So, if we win or get to the final game of this competition, you’ll admit that you are wrong?

You want him to admit he is wrong on a 3 game sample size?   What happened to wanting people to wait until February before they can make a conclusion.

He set the standard. I am going to wait until March to make my conclusion

That’s good to know that you are waiting until March but others probably don’t have to wait that long to come to a conclusion on the team or the coach.

Question is, you hoping that the glimpse is legit team, or are you hoping that they tank to support the FMW posse?

I am from Missouri -- show me.  That's where I am at.  Neither up, nor down.  Guy has a top 5 roster -- money wise.  Top 10 roster -- talent wise.  No more humps.  Time to put up or shut up.  Time to win those championships we have been promised.

Gotcha. Because all I read for the last few months was that IU bought talent and let’s see if Woodson could coach them.

Not based on the last few years, but the comments were based on the here and now.

Yet , 4 games in, ?

To each their own, I guess.

Because it’s a Fire Mike Woodson thread.  It’s the exact place to participate for a poster like him.   Why are you trying to debate with people in a fire Mike woodson  thread to begin with?    You know how they feel but yet you keep coming in here looking to debate with people you know are not going to change their view.   It’s a free message board so everyone is free to participate in any thread they like but seems like a waste of time 

What is define insanity for $1000 alex.

No one is doubting the level of talent of the players... but Woodson is wasting that talent, even mitigating its effectiveness with his inept coaching. He has no clue. He had no clue when he got here, and hasn't learned a blasted thing since he got here. IU fans have experienced this crap for 3+ years... and nothing changes....

That's not true.  The other night he admitted he learned a lesson that he needed capable guards to play well.  So he went out and got some.    Baby steps.

You ready to come to that conclusion on this team after 4 games?

How many games is appropriate?

Can’t speak for everyone but in my case I personally didn’t have to wait to see if he could coach talent.  I want and have always wanted a college basketball lifer to be the head coach of the team I’m most invested in.  He wasn’t that but he was the head coach of the team I’m most invested in so I had an open mind on giving a coach that had 0 college head coaching experience when he was giving the job a chance.   Over the last 3 years nothing was done by him or the coaching staff that changed my initial stance.   Little stuff added up that snowballed into bigger stuff that just reinforced my opinion of the situation.   Just my opinion but IU will never win big with him as the head coach just like they were never going to win big with Miller(who I thought would be great).  I don’t need until march to know he isn’t the guy for IUs future.   As far as this team they have a chance to compete for a B1G regular season or even a B1G tourney title however I don’t see them as a legit National Title contender.  B1G as a whole is so far behind the title contender programs.   Again just my opinion but IU will not be a major ncaa title threat contender until they move on from the current coach

You watch a guy pour concrete for your neighbor's driveways.  He has some hires that do things a little off and he gets the job done but the driveways are uneven and have cracks.  He hires a new crew put together from other reputable concrete crews and says that now he has the crew he wants to do things his way.  You watch them the first few days and notice the same mistakes being made by this new crew that were made by the others.  Do you pull the plug based on your neighbors driveways in the belief that, "Hey, there is one common denominator here..." or do you wait until he is 3/4 of the way done with you driveway before speaking up?

I might have kept that tidbit to myself if I were him.

Win or lose this year, he's not the guy for the future.

And if I was to make a very educated guess? Given our lack of incoming freshmen and the very minimal buyout, this is his last year.

Ratchet up the fire Woodson thread.

All on the coaching, for sure.

$$$$ incented players have no ownership in the results.

Fire Woodson because we didn’t cover the spread 

SMH

If only there was a way for a head coach of one of the most storied programs with great facilities, great exposure, and great fans to somehow interact with the  blue chip high school talent, esp those within the state that grew up in IU families, and convince them to attend his university.

If it bothers you so much, just put him on ignore. Simple solution. Yet you'd rather come on here and complain time and time again that someone isn't being a fan in the way you think people should be fans.

Once again, thanks for your h this thread you hate so much.

It’s like Steuby has a problem with posters coming to a FIRE thread and air their grievances. Doesn’t he know it’s just like Festivus. So this one is for you Steuby “Happy Festivus” from this thread to you and yours.

Agreed. And the fact that IU is/has been near the bottom in the B1G in all the modern era categories during his tenure is quite disturbing

That's all you've heard for the last few months, really?  I could swear you have spent the entirety of the last off season b#tching about people in this Fire Coach Woodson thread wanting CMW fired and suggesting that he would show us and have us untrue fans eating crow with his mercenaries  dominating the B1G.  Now you are blaming the merenaries you praised  for lack luster wins against the Sisters of the Poor.

Why should any IU fan put up with this nonsense?

 I am free to express myself just as anyone else is.

If this thread is left unchecked, shame on folks.

Yeah, the “true IU fan” bullcrap. Agenda driven. 
 

I guess I will waste my time as I choose.

It's actually clearly an ego thing but carry on my wayward son

Not confused at all.

You actually confirmed everything that I thought.

IU played a great game v S Carolina and all you could do is criticize Goode. 
 

Regardless of the outcome you have an agenda.

 

I haven't watched a minute of any of the games so far this year.. Don't have the '+' version of the streaming services, and have the UNCG game recorded, but haven't watched yet... so I'm not going to comment on a game that I haven't seen. I can look at the final score and the box score and draw a reasonable conclusion... with respect to Goode, all I heard during the portal recruiting season was how great a shooter he is... but so far this season's stats don't bear that out...

Yeah, as a fan for almost 60 years, I do have an agenda: Get IU to hire a basketball coach that has a freaking clue how to coach. Renting a group of mercenaries is not a plan. It's an effort by Woodson's billionaire buddies to try to hide his abysmal coaching ability.
