They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[HoosierFan1994 5,344]

If I remember right, Miller was in the main group for the 2017 Hot Board, Woodson was nowhere near the top in 2021. Interesting list for sure.

Because he’s tired of making 1.5 million when he could be making 10 million in Bloomington

The “why” is easy. Money, proximity to elderly parents and to family, the want to continue coaching when someone is at a young age, professional variety.

The counter-arguments to that “why“ are also notable and numerous.

Therefore, the “would he“ is far trickier.

He’s stated previously it’s his dream job.  Son is at ND. Parents are getting older and Bloomington is closer to home.   A lot has changed.  Celts for sale.  New nba contract rules. Won a ring.  
 

If he passes and a guy like May takes it, the job won’t open for 15+ years.  It’s now or never for him. 
 

allegedly he left originally bc he didn’t like recruiting kids and schools coming in the 11th hour and stealing them.  IU NIL changes a lot of that.

If BS comes here after turning down the job last cycle, I would be shocked...ecstatic, but shocked.  I understand how the landscaped has changed.  I won't get my hopes up this time.

If you read carefully what Jerry said, he said “we’re getting our guy”….very specific and I’m sure one could argue the majority of those in those forum would consider their guy to be Brad Steven’s….i mean, “numbers are being discussed”…the fav

 

As I understood it, numbers were discussed previously....that wasn't the issue... it was the family vote with heavy-handed misogynistic interference by Steve Ferguson... 

But, I could live with Brad Stevens as IU's coach if Dolson can make it happen.

There’s a joke to be made here that, to be clear, I am NOT making. Credit to me, an all time nice guy. 

I'm going to make it seamless for you, I'm giving the EXACT same look as Oladipo in that Pic.  Most people won't be able to tell that there was an edit.

From what I've gathered, one Turd named Ferguson had A LOT to do with it.

We still have a chance to make the tourney this year, however small. We’re punting it with Woodson staying. With that being said, it just highlights the bigger issues going on within the basketball program behind closed doors.

And what Woodson lackey is going to rip off 6 or seven wins to finish the season?

Of course, any "retirement" announcement will guarantee Woody getting the full remaining $ on his contract otherwise he would never agree to it.  Mike is dumb but not that dumb.

Just give him the money and send him back to Atlanta... so tired of his b!tching ... just make it stop.

[Hornsby 3,870]

It's a massive hell of his own making.
I'm kind of wondering why his family hasn't tried to talk some sense in to his hard head? Or are they drinking his kool-aid too?

Or he simply doesn't listen cause nobody tells the king what to do.

Why do we think Stevens only makes $1.5 million? NBA GMs routinely make $4 million plus, and as high as $10 millions according to this:

https://frontofficesports.com/highest-paid-nba-general-managers/

This suggests that elite NBA front office personnel regularly get $10 million:

Why does Woodson need a body guard?
