Fire Coach Woodson Thread

[Hornsby 1,640]

Yeah I've had enough of woody.  I hope to God that meeting did really take place today.
 

Yep at this point the more Woodson talks the more he rubs me the wrong way

Woody says we would be great had X stayed healthy all year.. yet I'm over hear thinking I'd rather have Josh Newkirk... Two Pitt transfers that didn't work out as planned.

Woodson putting all his eggs in the X basket was catastrophic

I said this the other day, and if it’s the right coach it won’t matter but I’d love for Indiana to keep, Walsh, Howard, Chaney in tow if possible.

Chaney may be feed up, but I’d hope he’d be willing to stay in some form or fashion.

If Woody does end up getting a 4th year, we should definitely create a GM role to help manage the portal this time around.

God I hope we land at least 3 really good guards for next year. 

Only if they take the salary out of the idiot's pay. After all he can afford it with the extra million he got last year.

The more he breaths the more he rubs me the wrong way. Even though he was a great player he is absolutely worthless as a coach and leader of this program. I hated the hire and I despise everything about him. I hope we lose out so we have some sort of a chance of getting rid of his incompetent a??!

I don't think you can force an assistant (ambassador, director, whatever) on a coach and expect him to heed any advice.  When Woodson was hired, the structure sounded promising but was a flop.

Makes you wonder what the real reason Fife was let go. I tend to believe he was much more competent that Woodson.

I am going to preemptively have a pour for our new coach, or drink a hell of a lot more if Woodson stays!  Winning either way. Cheers!

Might have to open up the Blanton's, Eagle Rare or E.H. Taylor if there is a change.

Yes Sir!  That’s great.  I have them in the cabinet as well.  Let me know which one you pick and we’ll have a virtual toast when the time is right!. Ha!

If you need to wonder whether BP is a good man or not, find the feature that was just shown on CBS News tonight about how he basically saved a kid with cancer by his inspiration and prayers.

Completely changes any negativity that could be brought up about Pearl.

That’s nonsense.  If Woodson wasn’t so damn arrogant he’d be picking Matta’s brain at all hours.  The best coaches are always learning and adapting.  Woodson being a first time college coach didn’t have the answers.  Matta did.  What a fkg waste.

That's why I'm not going to sit here and say he is a great guy blah blah blah. What makes him a great guy cause he went to iu? Bottom line is he never gets this job if he didn't go to iu. And the fact he went to iu should have no bearing on his job evaluation. To me he just seems like any other delusional coach in way over his head who is making excuses now.

Agree.  Woodson should have been told it was a condition of him getting the job that he would accept the structure put in place around him.

It's very rare for a new coach to retain current staff members. It happens, but I imagine all staff members will be removed if a change was made.

From a friend who still works at IU over an email group about IU athletics ...

I don't know how many of us belong to Peegs premium, but I've been a member for a good long time.  In today's inside edition it sounds like the body of our basketball team is being prepared for last rites. Woodson's inadequate and poorly planned recruiting and roster construction will most likely do him in at the end of this season.  Additionally his stubbornly refusing to make changes in our offensive and defensive plans has led to a number of our losses. The last straw apparently is that there were no IU coaches at any sectional games Wednesday evening - the first night of the tournament. There are a number of outstanding Indiana high school juniors and the absence of Indiana interest has not been well received. There is no predicting how many current players will return next fall meaning as many as six players from the portal.  That's no way to build a program for the long term. Morose is the best description of my feelings at this time.

Some are saying it's the best podcast ever.

But, in seriousness: I never went on one as I try to keep a low-profile and I'm still getting a lot better at secrets than I used to be. 

Mike and Bob have very good, analytical minds for basketball.

Obviously we didn't get into the "current IU coach" thing for obvious reasons: it wasn't the point of the episode. 

But, many (not myself) will have a chance to discuss this in-length as IU's season comes to an end in about 12 days' time. 

In my only other post here (FEB 16), I said all of the coaches expected to be back and so did Woodson. 

I'm always the first to admit when I'm wrong and things change... 

The guys who run this website do a good job and don't need anyone to piggy-back what they are saying, Nice work. Go Hoosiers! -Sam

Welcome, and please post a few more times to be shed of that ugly "newbie" tag ("Purdue jockstrap").

You win the internet today... this could not be more true...

Interestingly this is how Dusty May got his break. Was an assistant at Louisiana Tech when his head coach was fired. He impressed incoming coach Mike White enough that White retained him, and eventually took him to Florida too.

So if it is May, I'd assume he'd be at least somewhat open to the idea.
