They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

I think Dolson is playing a smart game here. Let Woody coach, let him fail on his own merits. When we lose 6 in a row, he will lose any leverage he currently has. There is still a path to the tournament, can’t fire him until that path is gone.  A beat down by Purdue will get some fired up. I think we end up with 17 or 18 wins. Missing the tournament and then we move on. 

The fact that he has any leverage is all that needs to be said about how bad the IU basketball program is.

Yep isn't that pathetic.

Well imo if he isn't gone today and it likely looks like he isn't then they are committed to purdue and wisconsin imo. I guess I don't see the point in waiting till the season is lost. I don't get why anyone needs to see more embarrassing performances. The fans have clearly turned and the team and coaches look like they are clueless. I don't get it but I think it says alot about why we are in this situation. I guess I don't see why further damage needs done

Too bad, I wanted to see this top-5 NIL roster with Kenya.  That would at least give us a chance… but nope, more Woody.

This team, coached by Mike Woodson, against Purdue in Mackey. Nightmare fuel.

.....looking back, playing or coaching girls basketball, travel and HS Softball,.....I have never been a part of any program that was so out of touch and disconnected as this program. I don't know how this current team can do it day in and day out, trying to disassociated themselves from all the negativity. 

The current "Optics" are crystal clear. We are a rudderless ship right now and no clear sight of the harbor!

They remind me of politicians. Totally tone deaf to the voters. Same deal. They want us to be quiet and let Cathy run the process

if Kenny Payne finished the year at Louisville and they recovered, I think we'll be ok lol i get everybody is over this but there are only 10 (maybe 11) games left in the season.  Woodson isn't going to be the coach next year whether he finishes the year or doesn't finish the year.

We’re getting short changed

That was for one guy... Woodson needed 7 or 8. That probably explains a lot. /s

Honest question - does Tucker know how to pass the ball? 

He's never seen a shot he doesn't like. 

The problem is he hasn't been benched for shot selection before.  If that doesn't happen, that only acknowledges to him that his shot selection is okay with the staff.

Getting benched because his dad thinks he should be getting more playing time IMO just shows that Woody isn't about what makes the team better but rather is about showing the parent that no one can question him.  The truth is he SHOULD have been benched previously because of shot selection and if he had he would have learned quickly that it had to improve.

Let's face it, the reason the vitriol is so much about wanting Woodson to be fired goes beyond wins and losses and extends into what a pain of a human being he is.  People certainly wanted Archie fired but I don't think anyone had a hatred of him -- rather they just found him as an aloof person.

I actually finally agree!  I wanted him gone last year and again early this year but I agree with the above post to Woodson look as bad as possible.

If there are donors complaining now who supported keeping Woody after last season, it would be pretty sweet for Scott to say, "This is what you wanted.  I wanted to make a change, but you wanted to keep him.  Enjoy it."

And force them to go to every game and sit in the front row.  :)

1. HE'S NOT LEAVING UF FOR IU!!                 
2. whether he's a creeper or not.     :)
3. And his buyout is currently over $14 million - just signed an extension.
4. And why am I the guy that has to keep the list?
5. And my list (save for some miracle Stevens/May aberration) would be Byington, Calhoun, and Micah

What would be golden is if Woodson is fired.

Waaaayyyyy too much posts about Todd Golden in this thread when the dude has yet to win a single tournament game and to date his best finish in a conference was fourth.  We are aiming higher than that.

Yeah, that it hasn't been done by noon today, means it ain't happening for a while.  I never expected it.  

Any announcement will likely come between UCLA and Purdue 2.

I agree with this. Archie wasn’t a bad person nor did he rub others the wrong way, we just needed a change because he wasn’t the right fit.  Woodson on the other hand is a despicable human being that walked around with his chest pumped out and this real since of entitlement, and I am only scratching the surface.

And we almost lost. I didn't believe there is an ounce of good coaching talent on the bench.

What is it they call almost losing?

Wish we had almost lost the game to Maryland yesterday.

Yea I don't get it either. I think iu basketball is in uncharted territory. I know some on here think we can hire anyone and as long as they win things will be OK. I believe if someone comes in and wins things will eventually be OK but I think they have to go big name this time. This is the first time the program is truly in the dumps and the fans have left. I consider myself a huge fan and my enthusiasm is in the tank. I don'tr think a young unheard of or a truly umproven moves the needle. We need juice pumped in immediately! We need someone who day one brings the fans back and gets recruits excited to play here!
But first before any of that we need woodson gone!
