They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[SlammySammy]

I usually feel bad for someone who loses their job but I don't know anybody who has quite the severance package that Woodward will walk away with so I think "no pity" is applicable in this instance.

Nobody tells the king when to retire. Screw it. I love iu so much I'm quitting right now.

There has to be a leak somewhere...come on. If student managers are leaking stuff, surely someone credible has something.

Unless...just maybe, our media isn't as plugged in as they portray?

My guess is the school doesn't want anything official out until they can talk to the team.

That would be really childish, and if true he shouldn't get a buyout for quitting.

If this story is true, then Woodson would be going out exactly the way that I would've expected. 

A perfect ending to his coaching tenure.

He has more in common with Bob Knight than I thought. 

Biggest differentiator: coaching ability.

lol - no.

No one is walking away from $8 million like that. He would have to have been given the choice to finish out or retire immediately.

I would be surprised.  I bet any forced retirement or whatever was agreed to still pays him out his contract.  I’d love to be wrong, but it would be too good to be true and Woody is all about the $.

Yeah I know he will get at least a good portion of the money.  But if he came in today and said, F off, I quit, he likely cost himself a few bucks.

Given his ego, he'll put himself in the same category as Bob Knight. A former great IU coach that was wronged by the administration and not set foot in Bloomington for decades. 

He can put himself into that category all he wants. However, Knight was revered, Woodson is loathed. Sadly Woodson is too arrogant to get that.....
