They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[Hovadipo 58,378]

Laughing out loud at the thought of Painter avenging the football team. I love me some fanfic. But the thought of Indiana Football beating Purdue so badly that that thought has even occurred to people has me out of my chair.

God bless Curt Cignetti.

Yes.  Absolutely.  The Woodson effect is real.

Nah, it’s gonna be a beating more likely than not, but I’ll be pretty shocked if Painter has Smith or TKR on the floor with 3 mins left in a 25pt game. One of those guys rolls an ankle or breaks a finger and their season goes sideways. Dude’s not risking his season to avenge the memory of Ryan Walters.

No saying it changes his game time coaching so much, but I bet the players were reminded of football beat down a few times this week to get them even more frothed up than usual for an IU/PU matchup.

I would not want any of those guys except maybe cupps. It's time to start fresh.

You should always be afraid of a late tourney run in the conference tournaments.  Case last year with Kevin Keatts.  Was going to be fired then they got hot during the conference tourney and made a final four run.  Now they have another losing record and will most likely miss the tourney again.  

Won't have to worry about it if we don't make it (unlikely but still).

Do I think he is a great player. No. But he plays hard and could play a limited role of the bench. The rest of those guys were overpaid by Woodson and have been coached by him all year. At least cupps is out and not being ruined this year. He also won't cost 750k

Man, could we just get one solid leak to confirm the light at the end of the tunnel? I am a first time season ticket holder and I was exuberant at the fact that I would be able to experience my first Purdon't game in person. Now I find myself questioning even going to the UCLA game with my wife for Valentines, because my son has to shoot at an archery tournament at 8am the next morning, is it worth it to barely get any sleep with the 1.5 hr trip home after the game and the 1.5 hr trip to the archery tournament. I have missed 4 home games this season, couldn't make it do to work (2 times) and a family events for the other 2. This is the first year, I officially don't have hope that the team can turn things around.

I agree with your last sentence 100% … It would be very interesting to see this same exact roster with a different coach that moved last offseason. Dusty May of course comes to mind but so do Kelsey and Pope. I think all would do much better with this roster than Woody. For May and Kelsey, it’s interesting because this roster probably has a good bit more talent than their current ones. Basketball wise, Woodson manages to bring out the worst in everyone around him, it seems.

We need to hear from Cathy. I want to hear how the process is going!!!

I had my fill of having to watch Cupps last year. To each their own

Why did your jaw drop when reading other BT coaches would do anything for IU to keep Woodson?  It wouldn’t surprise me if the other 17 schools offered to pay Woodys salary and give him a raise to stay.

My jaw would have dropped if other BT coaches wanted Woody to leave because they thought he was a great coach that got everything out of his players.  Now that would be shocking/jaw dropping.

I’m just shocked it’s come to that!  But here we are and Dolson tried to do something last year

I'd say that no player should ever have to tell the coach to go shake hands. The coach should do that just for being a decent human being - sportsmanship and all... but I guess there's room for a discussion about that, as well.

I would go if I had season tickets and was looking forward to it before the season started. There is no hope of turning this season around. The ucla game will probably be close. Possibly.

He was playing but it wasn't going well.  He's not a three point shooter and while he has a good mid range game, you can not simply be a mid range shooter in today's game and succeed.

Another case of woodsons poor eye for talent. He just saw a guy highly ranked and threw a bunch of money at him. Major downgrade from McNeeley

Break out the petitions and start up the telethon, he must be fired now.  Noone deserves for their entire fan experience to be Woody ball.  That's cruel and unusual punishment.

I kinda looked into this idea.

At least per their website, the Herald-Times charges $662 for a full page ad. I’d be willing to pony up some cash if someone here with good writing skills ( not Scotty R) would want to write a petition to Dolson and the board.

I too want a fresh start. I don't like how Woodson kept too many Archie coaches/support staff and players around. Not saying all 13 players have to go, but it's not a bad thing if only a few guys come back. I honestly set the over/under at 2.5 players returning with a new staff.

Sorry, but that's baloney.  It isn't 'no player should ever tell the coach to go shake hands', it's 'no player SHOULD HAVE TO tell the coach to go shake hands'.  Dakich is just showing his own bias because he doesn't like Goode.

The problem isn't the inmates running the asylum.  The problem is that the inmates HAVE TO run the asylum because the wardon won't.

That I definitely see!  But in the end, the inmates are running the asylum and that’s on Woodson because he won’t!  I see your point

[Hornsby 2,891]

Some of you want guys like tucker and Carlyle back. But the fact is that are vastly overpaid and I'm sure a new coach isn't going to pay them what Woodson did. Are they willing to take a big paycut?

My guess would be no, however, is their lack of contribution due to lack of talent or lack of a HC/Staff? Take Bates for an example, 2 years removed he is the leading scorer on his SEC team. Or maybe  CJ or Banks playing well for their teams. We have a systematic problem here that starts and stops with MW.
