[hoosiersoxfan 694]

Can't go worse than last time we had an interim coach and players were throwing potted plants

Serious question - Have teams ever brought someone in from the outside to be interim coach for a mid-season firing? If so, I've missed it. I always seen them give the position to an assistant coach. 

Don't Kenya Hunter and Yasir Rosemond both have the title of Associate Head Coach? I would think one of those two would be the default choice for interim HC.

I hear Jeff Saturday is available.

Different sport, but Colts brought in Jeff Saturday and it went exactly how you'd expect. IU isn't going to do that though. That's why I believe Woodson will coach through the remainder of the season with an announcement that he is stepping down at the end. Before yesterday I believed that announcement was going to come near the end of the year, possibly before the last game. Now, I think it could come here in the next week or two, possibly before they play in Assembly Hall again.

Let them have every other game and share the responsibilties 

Honestly who cares at this point. Have the captains be player-coaches for the last 12 or so games of the year, lol

I don't give a rat's arsz about who is the interim coach.  I just want Woody gone.

Well, I'm hoping that the tomato will be chopped soon, as wondering if it would be is getting tedious.

I fully understand how some people feel towards Scott Dolson throughout this mess but IMO he's been tiptoeing through a minefield.  I truly believe he wanted to make the change last year but QB and the big $$ came to Woody's rescue.  Like it or not, Dolson can't just flip off those big $ donors and thus we got another year.  Ferguson and the others aren't stupid.  They can see their money that Woody used to buy a team might as well have been flushed down a toilet.  They know the animosity Woody has created among the fan base.  Unless the current governor makes a gigantic mistake and reappoints QB to the BOT, his influence is gone.  The hiring of Coach Cig and his immediate success have also bought Dolson political capital to bring this disaster to an end.  This nightmare is over.

What would be the perfect solution is if these 2 guys could magically do their thing with the entire IU fanbase.

I didn't believe that last year and wanted Dolson fired (I even started the thread lol). Now I've come around to believe that he might have actually wanted Woodson gone last year but was blocked. Remember that the AD's office never made any official statement of Woodson's return or even a statement of support. There was radio silence from the office. The only thing we got was a "leak" to the media that Woodson would be back.

That could be viewed two ways: 1) the AD/university don't care about basketball or 2) the AD didn't support Woodson getting another year. I'm going with #2.

This year is such a disaster that I don't think a lame duck Buckner has the power or credibility to keep Woodson longer. 

With 2 years left on the contract, it's extend or let go time. Woodson definitely hasn't earned the extension.

So quinn and ferguson are going to let their good buddy remain and go into West Lafayette and Madison and get the snot kicked out of his team. What good friends they are!

She is getting reprogramming at the moment to be up to date on the new style smoke and ultra sensitive mirrors needed for this but she will be along shortly.

Probably not but someone posted earlier in this thread said that none the assistants were interested, I don’t remember who posted it but I know Crean is available and he acts like he would love to get back into coaching.  I know his system and whatever MW thinks he runs aren’t the same and hiring him is probably not realistic.  But I do know this team has talent and these players just need to be coached and motivated and if a guy like Crean can keep it simple and motivate them, he compete and possibly go on a run.  If they decide to fire MW now, it still be someone internal.

I need an update on the February action items!  Is Mike Woodson even on the AD's radar?  That picture of Scott behind the bench suggest he may be thinking about Woody.  Where are we in the stakeholders' deliberate process?

Letting him step down is letting off the hook.  He needs to be dragged through the mud like he has done to everyone else!

She is with quinn dealing with the process. They are trying to figure out how much to offer wittman to take over next year. Rumor has it Simon Scott is ready to give him 26 million in NIL. They realized the issue is Woodson simply does not have enough nil

Hate to break it to fans who don’t know IU very well and are having a visceral reaction because of that, but there is no ground swell to remove Mike Woodson. This is not a culture prone to making knee jerk decisions based on the whims of fans, who frankly don’t have the first clue what goes into this process. 

There, I saved everyone some time waiting for Kathy to return. Lol

[Hornsby 3,870]

Kentucky would fire Woodson in two seconds right now because they want to win. At iu the follow people sit in a room to discuss optics and a process.

Cathy
Quinn
Ferguson
May
Isiah
Wittman
