They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[Class of '66 Old Fart 87,018]

It would have been an unnecessary distraction for Woody to show up.

Unfortunately, I like him less every day.

I don’t think that is possible for me. Can’t like him less. He’s just a selfish, egotistical baby.

It is if they already knew that they were returning, which they obviously knew since they announced it.

Remember also on the Friday before - two days prior to senior day - Woodson told the media he had no idea whether either of them was doing senior day. So we’re supposed to believe that in the span of 48 hours they not only decided they were going to stay, but decided to go through with being on senior day and in their speeches allude to the fact that we “needed to chill”?

if you believe all of that, I’ve got a bridge in San Francisco I’d love to sell you . . .

Yep. What he said!

 

And don’t forget the part about the big bumps in their NIL.

If you want to believe Woodson used Leal and Galloway as pawns in some elaborate “gotcha” moment to piss off the fan base at the conclusion of a shitty season, more power to you, that’s your prerogative. I think you’re giving him way too much credit.

Was it meant to deliberately piss off the fans? I don’t know - just as much as you can’t say it wasn’t pre-arranged.

For all of Leal’s contributions - or lack thereof - this year, he is returning to the tune of $225k. Hell, I’d tell people to “chill” if I got to be a benchwarmer for that kind of jack.

Seems like someone is missing…I’m sure he’s too busy recruiting.

Does he need a new caddy?

Again, you’re giving Woodson way too much credit. He’s way too tone deaf to actually calculate or coordinate something like that. I believe one of two things happened:

1) Woodson was coy with reporters not wanting to steal Leal or Galloway’s thunder knowing they still had a year of eligibility left

2) We’re in an era where college kids do college things, sadly meaning making spectacles of nonsensical events…like college athletes making elaborate announcements that they’re returning to school.

Either way, I don’t think it’s that deep.

If Woody had graced the game with his presence how many of you would have been posting that he was there only because he was told to be there?

Or that he should be out recruiting ;)

Well after all you heard, do you think he really deserves the benefit of the doubt?

Don’t say bad things about Mike Woodson. He probably has a very valid and very important reason for not being there. Portal stuff probably.

Oh, great. Our football coach is just relaxing and taking time off to go to games during spring practices instead of being in the office. Unlike our hard working basketball coach who is so dedicated to winning that he couldn't show up because he's probably watching film on portal players or recruiting (definitely NOT vacationing for his birthday). Looks like the football team will be bad again because the coach doesn't want to work.

Sure that’s possible maybe even probable. But in his absence we’re doing the same thing. Only this wreaks of divisiveness whereas if he’d shown up naysayers could only speculate about his motives.

Dolly should be kicking Woody’s pointless extension money to Coach Terry…sweet sixteen  3 out of 4 years.

I didn’t expect you too.

Thankfully, he took any doubt out of whether him showing up would have been out of support for the women's team or mandated.

Nobody tells Mike Woodson what to do. He did his job.

[BleedCubbieBlue 1,579]

So when Woodson said, “We've just got a lot of work to do this summer to get better. I don't want to sit here this time next year and not be playing in the tournament.” He was actually talking about some golf tournament he wants to play in next year.
