First, you guys are hilarious. Reading the pages I missed on a long travel day is great.  I guess I missed the chance to drop the bomb that coaches were informed yesterday that Woody is being ret

First thing's first, congrats to the IU women on the 4-seed and hosting opportunity. Tough draw, but they call it madness for a reason. Secondly, love you guys and this community, but goodness you're

The “compromise” by Dolson to let this go down this way saved us some good cash on the buyout. Lot of litigation today. Make no mistake about it, this was not Woody’s decision to retire.

I think midseason firings may start to happen more often now with the portal being a big factor. Teams that are out of contention and won't be in the tournament want to get a jump start on recruiting portal players. 

I don't get why a mid-season firing would jump start portal recruiting. You are still waiting for the next coach to be in place before any recruit is going to think about jumping to your school.

Sure, you might have a handshake agreement in place with your next coach, and he might start quietly working back channels. But that could be true even if you haven't officially fired the current coach yet. So I'm not sure what the mid-season firing accomplishes, portal wise.

Isn’t it more about possibly scaring away the potential new coach if we fire a coach mid season with a winning record overall and in conference, with still 11 regular season games left that they could win many of them.  Also, isn’t the fact that the many coaches and normal fans don’t see all the detailed circumstances involved in this whole mess.

If a potential new coach is too dumb to see that the Woody era isn’t working out then that coach shouldn’t be considered for the job.

I don't think he isn't fired because of it being bad optics, I just feel it is that they don't believe in firing a coach in season. I would feel that way if we were 8-12 right now.

I also don't see what firing a coach mid season does for the future of the program.  The only thing it does is ease the minds of the fans knowing there will be a change. It isn't like we can do interviews during the season since the candidates still has a current job. They can do back channel talks even if Woodson has a still coaching so nothing would be different. It wouldn't help in recruiting since we won't be recruiting until the new staff is in place.

One reason I think a change is possible in the season is no one likes seeing a former player booed and having chants that he should be fired during the games. But if everyone is OK with that then let's wait till the end of the season.

I believe the plan is in place and just the people involved in the plan know about it and the motion will start when the timing is right. 

That sounds very logical to me. I also think the timing will be less on wins and losses than it will be on more episodes in the Hall like what we saw against Illinois.

The whole thing could be cringe worthy because of Woodson…

It would cement his legacy... he would confirm what most of us already know... good player here 40 years ago; entitled and ego-centric human being; absolutely horrible coach. Arrogant to the end.

I have no emotional connection to Woodson the player since I was way too young to remember him. I don't like Woodson the coach even a little bit so I'm perfectly fine with him getting booed and having to hear chants for him to be fired for the rest of the season. I'm also okay with the blowout losses piling up on his record. If these things don't get someone who "loves" IU to resign/retire in the best interest of the program, he's totally earned them and can reap his rewards for all I care.

Heck they both will probably find a way to get another year and run it back. Galloway is not a good player. I can't believe he is a coaches son

I would like to see him booed. I can't stand the guy and his arrogance. I hope it gets really ugly for him

Trish said we could lose again tomorrow and I said the game is Sunday, not tomorrow. 

Is it really Sunday? Jesus, these guys get so much time in between games.

He’s spent four seasons making a mockery of the position and all it entails, and he drove an enormous wedge in the fan base because he didn’t like the criticism he received for failing last season. He’s earned those boos.
