Hopefully just like Woodson's stent at IU.

I guess you can tell I've never been SF

I went there to see it with my only real visual concept coming from "full house" and expecting it to be this huge marvel. It wasn't lol.

Now if he were like the Oakland Bridge? That'd be a long and agonizing time.

As Chris said it only took a few weeks after the season for many to forget what a bad coach Woodson was last year. But that happens every summer.

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

From the Dolson interview today I don't get the impression he will be here for another 7 years. He mentioned several times he is a bridge. This bridge isn't that long. We're not on the Golden Gate bridge here

A bridge to me was like three years very short term. They gave him enough money to almost ensure he wins just enough next season to get himself a 5th year. He would really have to be bad not to win 20 games with that group. And 20 wins certainly gets him another year at IU.

I was just there in August.  Fisherman’s Warf and the Golden Gate Bridge are underwhelming as someone stated, but the Oakland Bay lit up at night and Alcatraz were pretty cool.  Also, Oracle Park is pretty cool to watch a game.

Given what just happened at Kentucky and Louisville in their coaching searches, I seriously have to wonder if we had any serious candidates interested.   Hopefully he can go on a little run with theses new guys and then step away gracefully.  

I've attempted to be consistent in using "if the right coach were available" in my posts. However, there is a risk/reward element to it. It feels we've been rather risk adverse for a number of years now. As long as Woody is mediocre, we'll continue to have Woody and the army of positive posters that inflate his "accomplishments." That's fine for some but I'd much rather cycle through a few Woody level coaches until we find one up to what should be our standard.

What makes you think he will step away I could see him staying another 7 years given he only leaves when he wants to leave

Thus the word “hopefully.”

Muir Woods was the highlight for me.

Yeah. I think you have to be ready to move if a coach upgrade becomes available.  Much like the Cubs did with Joe Maddon.

As long as Woodson donor buddies continue to give him top 5 nil money they won't move on. NIL will make sure donors have lots of say in the program. I mean dolson can't force him out if donors decide to pull funds.

Well, he IS Mike Woodson. And he has a hump.

Hoosier Hysterics had him on their podcast. He was only supposed to be on for 40 minutes but it went on for over an hour. He talked Cigs hiring, facilities, Woodson 3rd season, and the re-signing of Adidas. I don't know if it's open to the public yet but they usually open it up. Probably by tomorrow

This is my biggest fear. In spades.

Because we like to hike, we were going to go there but never made it.  We ended up going to Yosemite instead.

It figures that IU's bridge would be Galloping Gertie.

I tell everyone visiting that area...if you have time go walk amongst the old growth redwoods. Not really going to itch any serious hikers itch, but that Place is magical.
