They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[IUFAN1976 4,320]

I went into TheDailyHoosier and to my surprise, I see this article:

It put a giant smile on my face because now these websites that primarily support IU basketball are finally seeing the writing on the wall!!!

Because he was serving a 2 year show-cause and sat out part of his first season. He won't be there after this season. McNeese State is 46-9 since Will Wade was hired...they had two winning seasons in the 20 years prior.

So your best candidate is someone coming off a 2 year show-cause?  You take him then because no other major wants him.

There is a reason that Chris Beard's transgressions only dropped him a lower power 5 team and Will Wade's dropped him into a low major

Will Wade wasn't eligible to coach right away. A P4 school wasn't going to hire somebody who wasn't eligible to be on the sideline. McNeese St could afford to do that....because it's McNeese State. Will Wade will be coaching at a high major school next year, one that is better than Ole Miss.

The fact that Dolson identified Fitzgerald as his first target at least gives me some hope. His alleged transgressions are way worse than anything Wade has been guilty of. 

You know that for a fact or you're taking the word of "self-important insiders"? LOL

Williams didn't have Crean's peak at Marquette, but aside from that one year his tournament success was better overall than Crean's.

Crean had the FF and never got past the 2nd round, Williams went to the Elite 8 and Sweet 16 two times prior.

Have to remember that Williams team did worse against the Syracuse zone than Crean did

Thank the lord that Scott Dolson and Pam Whitten would not, under any circumstances, EVER consider Will Wade.

As far as running a CBB program without issues, to me Beard > Wade but they both have major skeletons in their closet.

His show-cause ended two years ago. He's 46-9 since at a school whose had two winning seasons in the last 20 years.

O/U 2.5 seasons for Brownell here?

Kelvin Sampson > Wade and majority don’t want him back either

Kelvin Sampson recruited drug dealers and gangsters while coaching here. That's the biggest reason.

Powerless in todays world.

Will Wade would absolutely kill it at IU in this climate. Thick-skinned, doesn't give a s*** what people think, flat-out winner. But yeah let's hire Brad Brownell because he's a pro's pro whose never won anything. If Brad Brownell was from across the river in Henderson KY instead of Evansville he'd be an after thought. 

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^I just want to make sure that you know that this guy is Will Wade.

^^^^^^^^^This guy is Wade Wilson.

I feel like there may be some confusion based on your glorification of your client.

Yeah because that Cuse team was good.  
 
Williams also beat Cuse that year during the regular season.  And lost in the Elite 8.  You would think that Cuse team was trash the way some talk about it.   That Zone was a top 5 defense that year

Over. We give coaches four years apparently.

But me saying that Brownell would be a better choice than Wade because Brownell is a pro and not a smug, strong-@$$, bribe paying, 'bribe to fiancée of bribed player to cover up bribe', show cause scumbag?

Brownell is nowhere near my first choice, but I'm very comfortable saying that he's a better choice than the guy that's currently banished to McNeese State.

Archie and Woodson were trash and they got 4 so I’m guessing gamblers out there would say take the over

It was a joke because everybody always brings that up about Crean. I never said Syracuse was garbage and they were a top 10 team for most of the season

Four hours to the king.
Mental health check!! Good to go.

I'm talking about until we get the Fire Brad Brownell Thread started. Should have clarified. I would take the under on that easy. 

But yeah, if we're only interested in winning the press conference and not hiring the best basketball coach you'll likely get your wish. 

We aren't called Revolving Door U for no reason.
