Felt like he became the scapegoat for what happened speaking of which what happened to Greenspan after that.

It doesn’t matter who is here next year if Woodson is employed. He can’t win with multiple 5* recruits. Burn the entire team/staff to the ground and start over. It’s entirely possible in the portal era. See Chris Beard at Ole Miss. sweetpain and taco corp 2

The odds of IU looking at Beard are less than zero, especially if Fitzgerald interviewed well for the football gig and Whitten put an end to that possibility. thebigweave 1

Lloyd, Drew are interesting to me. I mean Painter is too, but…. May is on my other list. I feel it could be CAM like, but I think that’s most likely.

There seems to be enough truth to the rumors that IU did examine Beard's background prior to hiring Woodson and deciding no then to assume Beard is a non-starter at IU. Personal opinion doesn't matter on that -- but if you are in favor of Beard, look for someone like that as opposed to Beard himself.

I'd like to see more of May, same as I said about Miller, but I could easily see someone making a move for him after this year.

I wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere near him before, now if he's the guy, so be it. That said, I do think we're talking about a coaching spot that isn't going to be open next year.

Unexpectedflash Posted February 4, 2024 Posted February 4, 2024 If I’m 66 year old Mike Woodson at the end of the year do I really want to try and rebuild this team after a horrible year and try and recruit 8 new players or whatever. I personally wouldn’t. I think everyone would be happiest if he decided to retire. I’m sure being booed by the college he loves like last game couldn’t have been enjoyable and it’ll only be worse this year. Retire, be a program ambassador and go to all the games, and enjoy your life Mike. Home Jersey and Adillac 1 1

Thought he was good as a coach in his short time but the administration could have handled the situation regarding Sampson better than what they ended up doing had they taken a better approach the program might look significantly different does right now.

Idk about the legality, but he had an assistant threatening to have Hanner Perea deported for not choosing Baylor lol.
AKHoosier Posted February 4, 2024 Posted February 4, 2024 I wonder if there's any chance Mark Few wants a change of scenery after this season. The only thing he's missing on his resume is that national title, and maybe he thinks that opportunity has come and gone at Gonzaga. At 61, it's now or never for him. TadQueasy 1
