They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[WayneFleekHoosier]

I mostly want it for the players at this point. Give them some new juice. Some renewed hope. Something.

As far as the Admin.

They don’t want him to be embarrassed further. Although losing out or the last 80% of the games and missing the tournament again won’t be much better. And the buyout drops in March. They will wait if they feel like they can.

Tyme is spouting off again. Thinks the next coach will be some up and coming coach off the radar. And he/she is probably right about that.

I really hope the next person has a plan and vision to hit the portal and try to win right away. Gotta get a very confident guy in there.

I think Dolson is serious but I’m not sure who that coach is.

I think Wade and Beard would win. I don’t think I can handle Wade.

Were either found to be guilty of any wrong doing? So both just technically suspected of wrong doing, correct?

Only one coach was cleared (in the sense you’re interpreting) of any wrong doing. It wasn’t Beard by the way.

He was a year into the job and the most or second most powerful person at IU and his pals wanted Woodson.  What was Scott supposed to do?  Quinn could just flat out not approve whatever Scott wanted and Fergie could cut off NIL… they held all the cards.

Basically he wasn't really the AD then. It was in title only.

One way to put it, he wasn't for bball.  And that's our problem.  IU hires an AD, and then meddles with the job the AD should do.  Terrible management.

It’s going to get a lot worse if they let him keep coaching.  I assure you.  His senior day speech will be filled with racial rhetoric when he knows he’s about to be fired.  And don’t be surprised to see some awful 6 letter words from some of our crazy fans along the way too.  The administration has created a powder keg.  They own this.

It’s definitely going to get a whole lot worse for him as well as all of us IU fans. We want nothing but success, positive national attention, including rankings and an attractive tourney resume’ each year. All of these things attract talent and afford more wins year in and year out! 
I may be speaking for many others on here, but I am thoroughly embarrassed and “madder ‘n a mashed duck!” 
I’ve seen success when we were regularly on top of the mountain and know how glorious it felt. In 1987 I was on campus in Wright Quad lobby with my girlfriend watching the National Championship game.
When Keith Smart hit that shot to win it all was a euphoric memory that I will cherish for ever! Everyone flooded the exit doors screaming and yelling at the top of our lungs! We hit Showalter Fountain then onto Kirkwood for more pandemonium!

If you were there it was absolute paradise!!! I miss the love and admiration we all had for Indiana University. We were an absolute machine! Sorry, I just got caught up in that time warp!

Go IU!!!

Beard is probably the one coach who would take the IU job that I wouldn't have much concern with him being able to win. He has the chops, the demeanor, and the personality to succeed here. Not many do. 

That being said, I don't think the admin would even give him an interview.

Well you never know.  Most people have skeletons in their closet, but what you have done after that is what should matter.

I was living at Colonial Crest Apts which are now gone. We threw a keger and all of our hometown buddies attending Purdue came down for the game. I was also at yesterday’s game. Up 4 with 50 seconds left, espn had us at a 90% chance of winning. It didn’t take into account our coach. Fire Woodson!

But...he wasn't found guilty.  Isn't that cleared of any wrong doing?   I thought you were innocent until PROVEN guilty?!

I’m with you!  You sound old enough to remember the 1981 National Championship team too.  That was my senior year in high school, it was a 32 team field then and one of my classmates done a draw, which was $2 a pick.  He put all 32 teams in a cup and I drew IU and I said here is the winner, everyone laughed but I had the last laugh!  It was great and so was the 1976 team.  Great time for Hoosier basketball, it’s sucked the last 23 years.

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

But Braden Smith wasn't going to be very good this year without the Big Fella, at least according to some on here.

Not true.

I think he meant average, which is actually 75.4.

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

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.

Trying to set the record for thread posts maybe? How many ways can we say fire Coach Woodson.

Yes, I am…..I do remember the 1981 National Championship! I graduated in 1986, but I was in middle school in ‘81 and knew then when I graduated Martinsville HS, that IU was the ONLY college I would attend and proudly graduate from!

True dat—we gave up only 74 to Rutger and 69 to USC! Quick scan reading by me is sucky reading.

And 71 to Penn state

Can we get back to firing Woodson?

We play Purdue on Friday.  Wisconsin isn’t until a WEEK from Tuesday.

I didn't mean to nit pick... the specific numbers were off a bit... but was close enough to build a case to FIRE MIKE WOODSON.

I wonder if Woodson left at 5 this afternoon, earlier or is still there? Lol
