[coonhounds 9,761]

People aren't suddenly going to become Woodson rah rah guys because of the puff piece. They may play a little harder tomorrow but I'm guessing he gets rocked by 20 on tuesday

What i am kind of alluding to is if tomorrow isnt going swell I am not sure the fans just chill. I think that is their hope. They are stupid imo. This entire retirement plan should have happened over the Christmas break when we were scraping by the cupcakes. A simple my health doesn't allow me to put the energy into this as it demands and moved on. Everyone could see we were in trouble. Now it's far worse and he will still be on the sideline. I think they believe the fanbase will rally around them now. I am not confident that will be the case. Woodson and his senior night comments and his inability to do this job is what fans are mad about. So how exactly does this fix that

Beard is -- way, way, way down at the bottom. 

These dudes putting out these lists need to exercise a little self-control. Osterman lists 21 candidates -- that's just too many. 

Need to keep it at 10 or fewer to keep readers' interest, IMO. 

"The Daily Hoosier" had 32 candidates. Oy-vey! 

 

Yeah I mean the list did seem like he's just throwing names out there for interest. So often the actual coach that gets hired is never actually on these first lists of potential hires.

One thing I do notice with all the coaching hot boards is that none of them think it'll get down to the mid major level. They all think it'll come from a coach currently at the P4 level.

I think that’s because of the money we have to spend and our NIL money.

Do I have to leave this thread? It feels like it’s part of my family. Has everyone moved over to the candidate thread?

I keep seeing from his Kool aid crew we owe him respect. Why? What did he do to earn our respect? And playing here 45 years ago doesn't count. It's clear to me the narrative in this pr statement is to be a rally around Woodson moment. No he still is the same guy he was yesterday.

I see Chris Beard or Mark Few are not on this list. Does this mean anything? Or is he just throwing names out there just because.

Correct on first point

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

Just ******* fire him. Jesus Christ. 

I don't think even JC could get him fired!

Don’t worry, there will be plenty to complain about after Dolson hires Steve Alford. 

[Trish 12,371]

What a privilege to know as a current staff member that you’ll be jobless in a month and some change. I expect the only “safe” people on staff that could have a slight change of joining the next staff would be.

- Jordan Hulls

I expect Calbert will head back to the Pacers. Everyone else, from the GA’s, video, DOBO, ops assistants, strength,  and even athletic training should be let go. It’s time for a fresh new page. 

Hell, paint the offices in each coaches office, the stains need to be removed from the last eight years.

As we are wrapping up, I wonder where this thread ranks?

We have 8 regular season games and potentially a BTT game, if we are lucky enough to make it.

This thread will still be getting plenty of action.

It may just be me talking to myself for 20 pages, but it will be rolling for another month or so. Lol... half kidding...

Stop putting that out there. Haha. You might bring it to fruition.

He was a manager during Alfords 4 years.

I saw Dakich on the warpath stumping for Alford on Twitter this afternoon so I had to say it. 

Don’t do it Scott!
