They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

[Hornsby]

Well the only reason i bought in was the roles Thad Matta and Dane Fife were playing in this and even that, I was still curious to see how it was going to work.  When he fired Fife and Marta’s role became insignificant and then he left, I sorta of knew then and started to become skeptical.  Mike Woodson was starting to show his true colors and everything snowballed from there.  MW wasn’t a good person and his sense of entitlement and arrogance really truly turned me off him.  He wasn’t worth $200 k / year and yet they paid him over $4 million/year.  What a freaking rip off.

He doesn't seem like a good guy to me. Seems the opposite. Not sure where the whole woodson is a great guy stuff started. I'm not seeing it at all.

Lol

Gotta get them over The Hump," was a favorite.

 

Woodson used the word "Hump" so many times there will a $10,000 fine the first time the next Indiana coach uses that word.

 

"It's on me," Woodson might say.

 

Considering he is being paid more than $4 million per year, that seemed reasonable.

 

"I wish I knew," Woodson would say.

 

Considering he is being paid more than $4 million per year, that said a lot without saying anything.

 

"It's hard for me to explain," was another

I wish you could all go back to his first couple radio shows. He admitted he didn't know anything about college rules. Fisch had to correct and explain basic college rules. I knew then we may have problems

With this thread also soon to be retired, do we need to worry about @Hornsby? Are you going to be ok?

[coonhounds]

I swear I started a fire woodson thread and thought maybe a bit to early in year 2 and deleted. I believe someone else started one that gained some traction then was also deleted? Anyone remember that?

I didn’t say that!  Were you thinking that?  I’m a little confused!  I actually think the guy is a real piece of crap!  A terrible human being

I didn't mean you I meant others saying he is a good guy and deserves our respect. I have zero respect for him.

Feel like I should put my true feelings out here after a few beers. This dude truly deserves to be fired. He stinks by almost every standard. He deserves credit for developing a few players and that may be a stretch. Tjd ware and hood. Everyone else kind of struggled or regressed or stayed same. The proof is in the results. For four years we were capable of beating almost anyone and we damb sure could lose to everyone. He was a great player and that is great. Bad coach and that sucks.
Just remember playing for knight and coaching with knight are very different things. The interview with pat was interesting when he said the first time he seen behind the curtain was when he was assistant at tech. I am really not sure what Woodson thought he was doing but coaching and game prep he certainly was not. He deserves to be fired. The results are that bad.

Everybody is.  That’s the truth.  Whether it’s posted here or other places. 
 

Doyel article.  Woodson was an egomaniac

I don't think it would be as simple as you make it sound. At least we can count down until he is gone now. 

Why not?  Why would Dolson say anything but "ok, let me help you pack?"  You're trying to convince me that Dolson said, "no wait Mike, let's not make a rash decision.  You should stick around and get the team over the hump."  Sometimes you take the win when the other team gives it to you.  The second Mike says "I quit" you book it.  No tag backs.

If he had really quit dolson should have walked him to the door. Thinking that never happened because why in the world would you want him to stay.

What are the odds that he will put in a 3 big lineup (Ballo, Hatton, and Reneau)  at one point in a game here soon?  I say they are about 80% chance it happens just because he can.

Make it 4 give some PT to Dallas.

Was probably not “I quit” and “you have to fire me” 

In any case not interested in litigating this. What’s done is done. He’s gone after the year. Hire a winner.

Yeah, that's not what was said though.  But I hear you.  Time to track those flights.  :)

We have 8 regular season games and potentially a BTT game, if we are lucky enough to make it.

This thread will still be getting plenty of action.

It may just be me talking to myself for 20 pages, but it will be rolling for another month or so. Lol... half kidding...

Oh, I’m sure there will be another hundred pages of Hornsby worried that Woody is coming back.
