They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[Hornsby]

As much as I want woody fired..boy it'd be funny if we won the big ten tournament.  Talk about never knowing what a team is gonna do..God dang

Yep that's one thing that never ever happens though. I think we have maybe made the semis 5 times in like 25 years. Finals once.

Fun fact. Steve Kerr’s son married our former neighbors daughter and kids babysitter who is also an IU grad.

Make it happen Scott.

Yeah, no... Don't want to go anywhere near another coach with no college experience. Ever.

If Dusty May is available five years from now it would mean he hasn’t succeeded at a P5 school and we won’t want him.

Not necessarily. He is an IU alumn and that draw will always be there. Also, if he leaves FAU, he isn’t landing at a blue blood. It will be a middle of the pack type power 5 job. Those jobs are ones you leave to go to IU. There is really never a scenario where you dip down to the mid major level to hire a men’s basketball coach at IU, imo. That 5-7 years gives Dusty or anyone else a chance to improve a power 5 program and show they can recruit at a power 5 level as well.

Still fire the man.

I spent the day with my 5 and 7 year old at my mom's playing at the park.  Me and my stepdad are going to the Mich St. Game.  I told him , I kinda hope we go 0-3-0-4 on this final stretch so we can fire woody.  He looked at me like I'm completely crazy.  I follow more than he does.

 

Idk, I'm just ready to feel like iu had a coach where we aren't constantly getting out coached.  I've followed every game for 23 years...IU basketball is part of me and will continue to be so until I die. But..Woody needs to go...this feels just like Archie. Come on man.  I don't even care that we won.. it's laughable

So I have complained about the administration here, so I fall into that category.

Using your logic, am I allowed to complain about President Biden? Or since I’ve never put myself in the race to become president, am I not allowed to complain about him?

I do believe that you’re saying that their job is hard and a lot more to the job than what couch coaches like me even know. That is true. I think complaining about the decisions this administration has made in the past is fair. The bigger the job, the more people will care, the more people that care, more complaining can happen. Part of the job.

Appreciate the response. No one else seemed to feel it warranted a reply.

if you feel you are qualified to be the POTUS, I say, go for it.

I’m a big proponent of the idea that if you are going to complain about something, then you should be willing to do something about it. 
 

The nomination period for the BOT. Is a real thing and provides an opportunity for someone here who is dissatisfied to step up and make a difference. 

Either folks here have a conviction they don’t.

I think that Mike Woodson is far from perfect, but he was far better than Kevin Willard today. Far better. Of course, Willard is turrrrible.

I also think that I never, NEVER, want Indiana basketball to lose a game.

The decision making portion of Kevin Willard’s brain hasn’t developed since middle school.

This season is over. Every win here on out increases the chances of Mike Woodson coming back and next season being over before it even begins. I’ll want that.

Not all on here you are telling to fill out a form can  even run for the position.   You are assuming these people all graduated from IU.   Not all fans of IU basketball are Indiana graduates.   Going on a free message board to tell people who are venting about a terrible season and a coach that isn’t producing to even the standards he himself talked about when he was hired to run for a serious Indiana university position is an interesting choice.   Plus I would tell most that fill out a form to run if the platform has anything to do with athletics while they are running it probably isn’t going to end well.   One of the Hysterics ran for a spot if I’m not mistaken and he got smoked

Sadly you are correct. Any win only helps woodson.

100%.  I didn't graduate from Indiana, so I guess I have no convictions. 

I guess if I don't like the way an NFL quarterback plays in a game, instead of going on a message board and complaining about it I should just start training and try to take his job.

This is literally a thread called 'Fire Mike Woodson'.  It's like he's surprised when he opens the lion cage that there are lions in it.

So, don’t try then . It’s kinda like voting. If you don’t vote, what right do you have to complain?

[Hoosier1984]

After being at the game tonight compared to previous couple years @ Maryland. What a difference. Previous years all the IU fans would start the IU chant when we would be winning. This year I heard multiple IU fans by me yelling brick when IU was shooting so we could lose and most yelling about Woodson. Even after the win walking out with everyone you would have not known who won as both fanbases walked out like what a crap year. Changes will have to happen.

Lmao we’ve reached the “if you don’t run for the Board of Trustees you can’t complain about the coach” stage of your Woodson defense.

I’m good.   If I want to complain about something on a free message board I’m going to do it.   Don’t really care  if someone thinks I have a right to do it or not.

I'm fairly sure every single one of these posters have bought a ticket to a game, so they have helped boost the share of the athletic department one way or the other. In that sense, that gives them the right to complain. I'm not talking about IU like a stock, merely saying anyone who buys a ticket and is a fan should be allowed to complain. 

Also, the voting thing might hold water in other states but this is indiana. They could roll out a ventriloquist dummy and they would get voted in if they were republican. The only year a Democrat won the popular vote in Indiana was Obama over McCain. But alas, I'm not getting into the political aspect. 

For the record, I think Woodson should go based on his age and I think the timing could be more right this year then it might be in future years but just an opinion. I don't necessarily like how the team performs with him as coach, after 3 years of sample size. 

I do have the right to say that, whether I went to IU or did or didn't run for the BOT or not.

Lol what are we doing
