They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

First, you guys are hilarious. Reading the pages I missed on a long travel day is great. 

I guess I missed the chance to drop the bomb that coaches were informed yesterday that Woody is being retired. Better to come from established sources so those on this board who question inside info so diligently wouldn’t have to post responses. Should be an announcement officially tomorrow. Told it was supposed to happen today, but Woody is being difficult about ending the season - and some of that has to do with getting the most out of his contract. This all follows several weeks of work by Dolson, and his witnessing a fight in the locker room that had to be broken up, with an assistant coach yelling at Woody “this is why they’re firing you!”

Want to watch the women’s game now, so will save some additional nuggets for later. But Dolson is retaining a search firm just to check the box, but we’re getting our guy. Numbers have been discussed. I’d expect that to be announced after the season right before the tourney starts. I’ll add more later. Sorry my travel didn’t spring this last night before it hit the media but had some family things going on. 

Things are about to turn around for IU and our fans in a big big way. Alright, go Lady Hoosiers!

I just might have to move back to Bloomington.. @Chris007 Are you hiring?

Does anyone want to do this again tomorrow? 

Do we have a choice?

Maybe I’m in the minority but I think the “contemplating” stuff is perfect. He’s gone. So this makes it seem like it was his decision. I think we will get an official announcement tomorrow that he is retiring. Who cares what the messaging is today.

Whether he continues to coach is interesting. I don’t care as long as it isn’t affecting who we could get as a coach.

This is correct. Woodson wants to put his spin on it. He can contemplate anything he wants but he’s going to sign retirement papers soon or we’re going to buy him out. Pretty simple. His dream job is ending in failure, it’s going to take him a minute to get over it but he’s done and he knows it.

It’s a bit messy at this point. Woody and his camp and his social media burners are just delusional. Hysterics today hinted at some racial stuff behind the scenes which I fully believe based on stuff I’ve seen from the burners. I hate the racial aspect, because I’m a merit based guy. Woody has failed in every metric. Then handled things horribly at senior night when HE put together the gosh awful season he did.

I wish he was gone now. Pick a responsible adult to lead these kids and let’s hope they can turn things around enough to sneak into the tournament still. Please…….

To suggest there is any racial angle here is completely laughable - entirely merit based like you said. 

It's actually offensive to the people working on serious causes for their communities, tbh. 

This is just the dying breath of Quinn's corruption IMO... I really wish that he doesn't finish the year. 

Let's hope this is Custer's Last Stand for Quinn and Mike... tomorrow we get a pleasant surprise... 

What a way to ruin your legacies.

You’re missing one, but you got one of our top four there. There were a Few people who reached out to us expressing interest that is an exceptional back up plan if needed unexpectedly. 

Wright? Might as well do the entire quadfecta, is that even a word?

They retired Mike Davis in the middle of a season and fired Kelvin Sampson in the middle of one.  "Never"?  Psssh.

Kelvin Sampson resigned in the middle of the season and had nothing to do with performance. Mike Davis wasn’t fired in the middle of the season.

Looks like a very unproductive day tomorrow.

I like a Few good people.

It does sound like we won’t be stuck with a Mike Woodson esque coach like last time if Brad falls through which is nice also

We all know who this probably was, but unless I have video evidence of it I’m saying it was Hulls.

How many years does Mike have on his contract? 

Yeah, the way this is going down really screams that Mike is the one calling shots and choosing to retire, lol. 

If I remember correctly, it was a 6 year contract... additional stuff was added, but no extension, as I recall.

Sampson wasn’t exactly ‘middle’’

Yea…wouldn’t have expected that since about a decade ago. Maybe nil is really bleak over there.

Woody can contemplate a Few of DEEZ on his way to the links.

LOL.  Just admit you are wrong.  Kelvin Sampson was "resigned" he didn't "resign".  That is just a euphemism for quit with some benefits or get fired.  Which is exactly what is happening to Woodson.  IU is laying him off.

Besides that, you said "Never" and you didn't qualify your "never".  So again, "never".  Pssh.

Woody is going full Nolan Richardson.  It did not end well for Richardson.

[OKHOOSIER]

If Woody comes out with a one big starting lineup on Saturday and plays a matchup zone I am going to pull my hair out lmao.
