Goodman says he just talked to Brad last month, and doesn't think we have a chance.

He's also a gigantic doofus. I wouldn't tell him anything in confidence, either.

They probably should probably push for an immediate resignation. Woodson is petty enough to take a lot of jabs at the fan base and administration. 

The ESPN article saying he's expected to coach the rest of the season but details of the exit are being discussed makes me think it's a leak from Woody's camp, but I am full blown conspiracy theorist mode right now.

Where’s Kathy and that 1971 fella?

Of course I believe you but was Brad supposed to say “yes I want that job that has a sitting coach?” Cmon goodman

While I believe chances are extremely  slim to non existent, why would he tell Jeff Goodman? Lol

Scott, people have crapped on the administration for years (and deservedly so). They'll keep doing it now, and they'll continue to do it when our next coach loses games and the football team inevitably has a regression year. Not sure why that gets you so worked up. 

Just seems pointless getting mad at them for not announcing something that might not have anything to announce

Lol, we are not getting Brad Stevens.  I would put my house on that.

I'll put up nothing, but I'll take your house if we do.  Deal. 

[IUHAHN81]

Hopefully they build the WHITE WHALE a new office. I'm not interested in any leftover Woody juju rubbing off on him! 

[IU Prof]

Wasn't reporting the Goodman quote on Stevens as a fact, just FYI. Goodman went on to say we should hire Pitino.

[HinnyHoosier]

Are Kathy and 71 retiring alongside Mike? Feels a little troll-less around here today.

I think Stevens would have better odds than a 72 year old Rick Pitino.

Scott, this is a PR nightmare.  There is no good way to say it or defend it.  This will be used against us for a minute.  It will impact our recruiting negatively as much as Woody has.  It’s ok to admit it.

I know, sorry. I just can't resist the opportunity to let the doofiness go unstated.

As to the bolded above: I rest my case.

I would rather have a bowl of Pinto Beans as coach then pitino

Lol, I took it down cause I already said my peace.  Don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade, but that possibility left 15 years ago.

He was dead on about Woodson from the beginning so he kind of deserves this...

Still trying to figure out if a coach has ever been fired before seasons end yet.

 

 expect we won’t hear much from them for a while

Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops

Indiana is trying to give Woodson the respect of going out the right away as an alum and "retiring", source told @TheFieldOf68. "Everyone is now fine with it," said one source close to the situation. "All the boosters have come to terms with the fact that it's time."
