Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[AZ Hoosier 6,469]

I think that is where Dolson can buy him out. Your plan is not good enough and I have Coach Pearl, Cronin or May on line 1 who does have a plan. Here's your check and thank you for bridging the gap. Please feel free to play golf as much as you like at Pfau. If you ever need tickets we will reserve a spot in the balcony for you.

Yeah… what it’s the survival rate for an arrogant employee telling his boss that his plans are “not your business”? Sort of seals the deal in my mind.

I don't even think Alford is all that and not trying to stir the pot... 

But could you imagine if we hired him as the HC and Woody as an assistant (which he has plenty of experience in)? 

Alford could handle being on the road, and Woody could play his "closer" role once they're on campus and sell his NBA background, etc.

Sure Alford isn't a world-beater by any means, but way better college coach than Woody. And if he had some better talent here? 

Who knows... 

So ready to close the book on this chapter it feels like the rest of this season will take forever.

I don't really feel like he bridged any gap buy maybe if he tell him that he will go just away.

Do you have a camera in my house?

Just depends on if dolson has the guts to do it or if quinn in his ear keeps Woodson here.

The Shrewsbury talk is going to turn me into a Dust man. Three years as a head coach, one winning season, and an overall 45-47 record. That’s not what I’m looking for… at all.

Hard to imagine a less nuanced take

Rabby also confirmed he does not have an IU clause in his contract so I think we can mark him off the list.

I don't think Dolson could sell Shrews this offseason either way, but I guarantee he has Notre Dame competing within the next 3 years

I think us old geezers would still think of his playing days and what he did on the court as a player.  The younger generation would only have his pro and college coaching records for reference.  

Which is a shame because he was a damn good player.

We were around 10th earlier in the year in the Kenpom Luck stat.  Now we're 19th.  Looks like coach Woodson's luck is running out.

I'm not 100% it's Dusty. But I'm 100% sure it's someone other than Woody.

Sorry, just now kinda catching up on some posts….

You’re 100% sure it’s someone other than Woody after THIS season? 

[SamIam 646]

From what I can see, I think the narrative has flipped. Two games ago it was "he will be back unless it gets really bad." I would have probably put it at 70% stay/30% gone. Now I see more people wanting him gone than not, but the admin doesn't want to be forced to do it. All Woody has to do is give them an excuse, some hope to cling to and he will stay.  I think 3-2 down the stretch might even do it, but as of right now, I think the AD is starting to see the writing on the wall. There are a lot of politics that go on behind the scenes, but when you have fans openly discontent, booing, sounding off on social media, it's hard to get around. The base is toxic right now and if that continues Dolson's hands are tied imo

No just 100% sure that someone other than Woody needs to rebuild this.

The thing I don't see getting answered is if you do keep him for the next season, what do you do for recruiting the 25s? His contract runs out in 27 so you're not going to extend him. But if you are a parent of a 25 kid would you send your son to play at IU not knowing who the coach is going to be down the road?

[JF87 1,413]

I still think our remaining games are winnable.  We do have some talented players.  Maybe Woodson goes 3 and 3 down the stretch. That would put us at 17-15 and maybe in the Kenpom 90-100 range.  Would that save Woodson's job?  I doubt it would help high school recruiting, maybe we could get some portal guys that are just interested in getting paid.  I would imagine the boo birds would be out early next year if we don't play well.  It could get ugly.  I feel like we've already reached the tipping point that we need to move on from Woodson.

The challenge/issue is that the HOME games against PSU, NW and Nebraska were all winnable but we went 0-3. The ship isn’t sinking, it’s already sunk.
