They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[4iufourever 290]

Here is a better list than the one I provided a few minutes ago.  Much better.  Cronin, Pearl, Oats, Beard, and Scott Drew are on this list.  I'd take all of them but Cronin.

Woodson is finishing out the season according to Rabjohns. What a joke. Letting him finish out just reaffirms the zero faith I have for IU never getting out of their own way for basketball.

Someone is taking things personally.

He was “retired”. Semantics aside. He hasn’t done his job and Indiana doesn’t want him as a coach anymore.

How does that adversely affect IU ?

Brad Stevens hadn't coached college basketball in 10 years. Much has changed. 

I'm sure he's quit watching it, too, being a GM of a pro team that drafts...college players.

It doesn’t really matter. We can “start” the search now. It’s not gonna make a difference if he coaches or not. I’m just glad the contemplating bull **** is over with.

It probably also makes a difference if him or his wife’s parents are getting older and they want to be around them more…. 
 

Am I the only one who also ranks coaches in who they could bring in the portal with them? Is there anyone from Ole Miss or Auburn or Gonzaga that would put a coach over the top? 
 

if it’s Stevens I think he is the only one who could get Mullins to flip… unfortunately he won’t even try to flip Haralson and I think he also keeps our two recruits that we currently have! 
 

people talk about wanting Few but did everyone forget he has a DUI or maybe 2? So it’s not like he’s Mr. Innocent either.

I think flipping current recruits (or bringing players with them into the portal) is of zero importance. This is about coaching accumen and culture and program building. If the right guy is brought in, he will use IU's NIL money to choose the right players and then develop relationships with HS players (unlike Woodson on both accounts) to get the right players into his system. 

If IU doesn't finish top 3 in the B1G in this first year, who cares? If he shows progress, the fan base will be thrilled...

How does it help? What does it accomplish letting him finish. The fan base is done with him.

Well Rabby said it’s 100% official. He will coach until the end of the season “unless he changes his mind”

But with that announcement, a contract can officially be offered and signed by Brad.

LET THE FLIGHT TRACKING BEGIN

I hope IU can do better than this list.  Never heard of the site, but talk about underwhelming "replacements."  

Spoiler alert:

Mick Cronin, John Groce, Steve Alford, Richard Pitino, and Ben McCollum are the list.  Surely IU hasn't fallen this far.  Side note:  I Googled "Mike Woodson replacement" and that is how I found this link.  Barf!!

Probably best to wait till the end of the season to announce. Don’t want Woodson being asked questions about his replacement.

Resigning and Terminating (fired) from a contractual standpoint have vastly different meanings.

Imagine being upset about Indiana trying to get better. 99% hope and optimism… then there’s your posts.

10/10/24. Shrews coached with Brad in BOS and has his son on the team at ND:

Was going to mention this. Getting an opportunity to coach his son has to be compelling.

Approximately 11 hours ago I read some posts and assumed Woody was going to be forced out.

Just got home, spent time reading 800+ more posts but yet  have the exact same opinion. LOL

Didn’t learn much of anything, except for seeing Few’s name mentioned (on a side note I’m older than Few but he is 62….At the risk of being agist I’d prefer a guy that kills it for the next 15 years) but, in spite of that, I’ll read the next 800 posts.

I would have hopes that we could make the NCAAT if Woody would leave RIGHT NOW!

Same. Didn’t he also say “why would I ever coach at a place like Indiana?  Total fish bowl.   Lose a game and the fans are all over you “?!??

I'd argue that Woodson got a FOUR YEAR SH!T SHOW of his own making... so there's that.
