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!!

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.

You had me at zombie dust.

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.

I’ll donate 50$ if we get Brad for his contract.

This is what is getting at me. Under a different voice this team has a punchers chance to make the tournament.

A fight between players? Assistant coaches? An assistant coach and Woodson?

Looks like it's even more out of control than it appears from the outside.

Classic "inmates running the asylum" scenario.

Woody finishing this mess of a season is so disappointing.

I guess we can get more locker room fights between players and coaches that result is ZERO extra fire on the court.

Disgusting basketball.

I wouldn’t be thrilled about Few, honestly. I’d rather have Beard. But I’m in no position as a suffering IU fan to turn my nose up at him either.

I've been looking for some Pliny...any idea where I could find?

Same. I’m not ready to give in on the season yet.

Don’t fall for Rabby’s word salad. No chance Woody coaches Saturday. I’ll replace Cig’s face in my profile picture with the face of someone’s choosing if he does. Do your worst.

I love the thought of Stevens but he’s been out of coaching for a while now. Never dealt with NIL or the changing recruiting landscape. I really don’t think he’s as close to a certainty as people think. It’s risky. Beard and pearl are the most sure things there are. Outside of that we have calculated gambles. Let’s hope we get it right.

NIL is making college coaches very much a mix of coach and GM

I'm relieved that Woodson will be done (officially) at the end of the season. 

Now I'm steeling myself for the disappointing hire that will likely follow. At least I have some time to prepare myself since that's more than a month away.

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.

Contemplating retirement and now Woodson finishing out the season.  Until I hear an official retirement announcement, I'm going to assume this is all PR spin trying to calm the fans.  In my opinion, Woodson and Buckner are still pushing to not make a decision until the season ends.

Well ****. Now I’m hoping that Woody coaches on Saturday.
