[Kentuckysucks 4,332]

Ok he’s getting fired.  Probably not during the season but he’s gone.

His window to save the season and have a chance to keep his job is getting pretty small.

None of hia assistants are any good. I don't see any of them going on a run. They are all recruiters.

Recruiters? They can't even do that

I understand the poster's point of view.  

Personally, I can never ever celebrate Indiana loosing.   But I support getting rid of the current coaches.

 I just cannot fathom bad defense in the conference games.  I just cannot fathom lack of movement being allowed on offense.  I just cannot abide with a coach that doesn't maximize matchups.

I believe, whether IU wins or loses, gets in a post-season NCAAT or not, Coach Woody is gone.

Have the prospective HC in the wings.

Just lose the head coach.  Renegotiate his exit payout.  Sign it.  Bye.

Welcome to the new HC.  Celebrate that.  

Inevitable...within months.  

Yea, there are some differing views on what it will take for IUBB to get rid of the current coaches.  I'm so focused on getting Woody out I'd rather endure some sort term losses to guarantee it, but I get fans that prefer cheering for IU.

Regardless, I am optimistic Scott can get this next hire right, and also get our org chart fixed with the new coach reporting to Scott and Pam with the donors/trustees staying more in the background like they should.  Basically, the Cignetti model, aka Organization Management 101.  Cig constantly mentions two people -- Pam and Scott.  It's beautiful.

Hopefully next season the whole fanbase can just focus on the basketball again.

What's depressing is I've heard from some AAU/high school coaches that the assistants actually bust their butts recruiting and do a pretty good job. However, the head coach and recruitment closer is very bad and wastes a lot of their hard work.

Woodson didn't seem to be coaching nearly as hard as he was against Ohio State...

Old habits are hard to break.  We all knew he would go back to his old self, same for the players.

Post game presser Bako looked hype.  

@Hovadipo  Mr. IT how do you get your own photos post not sideways?

That's because of Woodson. Not the assistants. The assistants have put them in a good spot to land guys and the "closer" Mike Woodson has screwed it up.

Will this make Woodson 0-Fer in his career against NW?

Yes and that alone should be a fireable offense but long live the king.

What a night, I’ve been busy with my own basketball stuff. Great WIN for the tank train tonight folks! We are back to normal speeds with our destination getting clearer by the day! 

 

FIRE MIKE WOODSON!

....this Sunday could be brutal for Woodson. The fans are seething and at an uprest over this year. The fans are getting louder and more vocal with each loss/poor performance.

That elementary looking sign probably took those kids longer to make then Woodson prepares for a freaking game.

Pretty certain Fornelli is just making fun of IU fans for having Stevens as their white whale. 

Fornelli probably didn’t realize his dad went to IU.

....because he thinks if Coach Knight did it this way, he should be able too. "...besides, he coached me!" lol 

[Juwan Moye 1,315]

Does Dolson risk an ugly scene on Sunday? I’m guessing yes because our admin has zero balls.

 

That said, I think we match up well with Maryland so who knows.

I will be shocked if we don't hear something soon. We are getting clowned on road games on TV with the fire hire extend woodson stuff. I am sure the turds at wacky have taken notice and next Friday may be a very sad day for iu if something isn't done. That's if this Sunday isn't a disaster. What a mess they put us in.
Fire everyone involved!

The irony being most people attributed Knight’s late 90s swoon on spending too much time hunting and fishing and delegating recruiting to assistants.

Just checked out ticket prices for Sunday and now I’m torn between getting my family McDonald’s for dinner or going to an IU game. Would save a few bucks going to the game..

....my point exactly. Early on, in the 70's and 80's, Coach Knight didn't really have to go out and pound the recruiting trail all the time. Kids just wanted to play for him.

I’ll be shocked if we do. Going 1-1 on a B1G road swing is pretty par for the course. In a week where Painter lost at home to OSU and May lost to Minny, I’m sure Woodys supporters are convinced and selling the idea that we are back on track. 
 

It’ll take a bad loss to Maryland to get people fired back up again. Either way, IU isn’t the type of place to make a bold midseason move. When they moved on Davis it had already been about two seasons of the rank and file being fed up with him. And he still coached the rest of the season.
