They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[Hoosierfanyuh 7,037]

Since we’ve waited this long I’d prefer for it to be after the Michigan game anyways, I’m just being dumb. Haha

(which is also after the nba trade deadline)

My son goes to the University of Florida. Last Friday night he was glued to his laptop watching IU play hard but lose at Mackey. *Then he went out - he's not a total loser ya know*

If IU got Stevens, a different white whale, or for that matter got a great mid-major coach that turned the program around, he'd be jumping out of his skin with excitement.

 

Both sons are UF grads. Todd Golden has really turned that program around. It was funny to watch them spank UGA by 30 points after they inexplicably "stole" Mike White away a few years back.

Going to my first UF bball game on the 15th. I expect a sanitized crowd that is more concerned with Billy Napier, and a complete squishing of South Carolina.

2)If you don't understand, IU's only White Whale is Brad Stevens. The term refers to an objective/person that is obsessively pursued but unlikely to catch.

We had 600 pages devoted to Bruce Pearl last year who was also never going to coach at IU.

IU can absolutely become a good program again and a decent one at that quick. But it's not going to happen in a 1-2 year span. You're not ever going to erase a 30 year down period overnight. And with each lost season and each passing coach the desperation grows bigger and bigger every single year.

You're right! They've been bad almost as long as the football program, and... Oh, wait.

So if you look at highest paid college coaches in 24, unless they have the facts wrong, mike Woodson is #13 highest paid college coach on that list. I don't know what it shows after bonuses etc.

We know it shows that Woodson is WAAYYY overpaid. 13th highest paid, IU is getting robbed blind.

Yep. So if IU was to pay a coach 10 million a year, unless bill self got a huge raise in between march 24 and now, that would make the IU coach the highest paid in college basketball. 

Other coaches may get less but that seems like top ten job money

That $1M raise he got in August 2023 drives me crazy.  He had not outperformed in any way that deserved a raise, and after getting the raise he completely fell apart.
