Was probably not “I quit” and “you have to fire me” 

In any case not interested in litigating this. What’s done is done. He’s gone after the year. Hire a winner. 

Yeah, that's not what was said though.  But I hear you.  Time to track those flights.  :)

If he had really quit dolson should have walked him to the door. Thinking that never happened because why in the world would you want him to stay.

We have 8 regular season games and potentially a BTT game, if we are lucky enough to make it.

This thread will still be getting plenty of action.

It may just be me talking to myself for 20 pages, but it will be rolling for another month or so. Lol... half kidding...

Oh, I’m sure there will be another hundred pages of Hornsby worried that Woody is coming back.

I didn't mean you I meant others saying he is a good guy and deserves our respect. I have zero respect for him.

I bet it was more like we’re sorry things didn’t work out, but we want to give you the opportunity to go out on your terms and with no hard feelings.

Evidently there was quite the back and forth going on…

Doyle’s star article didn’t hold back on Woodson.  Anyone else read it?

Is it the usual Purdoyle IU bashing or is it a case of the worst person you know made a great point?

I was able to read it so hopefully not behind paywall for whoever try’s to read it

I do wonder though if he gets rocked tomorrow and Tuesday if he will really hang in til the end.

I was able to read it, thanks. That is about as scorched earth as I would have ever expected from Doyel. Although, it is somewhat frustrating because it obviously shows what insiders have known (and we have postulated on) about his tenure that was not being reported to prevent loss of access (my guess). Pretty wild stuff.

I’m going to once again reiterate. Mike Woodson was a dumb hire. A bad hire and never should have been entertained. If they hire another loser. Do not wait 4 years to start booing

Assuming someone in the AD leaked all that.

There is too much meat on the bone of that story IMO to have been all gathered or vetted in the last couple weeks or less. Doyel has been sitting on this information. Lots of it is almost exactly what that hysterics podcast from months ago airing the laundry more or less said or alluded to. Would not surprise me if he also knows the answers to the Matta-Fife questions as well, but is choosing to withhold. Maybe my tinfoil hat is too tight, also a possibility.

I say tomorrow is huge! We have no clue what the kids are thinking. Are they ready to compete to prove a point or do they give up? I am not convinced this retirement plan at this point will work. However stupidity and iu basketball go hand in hand so par for the course!
