Soon to RETIRE Coach Woodson Thread

[Hornsby 2,821]

You my friend are giving him too much credit, it was less than 20% of the job, IMO. 

But he 100% expected to be back I think. He really thought he was untouchable.

I agree with you on that.  Delusional fits him!  He got treated the exact same way he treated Fife and Matta.  What comes around goes around.

Remember that guy who told the mods that there was no reason for this thread to exist anymore and thus shut it down?   Telepathically giving you the bird buddy.  (-;

The way Raftery and Spiro were talking about Woody, you could just about tell it was forced on him.  Scott May, Downing, and company showing up to practice to support.  Talking about how hard it was on Woody.  That doesn’t seem like the vibe when someone retires voluntarily.  Or maybe it’s a health issue, but then he doesn’t want to talk about the retirement, like he doesn’t know what to say or can’t say.

The wagons were certainly circled... actually it was a pretty pathetic effort, and 100% transparent.

Read the Doyel article. He was forced out.

I think we all know that - but the spin is overbearing... and insulting...

Kind of a kick in the nuts that Izzo is going to curb stomp Indiana and at the same time surpass Bob Knight for most Big 10 wins...

To me, it was just the university firing a basketball legend a nice way.  Being forced out means you were actually fired.  What kills me is in his own delusional mind, he thinks he was doing a good job. 

He was a legend at a player 45 years ago... but a crappy coach for the past 4 years... what have you done for us lately, Magic Mike, besides crap your pants?

Yes it does. Not sure what he thinks he is proving by staying all year. If he thought he was going to go on a I will prove them wrong run today was a must win for him. He is going to get rocked on Tuesday by 25.

I remember when he was 4-1 and if we dare questioned it was against awful competition some thought we were nuts. Well he is 1-7 since. Maybe some of us do know something.

I have to imagine the players had a role in why he is still on the sideline. I imagine if they made it known they wouldn't be happy if woodson was gone then dolson would have to do exactly what they are doing. Regardless this is ugly and woodson should be fired immediately.

Are you suggesting that the inmates are actually running the asylum?

I'm also more than a little interested in how much Buckner, Ferguson et al had to pay Rafferty and Spero for that syrupy slobberfest?

[hoosierbannerd 2,134]

Welp I guess Pearl is off the list now...

You don't let players make that decision.

The Raftery Dedes gushing was fake syrupy pathetic. It was like they were reminiscing about a sick Jimmy V.

Almost everything they said was the opposite of the truth.

I actually LOLed when they talked about Woodson drawing up a great OOB play for them after a TO.

Also interesting is that they said MW told them some things they would not repeat. I think he was crying to the announcers about being fired before the game.

I know.  I think the university crap their pants on this one too.  They handled it with kid gloves but MW spit in their faces.  They should have just ripped the bandaid off, and sh*tcan him 2-3 weeks ago.  Heck, maybe they should have done it after the Bahamas.  The heck with his feelings, he obviously doesn’t care about the university, only himself

No don't let them make the decision. Imagine though if you have a meeting with them and several say if he is forced out were done. Now you have a even bigger mess. I bet if they all said OK good riddance then that would make it easier

He obviously thinks it is successful just barely getting into the tournament and it would keep him employed, lol

Yeah, that was classic passive-aggressive on MW's part...

Upside of losing today is it keeps making Woody look terrible.  I’m so sick of him.  The more losses the worse he and his cronies look.

There'd have been no argument from me...
