I’ll be disappointed if Woody doesn’t have atleast 3 visits schedule by next Tuesday/Wednesday

as long as the visits are to retirement communities I'm good...

Never met him but my wife has. Her opinion is he is very smart and can navigate the politics of IU. Which leads me to believe he has a plan and is likely waiting until he can move on that plan. No inside scoop there just a guess. 

I’ve known Scott for years and I think he loves IU. He’s a really good guy and hopefully he’s figuring things out. I guarantee he knows how everyone feels.

I want Woodson gone because I don't think he can be successful as a college coach. If he proves that wrong by making the S16, I'd be fine with keeping him for a while longer. I doubt he makes the tournament next year but right now we don't even know who will be on the team. Maybe he'll get the overwhelming amount of experienced talent he needs to succeed.

Regardless of who Woodson is able to lure to Bloomington with NIL $$$, he still has to mold them into a team. I have zero confidence in his ability to get that done.

Someone send me Scott’s digits and I’ll give him a holler. I’d be happy to report his plan back to everyone.

So, realistically, are his hands tied by the BoT, or is he complicit in the whole "Woodson, year 4" thing? Is he done courting Pearl?

I’ve heard our coach is working so hard that he spent the weekend celebrating his birthday at one of his other houses.

I don’t know the answer to that. I’m guessing he’s weighing all of his options. Right now he’s hoping Mike hits a home run in the portal but also preparing for a fielder’s choice which is more likely.

So Atlanta, I just can’t root for this guy anymore

My (uninformed) pulse on the situation is that I don’t feel Dolson believed he had the support or resources to make a splash hire this offseason. You fire a player legend in Woodson who has made the tournament in 2/3 seasons and replace him with a flavor of the month hire (say Dusty May in this instance) who completely bombs, your legacy is tarnished forever. Not saying any of this is true or correct, just what I personally believe.

Hopefully he wanted some quiet time to write his retirement speech for the true fans.

Auburn isn’t playing anymore, I’d hire Pearl tomorrow if he would come.

Care to explain what “preparing for a fielder’s choice” means or would look like? Thx

IU needs to make sure if they have a bad season next year that they don’t have a situation like Louisville is having. Scott has got to nail down his guy and have him committed/handshake

I would love to believe that but I just can’t. I have not one ounce of optimism left for IU basketball. I’ve been duped for decades now.
 

I am 100% convinced that Indiana cannot and will not ever be a winner again. They will do everything in their power to prevent the program from reaching its potential. 

From the sounds of it, Dolson is fighting the good fight but there are far too many guardrails installed. I’d go as far as saying that if they ever accidentally hired a winner, they’d find a reason to get rid of him.

A sweet 16 run would be a great way to send Woodson into retirement. Under no circumstances should he be brought back after next year, imo. Either he stinks and gets fired, or he saves his IU legacy by doing well and then retires.

I would guess it’s coming up with a list of people you would want to talk to when we suck in the portal.
