I’m hearing no formal announcement coming.

Hopefully once Woody, his backers, and burners are gone Dolson will have the backbone and support to do what’s needed.

I wish for the players sake an interim move was made just to switch up the mojo, but the players probably still mostly back Woodson since they have all made bank together.

No formal announcement seems monumentally stupid. Why have the conversation if you weren't going to announce it?  

Just ******* fire him. Jesus Christ.

Sorry, you beat me to it. I will say this, I bet we lose his NIL donation.

I don't want Ferguson within 100 miles of assembly hall. He is a cancer on the program.

I took his class.  Very interesting when he was not allowing his hate for IU sports to dominate

He was a great teacher and one of my favorite classes at IU. I don't think he hated sports, I think he hated that Knight was basically able to do whatever he liked without repercussions. He also wrote a book how 99% of athletic departments lost money for schools.

If there is no formal announcement today by 6pm I’m going to force myself to assume that just means he’s getting removed immediately and there will be a memo sent to media like 90 minutes before tip off tomorrow. Yes I am going through the stages of grief

Just out of curiosity, I googled the name of the current owner of Cook Group. He's Carl Cook, son of the late Bill Cook. And Carl Cook is a Purdue grad (engineering) and earned his MBA from Iowa. If he wanted to get his MBA from IU, he could've done it easily but somehow chose Iowa. So a Purdue grad is one of IU's biggest donors. Thought it was interesting.

Osterman speaks for Dolson, Osterman says nothing is resolved... maybe nothing is resolved yet. 

We have not yet heard from Scott Dolson. Mike Woodson, you will be fired! TODAY!

Were you there for his undergrad courses where he showed porno films to the class??? Oh yeah....me and DOC Sperber go waayyyyyy back....I was privy to a rather large opposition research file on Murray that I studied very thoroughly at one point......Yes, I have stories...

Ol Murray showed at a party at my frat around 2000-01. Just drank a couple beers, hung out in the corner and left. Didn't narc us or anything.

You can’t say the b word. Now I have to kick you out of the store.

You can tell it's been a long time since I was in a place like that. HAHA is it water pipe

Listened to Eye on CBB on the way to the airport today, (IU starts a 35 minutes if anyone is interested) and the best part was Parrish taking a not so subtle shot at our “kinda sorta possibly open job.” He also reacted to the “unlikely to return next season” line with “no sh*t” lol

Edit: Also dragged (again I might add) for not canning him last year.

“Mike Woodson’s gonna complicate things and, hell, even create his own hump because Mike Woodson is king and goes out how he wants.” - Mike Woodson, probably

If Woodson is being the little child it sounds like dolson just needs to fire him and get this over with.

Yea,

Since Dusty will be “in the Hall” tomorrow I’m very surprised we haven’t heard anything.
The administration must know that’s it’s going to be fugly in the Hall Saturday without an announcement stating Woody is gone (either immediately or at the end of the season).

For the good of the program pull the friggin trigger!!!

Firing his godson will definitely take care of that!  He should be proud!

I like it.  Making a change like this requires Dark Dolson

....I thought he drove a black, Lincoln Navigator.

I see it different. We wanted dusty but let's face it he was a risk. Michigan offered a conservative deal knowing they will have the opportunity to just up his deal if he is successful. I think they will do that soon but may wait to see what happens in big tournament? Dusty knew Michigan would be a good gig if he can succeed and had confidence he could knowing the big money will come and a better deal and bigger buyout. That has been my take and it makes sense to me. Having a small buyout hoping iu opens seems like a huge gamble. If we get him I am OK with it but him and iu would be taking a gigantic risk imo. I wouldn't leave a job that I have a real shot at succeeding to leave and go to a major crap shoot like iu is currently. I know he could do good here but it's not automatic

Fair point.  I didn’t see it that way.   
 

I also remember reading that allegedly, Dolson had Pearl and May basically lined up last offseason before QB intervened (again).  So that probably biased my line of thinking. 
 

I suppose time will tell. 

[Silat Player 1,368]

Well, not making any kind of solid announcement (or even subtley sending word through one of their preferred media outlets) is an ...uh...interesting decision on the part of Dolson.

Pat Forde says statement from IU coming within the hour.
