They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[Gameface01 121]

Personal take, but screw it. I don't want someone who needs begged or coerced constantly. Give me someone who has the fire and determination that would love the opportunity. Last name starts with B also. After FIRE WOODSON of course

I love the "discussions underway about his future"....LMAO...IU gonna frick things up again. There is no discussion...He needs to be gone. My boss wanted to fire me but I said "well, I might retire ..lets just agree to keep the discussion open"...LMAO...Unbelievable...Surely Dolson does not think the fan base would be upset??? 

You need to differentiate between 'human resources speak' for an employee that has been forced to resign, versus reality.

The reality is, when someone is offered and accepts resignation to avoid termination, the employer uses 'nice words' as part of the agreement for them to go away at a time of mutual agreement. Why does the employer do this? Because the dumped employee then also agrees to keep his mouth shut and because it creates less lasting drama for the organization.

I would personally get on my hands and knees if it meant Stevens was coming lol

If the list Chris posted is correct here's how I'd rank them:

1. Stevens

2. Few

3. Pearl

 

4. May

 

I'd be absolutely floored by either of the first two. I have a hard time seeing someone leave the Celtics front office to coach college; his time away makes me think he may not be the sure thing he once was but he's shown he has a real mind for the game so he could very well figure it out.

Where would everyone rank Donovan on this list? I’m also surprised nobody has put the coach from Louisville on the list. How quickly he’s turned Louisville around is impressive

Careful....

I really don't get why some wouldn't want Few. The man can flat out coach basketball. Sure, he's not a sexy hire but damn, the guy is one hell of a coach. Give him our NIL and we're in business pretty quick. 

I'd absolutely love it.

Reports of a black helicopter circling the Zionsville airport just now.  Crazy...is that you in there?

I mean... why wouldn't that be a "sexy" hire? I'm with you, but I would call that a power play. Also.. he's pretty well maxed out Gonzaga's capabilities.

Purely based on his personality. He's the complete opposite of Pearl and Beard which is what I gather a lot of folks are  looking for. I want a winner. That's all I care about.

Osterman Was just on 107.5.  
 

Most of what he said was worthless, but at the very end, I think he seemed to make it very clear that Woody is not wanting to go quietly   

We figured that much. With the ego he seems to have the only way he was going quietly is if it was fully his decision.

He doesn't pull all the way up into the space. He leaves at least 6 feet in front of the curb. I assume that is because its easier for him to get out of the car if he isn't right next to another car.

He’s Mr Magoo. Haven’t you seen the glasses?

NBA coaching is a way better lifestyle. I personally don’t see Donovan leaving.  
 

Stevens didn’t leave college coaching bc he hated coaching.  Now with Indiana NIL, the timing is perfect for him and he checks every known box … hence why he’s by far and away the #1 candidate

Do not let this man coach another game in Assembly Hall, Scott.

I had a dream when Woodson walked out to the floor tomorrow the band played Queen,another one bites the dust

I think most would want him … only after brad says no.

My kid has a game tomorrow so I will miss the game. But I am certainly taping it. I want to watch our defiant king try and stick it to all of us

Splitting hairs here, but it's easy to play devil's advocate with Few:

1.) He's older. I know that was ok with Cig, but that limits the time he'd be here and you do wonder about energy levels at a new job. 

2.) He's a very introverted guy. IU had that with Miller and it was a problem. That really laid back personality might work much better at a smaller smaller school in a much smaller conference. 

3.) He has gotten to a lot of Sweet 16s, the question is how much of a that is from building a great record in a less stellar conference? Gonzaga has gotten a lot of really high seeds from good records in a less difficult conference. High seeds make that first weekend of the tournament a lot easier. 

4.) There was that DUI.

5.) Did losing Lloyd as his lead recruiter hurt his recruiting? Wasnt he Few's pipeline to Euros that had created so much of his success? Will he still experience the same level of success w/o them? 

Just throwing that all out there...

I heard for years few would never come here. What changed?

I can't imagine, on any realistic list, he wouldn't be in the Top 3-5 candidates, even if some of these points are valid. 

1-3 are more than arguable 

4 ... if he allows that to happen again he's a f'ing moron. Been there, done that, easily avoidable.

Taping it? Are you sure the VCR is set correctly? Is it a new tape? Make sure it's not labeled "wedding" or anything...

Just trying to help ya out!
