This is lame. Just rip off the bandaid and fire/retire him now. What’s the point of this? We all know he’s not actually retiring. Why the “will he or won’t he” storyline. 

This is still IU that hired Mike Davis when IU was generally still considered a top 10 program to maintain continuity.  They also self reported.  Are we really that surprised at how much IU can screw this up?  
 

From a PR perspective I heard they are scared of firing him for the optics after Archie.  Trying to make it as soft as possible to not negatively impact recruiting for the next coach, which uh….  We have been there for a minute for anyone with eyes.  Heard the PR, firing, retiring BS from 2 people I trust.

Weak from Rabby.

Atleast he worded as IU looking to move on.

As I reminded yall yesterday, on senior day he said he’d be coach as long as he wanted to be, so he has a vested interest in saving face by retiring (“retiring”)

BRAD ******** STEVENS 

Thats who we want, anyone else and we cancel the program and invest in football. Who doesn’t love a good tailgate?

Goodman says he just talked to Brad last month, and doesn't think we have a chance.

ESPN is now in on the spin

They probably should push for an immediate resignation. Woodson is petty enough to take a lot of jabs at the fan base and administration.

I just spoke with Paris hilton an she said the same thing

I know the wet dream has been BS since my Scout days, but the best we get is Beard, imo.

I assume it's Woody's people leaking to try to get ahead of the story and set the narrative?

He's also a gigantic doofus. I wouldn't tell him anything in confidence, either.

The ESPN article saying he's expected to coach the rest of the season but details of the exit are being discussed makes me think it's a leak from Woody's camp, but I am full blown conspiracy theorist mode right now.

Where’s Kathy and that 1971 fella?

Of course I believe you but was Brad supposed to say “yes I want that job that has a sitting coach?” Cmon goodman

While I believe chances are extremely  slim to non existent, why would he tell Jeff Goodman? Lol

Scott, people have crapped on the administration for years (and deservedly so). They'll keep doing it now, and they'll continue to do it when our next coach loses games and the football team inevitably has a regression year. Not sure why that gets you so worked up. 

Just seems pointless getting mad at them for not announcing something that might not have anything to announce

Lol, we are not getting Brad Stevens.  I would put my house on that.

I'll put up nothing, but I'll take your house if we do.  Deal.
