions of dollars to a budget clown (the kind that a divorced dad meets at a bar and hires for his kid’s birthday party) with zero college basketball experience (who nobody in the world would have even considered hiring, since they are a ****!ng budget clown you met in a bar) and then lie to your face about what you see with your own eyes. End of rant! Hallelujah, holy sh!t, where’s the Tylenol?

Yes he is but I guess we couldn't fire him after illinois because of optics. But of course we will fire him after he makes the tourney. Yeah sure

I would say a mid season firing and off season firings wouldn’t carry the same weight/optics.

I don’t think Dolson considers “just making the tournament” as a success.

People in here have said he will get to make the call all on his own. If that is true, then Woodson won’t be kept for just making the tournament id assume.
