They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

Here’s some good discussion for you. When I asked a very important person to the program if Chris Beard is an option, I got a one word response. “No.”

Another interesting note is Mullins is still communicating with people (not staff) at IU. 

Just Braylon? Or is dad in contact as well?

When Woody is out the door do you think you will still spend time posting about him when IU gets a new coach? 

He's going to be busy writing a book called "The King and his 5th", which takes place in an alternate timeline where Woodson gets a fifth season and the overwhelming majority of the fanbase quits IU basketball.

Given the history of iu admins it wasn't that crazy of a thing to think it could happen. And the king darn well thought he was getting another year. I could only write a book though if I found out how the hell quinn and ferguson got overruled and told to get out of the way. Some heated exchanges I'm guessing

He very likely wasn’t getting another year and his inquiry a couple of weeks ago, which sought assurances about his future, prompted what we’re seeing now. IU wanted to wait and asked him to do the same, but he chose not to.

What were his assurances?

The bottom line is even though some said he knew it was over weeks ago clearly he didn't. He really thought he might get another year it seems

This would be of no surprise. Arrogant Mike isn't coming to you.

Another story that Evans told was about Kirk Haston coming back to Assembly Hall for a game during Woodson's first year. He's only been to a couple games since he graduated and had his son with him. Dane Fife alerted Woodson that a distinguished alum was back for the first time in years and said it'd be nice if Woodson went over and greeted him before the game. He flatly refused. Total DB move.

Yeah, this whole Mike Woodson loves IU thing is bs. This guy was basically never around the university/program from the time he left. Mike Woodson is about Mike Woodson plain and simple. Good riddance. 
Other than coming back for bobby knight the one day did he ever come back for games? I am guessing nope never.

Kathy did the equivalent of a blow-by in the handshake line. If that was true how did at least 3 of us on here know on Wednesday that IU was going to push him into retirement?  If he loved IU why wouldn't he wait like IU asked him too? A lot of things don't add up. 
What I always wanted to know was if he loves iu so much why couldn't he take the job for 2 million or less? I thought it was his dream job. Why did he need such a massive salary?
