They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[Home Jersey]

If there is no formal announcement today by 6pm I’m going to force myself to assume that just means he’s getting removed immediately and there will be a memo sent to media like 90 minutes before tip off tomorrow. Yes I am going through the stages of grief

Just out of curiosity, I googled the name of the current owner of Cook Group. He's Carl Cook, son of the late Bill Cook. And Carl Cook is a Purdue grad (engineering) and earned his MBA from Iowa. If he wanted to get his MBA from IU, he could've done it easily but somehow chose Iowa. So a Purdue grad is one of IU's biggest donors. Thought it was interesting.

Osterman speaks for Dolson, Osterman says nothing is resolved... maybe nothing is resolved yet. 

We have not yet heard from Scott Dolson. Mike Woodson, you will be fired! TODAY!

Were you there for his undergrad courses where he showed porno films to the class??? Oh yeah....me and DOC Sperber go waayyyyyy back....I was privy to a rather large opposition research file on Murray that I studied very thoroughly at one point......Yes, I have stories...

Ol Murray showed at a party at my frat around 2000-01. Just drank a couple beers, hung out in the corner and left. Didn't narc us or anything.

You can tell it's been a long time since I was in a place like that. HAHA is it water pipe

Listened to Eye on CBB on the way to the airport today, (IU starts a 35 minutes if anyone is interested) and the best part was Parrish taking a not so subtle shot at our “kinda sorta possibly open job.” He also reacted to the “unlikely to return next season” line with “no sh*t” lol

Edit: Also dragged (again I might add) for not canning him last year.

If Woodson is being the little child it sounds like dolson just needs to fire him and get this over with.

Yea,

Since Dusty will be “in the Hall” tomorrow I’m very surprised we haven’t heard anything.
The administration must know that’s it’s going to be fugly in the Hall Saturday without an announcement stating Woody is gone (either immediately or at the end of the season).

For the good of the program pull the friggin trigger!!!

I don't want Ferguson within 100 miles of assembly hall. He is a cancer on the program.

Firing his godson will definitely take care of that!  He should be proud!

I like it.  Making a change like this requires Dark Dolson

....I thought he drove a black, Lincoln Navigator.

I see it different. We wanted dusty but let's face it he was a risk. Michigan offered a conservative deal knowing they will have the opportunity to just up his deal if he is successful. I think they will do that soon but may wait to see what happens in big tournament? Dusty knew Michigan would be a good gig if he can succeed and had confidence he could knowing the big money will come and a better deal and bigger buyout. That has been my take and it makes sense to me. Having a small buyout hoping iu opens seems like a huge gamble. If we get him I am OK with it but him and iu would be taking a gigantic risk imo. I wouldn't leave a job that I have a real shot at succeeding to leave and go to a major crap shoot like iu is currently. I know he could do good here but it's not automatic

Fair point.  I didn’t see it that way.   
 

I also remember reading that allegedly, Dolson had Pearl and May basically lined up last offseason before QB intervened (again).  So that probably biased my line of thinking. 
 

I suppose time will tell. 

[Silat Player]

Well, not making any kind of solid announcement (or even subtley sending word through one of their preferred media outlets) is an ...uh...interesting decision on the part of Dolson.

Pat Forde says statement from IU coming within the hour.

Super nice guy but Kathy knows more about sports than Carl does. He loved Woodson last season. Had a buddy that went to a game with him last season. We were down 16 and he turned to my friend and said this is fun isn't it? My buddy just put his head down.

Idk I kinda envy people with that level of gleeful ignorance.

Unless I'm missing something and that guy is making decisions? I know the company is involved but is Carl?

This statement better be a work of art with how much fuss has gone into the details... lol
