They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[Hornsby]

This entire thing makes me nauseous 

Quinn may make him leave but the buyout check will be massive.

We know the buyout, it's the remainder of his contract, which is about $8.4M.  We only have to pay $1M per year until it's paid off, so it's not a big cash flow hit in any one year.

The King can't leave we need his golf tourney.

I remember when Davis was fired that Herbert insisted we pay him more than we were required to.  Has anyone school ever paid a coach they were firing more than the contract required?  I thought UK actually stiffed BillyG because the moron forgot to sign his contract.

But he’s a better coach than Woodson but I think it’s more the lack of game preparation from us!

Yup, Pikiell will look down towards the IU bench and say, "I was worried about trying to win in hallowed Assembly Hall, then when I saw Mike Woodson was the coach; I was no longer worried"...

He’s going to need a lengthy midday nap if he’s scheduled to speak at 9:00pm.

That's not opinion that's fact. Knight was beyond top tier as a coach. He knew ball like no other. As I have stated before, Piss Poor Planning Provides Piss Poor Performance. Knight knew that, Woody somehow didn't pick up on it or anything else from Knight and doesn't have a clue.

That’s a great bold face lie and we know it

That’s a bold statement and is very much the truth

I don’t remember that but it sounds like something IU would do. I can see something similar happening with Woody.

Yep we already don’t fire them when they should be fired because that would be mean.  Might as well pay them extra

Quinn will certainly pay Woodson more than owed

He’s going away a Billionaire!!!

While Woodson is a disaster the one thing I think we need to realize is neither Thad Matta or Dane Fife being here still would change anything. For everyone who thinks those guys leaving spelled doom we need to face the facts that they were not solutions and their presence on the staff made zero difference.

Game has clearly passed Matta by and his hiring at Butler was same sentimental thing IU did and his tenure there has gone about as badly as Woodson's. Bulldogs working on seven year NCAA drought after two bad hires in a row with Jordan and Matta. They have become irrelevant locally. Tonight they were leading by 14 with 5 minutes left before a very mediocre Villanova squad scored final 22 points at Hinkle Fieldhouse for win. This sounds really familiar to Indiana's issues. Matta was a great coach in his day but end of OSU tenure was poor and he has been worse at Butler and don't think his knowledge in today's game was any great help to Woodson.

As for Fife, he blasted NIL and talked politics at work and I know for a fact those reports were 100% true. While his heart is in the right place, his philosophy does not match today's college basketball and there is a reason no one has hired him since.

To anyone who thinks Woodson letting these guys leave was a problem, that is just not the case. This basketball program has major issues that are the same with or without them and those who think them being around changes things are severely misguided.

Saw on the other site that there’s been some new rumor/talk that Dusty May is Dolson’s #1 guy and that’s it’s not even close.

Agree Matta or Fife on Woodson's staff wouldn't matter much. Disagree with your characterization of Matta at Butler. They aren't great, but he's improved them from the end of Jordan's tenure. Butler was probably better than IU last year despite a vast difference in the resources available.

Butler is just kind of screwed in the NIL era. Both guys from their starting backcourt last season left in the portal for more money. When programs like Dayton and Washington can poach your players, it's going to be very hard to build anything.

An epic fail!  It’s because he didn’t try!
