They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

He wanted a public promise that he was our coach past this year, and Dolson said we wouldn’t do that. He got no assurance from others in the daisy chain, even after he made noise that he would leave. His separation took shape from there. But it wasn’t how Dolson wanted it to go, and he knew if would hamper our search for his replacement, which it has (there’s a reason we didn’t boot Tom Allen after far, far worse performance, and Dolson remembers well how that aided him in his search).

For anyone who has listened to Woodson for the last 4 years, this is completely plausible. No clue if it actually happened but it also aligns with some of the reported hubris that the Hysterics had mentioned.

The attitude of some of the coaching board is just unreal. They act like they have never swore in their life and beard is the second coming of the devil. I don't like people like that it's not up to me to judge others. And heaven forbid someone gets a second chance. That board is toxic imo.

The irony of you calling anything toxic is laughable. How is criticizing Beard any different than getting on here everyday and repeating the same garbage about Woodson. Is he the second coming of the devil? Should we put winning above all else. Get off your high horse about people not wanting a guy who admits to having a drinking issue, and had DV (suffocation /strangulation) charges dropped, which most cases are. You hate CMW for not winning games, but love Beard because he'll win us more games. Isn't you criticizing others for having a different viewpoint, essentially you judging others?

Woodson made it, though a series of his actions. IU didn’t initiate it. They very likely would’ve at the end of the season, but they didn’t a few weeks ago. That was all MW.

Cool so IU saves $8M

But don't dare hire beard because some of our holier than though perfect humans on the other thread who have never done anything bad hate him. The holier than thou attitude of some is just unreal. Talk about people full of themselves.

Who on here hasn't bitten and choked a girlfriend in a fight after she broke your glasses.

People can say what they want I just find it comical some think they are judge and jury on others based on accusations. I'm sure they had Duke lacrosse locked away on day one too. Why I'm pretty much staying off that thread.

Based on accusations? This is complete bullsh*t. Unless you somehow believe she bruised and bit herself there was a domestic violence event. We don't know if it would have been prosecutable or who perpetuated it, but no one denies it happened.

What is complete bs is being  called guilty until proven innocent. He was not convicted in a court of law. I am guessing you had the duke lacrosse guys and guilty and ready to sentence on day one without a trial. I almost guarantee you did.  Who needs a trial when you can just run on what someone else claims happened.

Didn't say you didn't read it. Just that you comprehension is woefully lacking. It literally said that his guilt or role in the DV event was unknown, but his actions were physically undeniable.

By having Woodson’s status announced so early, we gave UM and plenty of other schools the opportunity to tie up their coaches before we could ever get to them. No matter with May as he said “No, thanks” a couple of weeks ago, but it’s why waiting until the season ends is the way we wanted to do it - and why MWs decision to check out was a middle finger to us.

You seem to think that IU moving on from Woodson was a surprise to everyone else. It wasn't. Schools will make decisions on whether or not to extend their coaches regardless of if the status of the IU job. May signing an extension with the IU job open just showed publicly that he had no interest in the position.

[Hornsby 3,065]

Well I guess the king should not have "retired" given the way it looks he is just cooking beyond belief . With us already  missing on may and most likely stevens he could of let the PROCESS play out and begged like heck for year five. Kathy should have told him to hold off on the "retirement". He ended up being his own worse enenmy not letting the " process" play out.  Instead we will probably hire bronwell and the king will be enraged.

Our glorious king should have some interesting post game comments today

Really happy for CMW and the seniors.

Please ignore anyone who compares Woody to Archie.

That said, in both cases I think rivalry performance is revealing. Archie obviously knew on some intellectual level of the rivalry. His teams never played PU like the game mattered to him or them much, aside from the Haarms tip-in loss, maybe.

Conversley Woody’s record against Purdue shows he gets it — but it’s damning about how he failed to capitalize on his team’s talent in too many other games.

You're conflating to different things.  One is whether an incident happened -- which it clearly did.  With whether he can be proven to have committed a crime.  Regardless of your stance on DV, there were mitigating circumstances which made it difficult to prove criminal activity beyond a reasonable doubt.  Both things can be true and the powers that be can decide it's not a look the university wants at this point.

The great thing is dolson gets to decide not some random guy on btown banners  who is a beard hater . He can complain all he wants its not his decision at all .  The online morality police are not making the hire. He should probably add leary, evans, and hillman to his naughty list because they have all said we should hire beard.  So did Jim Coyle. His naughty list is going to keep growing.
