What are the odds that he will put in a 3 big lineup (Ballo, Hatton, and Reneau)  at one point in a game here soon?  I say they are about 80% chance it happens just because he can.

Screw it. What's the tallest lineup he can roll out? 

Reneau, Ballo, Hatton, James and Goode, maybe? 

There. You. Go.

What are things that didn't happen.  If that has any truth to it at all, Dolson says "cool, you need a few boxes to clean out your office?"  Helps him pack his truck, and then appoints and interim HC and drafts a statement.  

A student joined a twitter space with the Hysterics and claimed a student manager told them that happened. 

I don't think it would be as simple as you make it sound. At least we can count down until he is gone now.

I would guess if she does come on, she'll say that Woody retired, so he didn't really get "fired during the season." 

So the process was still followed. LOL

She can try to spin it that way, but it's not what she said. She said the real discussions about his future wouldn't happen until after the season ended. If I was in any way right about her, I think she will come on and eat some crow.

Arrived home at 4 and I now finally caught up. Yaaaaaay. I wish he was gone though. I wonder how many cheap shots he’ll dish out.

Mabe she will say he choose to step down because of us mean fans and pur unrealistic expectations for a six million dollar roster.

I have been developing a proprietary bull$hit to English translator for a large AI company that many of you would know (no, it is not the one owned by my former employer and current nemesis). The large language model was based on open source protocols and trained almost exclusively from this website, based largely on posts from AH1971 and KathywithaC, and the reactions to those posts. I was also able to scrape data from NGW prior to his Death Star implosion and account deletion. (I have been training this model for more than a year). The model was also trained on Tyme’s tweets and the reactions to them. I am going run Dolson’s statement through my model and I will share the results with you later.

I don’t think he can. Pretty sure we negotiated that too.

That should have been in the original employment agreement... but water wine under the bridge at this point.

I do wonder how much the next Senior Day event will cost him, though... sometimes he just can't help himself. :D

I would hope so.  If we had to put out that ego-saving statement for him, Woodson better have a zero tolerance policy on running his mouth. He’s harmed this program enough!

I see Chris Beard or Mark Few are not on this list. Does this mean anything? Or is he just throwing names out there just because.

Beard is -- way, way, way down at the bottom. 

These dudes putting out these lists need to exercise a little self-control. Osterman lists 21 coaches -- that's just too many. 

Need to keep it at 10 or fewer to keep readers' interest, IMO. 

"The Daily Hoosier" had 32 candidates. Oy-vey!

My bull$hit to English translator is telling me the same thing. Translation in bold. 
 

At an appropriate time, Coach Woodson will articulate his feelings about his decision and his experiences these last four years.

Mike is butthurt that he got canned and wanted to try and put us on blast but we forced that crybaby to sign an NDA so he can’t spew his bull$hit. We anticipate he will write an OJ style book in the future called “If I Did It (Got Over The Hump)”.

People aren't suddenly going to become Woodson rah rah guys because of the puff piece. They may play a little harder tomorrow but I'm guessing he gets rocked by 20 on tuesday

What i am kind of alluding to is if tomorrow isnt going swell I am not sure the fans just chill. I think that is their hope. They are stupid imo. This entire retirement plan should have happened over the Christmas break when we were scraping by the cupcakes. A simple my health doesn't allow me to put the energy into this as it demands and moved on. Everyone could see we were in trouble. Now it's far worse and he will still be on the sideline. I think they believe the fanbase will rally around them now. I am not confident that will be the case. Woodson and his senior night comments and his inability to do this job is what fans are mad about. So how exactly does this fix that

Yeah I mean the list did seem like he's just throwing names out there for interest. So often the actual coach that gets hired is never actually on these first lists of potential hires.

One thing I do notice with all the coaching hot boards is that none of them think it'll get down to the mid major level. They all think it'll come from a coach currently at the P4 level.

I think that’s because of the money we have to spend and our NIL money.

Do I have to leave this thread? It feels like it’s part of my family. Has everyone moved over to the candidate thread?

I keep seeing from his Kool aid crew we owe him respect. Why? What did he do to earn our respect? And playing here 45 years ago doesn't count. It's clear to me the narrative in this pr statement is to be a rally around Woodson moment. No he still is the same guy he was yesterday.
