There were stories at the time that Buckner got the Cooks and the Simons to commit to a large NIL bucket prop Woodson up to allow him to "prove" that he brought IU back ... and that he would then "ride off into the sunset" as the guy who did, in fact, bring IU back ... remember he was a "bridge" coach whose purpose was to unite the fan base (old and new) and restore the shine to the program ... of course, we are seeing how well that played out.

I’d take an actual woodchuck at this point 

That'd at least be entertaining

Of course quinn was behind it I just cannot believe they were dumb enough to fall for it. The uniting the base thing is laughable. He has done the opposite

He was bridge demolition so from a certain point of view he was a bridge coach.

Rich people are quite capable of spending money in stupid ways.

Does anyone think coach loses any sleep over IU men’s basketball?  He purchased a C-Pap machine with all the bling and sleeps right through it.

All he did was throw money at a bunch of highly ranked transfers. Did he even attempt to determine if they would be good fits? Not likely. Nothing was really that impressive about it given how much money he had. But the twitter cult crowded him a recruiting king.

Exactly. The real problem he has is he don’t know what system he really runs, he’s never recruited before and he doesn’t know what types of players would be good for whatever system he thinks he runs.  He just goes out and tries to recruit the highest ranked recruits he can, no matter what style they can and cannot play

I don't think they will make it but anything can happen. The question is if this was his last year why in the world did they give him 6 million?

Because he convinced them he could win using portal players and he just needs to be the highest bidder.  Basically he is proving himself wrong, lol

The only thing they propped up was his ego!  Woodson drastically let QB, the Cook’s and the Simons down.  If I were the Cook’s and the Simons, I would show MW and QB the door personally

Actually, the fanbase is pretty united at this point... united on the facts that Woodson is NOT a good coach and that he must go.

Yep they are more united than I think for any firing. Crean and Archie had more support at the end of their seasons.

His twitter cult drooled all summer about what an incredible recruiter he was. The ant Wright guy is one of the worst he was slobbering all over woodson.

Quinn will do whatever he can to save s face. When does Woodson tell guys to fake injuries so he can use that excuse Dude will never take actual personal responsibility

Davis and Ollie would coach circles around the Woodchuck.

Didn't say they wouldn't but that wasn't the point about Beard

Actually I think right now the fan base is pretty united, just not in the way they hoped for.  :)

Does Woodson pay his buddy to sit behind the bench with that Woody hat on? I'm sure the seats are paid for by the boosters but good lord who would wear that thing.

I see you can get balcony seats tonight for 2 bucks each.
Mid main level for 16. Woodson is cooking!

Unreal. I’m like a lot of folks - with football being so successful this year, just don’t have the energy to deal with this season.
