Nope... the Buckner-Dolson express is still rolling...

How in the world did he see this team and think we didn’t need to use the last scholarship? Xavier is erratic and often injured. Trey would be a solid role player on a good team but isn’t a guy who should be playing 33 mpg. And that’s the backcourt Woody decided to roll with. 

Shows how bad the staff is. Galloway had 1 good shooting year. Johnson can win you the game or be so bad you'd think he's a double agent, you don't know which you'll get minute to minute much less game to game.

Woodson was a great player here, but not a good coach. Hiring him was always going to have a messy end unless he retired on his own. 

And sorry, keeping him isn't a good idea just because we didn't fire Miller when we should have.

Kentucky would’ve fired Archie when he lost 12 games during a 13 game span in conference play. But we’re IU, we’re better than that, so we kept him another two years. And since we kept him four years we have to keep Woodson at least four years too. Probably should do 5 years just to be safe.

Lol no. It's Indiana, bad coaches have to have enough time to really make a mess of things.

After they suck next year, maybe. If the powers that be are willing to take the black eye of firing a guy a program legend.

That sounds like the entire team.  Johnson is the box of chocolates in Forest Gump

Say we lose 6 of the last 7. What then? Do you REALLY think we continue to role with Woody? Surely not, right?

He will win just enough not to be fired.

You must be new. Literally the only chance Woodson isn't back is if he decides to retire.

This is Indiana, we don't fire bad coaches when we should.

I think my biggest concern is if Woodson is back next year is if I will be tough enough to survive watching another season. It truly scares the he'll out of me!

At Kentucky he may not have made it through that 12 game span before the fans ran him out of town.

May need to give Woodson longer. Don't want the optics of being a bunch of big meanies that keep firing the crappy coaches we keep hiring.

Complete and utter embarrassment! Woody needs to do the right thing and step down gracefully - leave w/some dignity and good will. He’s brought in around $15M in 3 yrs…that seems pretty fair to me. The train is off the rails. Beyond terrible results, the system looks dysfunctional on both offense and defense. Not going to get many high level kids signing up for that. The time for change is now.

Really? You really think we could lose 7-8 and not make a change?

Woodson has no attention of leaving after his year

This is Indiana and Woodson is a program legend. Yes, I absolutely think that. The decision makers have shown just how deeply unserious they are about this program.

So, not only a bad coach, he's delusional...

This year has been so embarrassing he should pay some of that back.
