They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[rcbowla 8,282]

The whole contemplating retiring thing is to try and make this look like he is going out on his own terms. If he wants to coach the rest of the season then he will. Now his desires may change after Saturday. And for my list of candidates:

1. Stevens (not gonna happen)

2. Beard

3. Pearl

4. Few

5. S. Drew

6. Calhoun

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.

This type of **** is why he shouldn’t complete the season. Let Hunter finish it out and maybe the team will respect him and possibly make some resemblance of a run.

Sounds like senior night is going to be the next Wrestle Mania.

First hot board dropped, Stevens is at the top of the list with may and Cronin following in that order.

What are we doing with Cronin on that list. Come on IU don’t screw this up. Surely, he’s not #3.

Good list but I would throw in Dusty too. Anyone of those coaches (sans Calhoun) is a fantastic upgrade and will have us title contenders.

If admin believes that then you either remove Woodson now or do not allow him to speak at senior night:

I totally forgot about Eli Holman and the potted plant.

I can't imagine he will end up coaching out the rest of the season. It makes it especially difficult if he is disgruntled. I just can't imagine letting a disgruntled employee continue working for the organization once it's been decided by the employer they aren't coming back. (I won't say fired to spare everyone an additional argument about the definition of that word again). I hope that leadership does the right thing today and ensures that he has coached his last game.

So many big time contracts are legal scams.  This one for failure.  Besides all the facilities, support, NIL money…..$8,000,000 reward for failure…and it goes on.. These are the best kind of gigs for those individuals who can get one.

I think we need to take some time contemplating Cronin....midwestern guy.....don't see any downside to his record...just as good if not better than some of the "not-stevens" candidates that we are throwing around....AND, more importantly, hes not at the top of the list and will come out of nowhere...like we got hit with Woody out of nowhere and nobody was talking about him on THIS board.

Ok, with that being said, my list is as follows:

1) Stevens (fantasy)

2) May

3) Beard

4) Cronin

5) McCollum

6) Few

I believe Cronin has a $16 million buyout.

I find it hard to believe iu would hire beard.  But all of that aside, do you think May has more upside and is a better coach than Beard?  
 

I think May is Plan B for Dolson, but I’m not totally sold on him yet.  Trying to talk myself into him being the second best candidate.  
 

I think beard is a great coach and would do extremely well here, he just has more red flags than red sweaters.

If Few is legit interested, I think you have to take him for 8-10 years over May. 

If we have a real shot at Brad, with Mark Few as a fallback, we're golden.

I don't really know, I've never met Few or Dusty or any of these dudes, but Few's long, successful track record seems lower risk to me.  He would bring over the Gonzaga system/staff and plug it in... that should work pretty well.  And given the last 25 years, I'd like a lower risk hire if possible.

I like that Few has never won it all and this job would be his chance to push for it one last time.  He's still got something to prove and a chip on his shoulder despite being 63 years old.

Where did the Few stuff come from yesterday?  I may have missed it in the 800 pages.  What’s the source behind it?  Or just speculation?

It was in the Yeagley bomb post.

Yeah if he is actually interested, he has to be number one priority in my opinion. Not only cause he would win big, but he could hand it off to one of his assistants. Just look at Lloyd in Arizona. I just think getting into the Few ecosystem would get us set for a long time.

Stevens, Few, Beard, May, Cronin, McCollum, Calhoun???!.......At this point, other than Beard, do we know for a fact any of the above would be interested?
