Well imo if he isn't gone today and it likely looks like he isn't then they are committed to purdue and wisconsin imo. I guess I don't see the point in waiting till the season is lost. I don't get why anyone needs to see more embarrassing performances. The fans have clearly turned and the team and coaches look like they are clueless. I don't get it but I think it says alot about why we are in this situation. I guess I don't see why further damage needs done

Yeah, that it hasn't been done by noon today, means it ain't happening for a while.  I never expected it.  

Any announcement will likely come between UCLA and Purdue 2.

The problem is he hasn't been benched for shot selection before.  If that doesn't happen, that only acknowledges to him that his shot selection is okay with the staff.

Getting benched because his dad thinks he should be getting more playing time IMO just shows that Woody isn't about what makes the team better but rather is about showing the parent that no one can question him.  The truth is he SHOULD have been benched previously because of shot selection and if he had he would have learned quickly that it had to improve.

Let's face it, the reason the vitriol is so much about wanting Woodson to be fired goes beyond wins and losses and extends into what a pain of a human being he is.  People certainly wanted Archie fired but I don't think anyone had a hatred of him -- rather they just found him as an aloof person.

I agree with this. Archie wasn’t a bad person nor did he rub others the wrong way, we just needed a change because he wasn’t the right fit.  Woodson on the other hand is a despicable human being that walked around with his chest pumped out and this real since of entitlement, and I am only scratching the surface.

And we almost lost. I didn't believe there is an ounce of good coaching talent on the bench.

What is it they call almost losing?

Wish we had almost lost the game to Maryland yesterday.

What would be golden is if Woodson is fired.
Waaaayyyyy too much posts about Todd Golden in this thread when the dude has yet to win a single tournament game and to date his best finish in a conference was fourth.  We are aiming higher than that.

Yea I don't get it either. I think iu basketball is in uncharted territory. I know some on here think we can hire anyone and as long as they win things will be OK. I believe if someone comes in and wins things will eventually be OK but I think they have to go big name this time. This is the first time the program is truly in the dumps and the fans have left. I consider myself a huge fan and my enthusiasm is in the tank. I don'tr think a young unheard of or a truly umproven moves the needle. We need juice pumped in immediately! We need someone who day one brings the fans back and gets recruits excited to play here!
But first before any of that we need woodson gone!

if Kenny Payne finished the year at Louisville and they recovered, I think we'll be ok lol i get everybody is over this but there are only 10 (maybe 11) games left in the season.  Woodson isn't going to be the coach next year whether he finishes the year or doesn't finish the year. 

But if you already know he's not the guy, why risk the team doing just enough to give the bootlickers any kind of daylight to give it any more time?

It just seems that QB and crew have put the expectations on Woodson so much lower than they would on others.  Why play the game of meeting low expectations just because he's a friend?

I think Golfman’s post makes a lot of sense.  I’m now good with whatever outcome we have as long as it humiliates Woodson, Buckner and others and gives Dolson clout and he can say I told you so.  I didn’t want to sacrifice this season but Dolson needs to take back the AD office and be able to have the clout to tell Buckner, SF, and others to go fly a kite.

The fan-fic about Dolson keeping Woody all year to show the board and the donors and the formers players that wanted this what bad boys and girls they've been keeps me going.

Whoever brought up the Florida case should be hereby suspended for derailment.....I bet Cathy sent them in here with that nonsense!

Back to "Fire Mike Woodson"

No I brought it up to create chatter about maybe a candidate. I brought it up because people talk about wanting Beard and wonder what their stance would be on Golden. Yes fire Woodson but people talk about potential coaches all the time on this chat….

Cmonn lol 

"The University of Florida has closed its investigation into Gators men's basketball coach Todd Golden after finding "no evidence" that he violated Title IX, the school said Monday. "

But some on here know more? 

 

Oh I agree, I just didn't understand why some were acting like they knew the details. 

What is your stance on Chris Beard then?

[Artie86 3,505]

Just a thought,…..could it be that Dolson is carefully doing back channeling and is trying to get legit interest from his top candidate/candidates before letting the ball drop on Woodson?

You’ve been around IU message boards a while if you get that reference.

Good reasons!

1. IU is not a better job than UF.
2. I'm a double Hoosier and my youngest is at UF. The campuses, location, town , and vibe between Gainesville and Btown are remarkably similar.
3. The B1G is not a better conference that the SEC.

Is IU a better job than Ole Miss?? I joke because we know the answer but I have been watching a lot of cbb reporters say they wonder if some coaches in the SEC might try to jump for jobs in the ACC or Big 10 if offered in the off-season because the talent level in the SeC is very very very good top to bottom. So a coach at LIKE OLe Miss, Mississippi state and Oklahoma could look to jump.

I've heard this a couple of times today. So something like that if Stevens said no today, and Michigan found out they could offer Dusty a huge contract right now before the season is over. So then you have already struck out on your two big choices. 

So if we get rid of Woody before the end of the season then things look good for Stevens but if we wait till the end then it's probably already a college coach? Is this what your saying?

Yea, though interestingly Ole Miss has pretty darn good NIL.

Because it's a better job and in a better conference? Or why not? 

He just left San Fran for Gainsville.... 

In what way is it a better job?

More recently National championship successful program

Currently more successful program

Great recruiting base

Better weather

No state taxes

2 - 3 hrs to three major cities
