They “Retired” Coach Woodson Thread

So far my top two would be  1. Pearl 2. Oats 3. May  

Pearl just knows Ball and he can at least give us the correct perspective of what it takes to build and maintain a program. Plus if you think about it there is some upside. He would now work for blue blood program for his first time (at least I think we can be again). He has the southern recruit scene covered and with the Midwest ground that could give  us a chance for a final four run in a six year window.  Age is just a number for me but context matters. I was negative about Woodson but I wouldn’t be for Pearl. Pearl loves the entirety of college basketball. 

Oats is a younger version of Pearl and May, with a proper defensive assistant coach, can work as well. May at least has humility and doesn’t mind readjusting.

Hey I didn’t get coffee yet.

I just wish the timeline would line up for us where the right guy was the right age with the right pedigree. Any examples of this elsewhere where a job opens up and the perfect guy for that place is also available?

Obviously there have been lots of good hires in hindsight but a hypothetical would be like Dusty is coming off a few really good years at a high major right when the IU job comes available?

No way IU would agree to that. I think the direction we would like to head in a perfect world is Pearl till he retires and then Dusty

I don’t think Pearl would demand it. Besides it’s not like a team wouldn’t give his son a chance. Minnesota gave Pitino’s kid one…

Sounds like the best plan we’ve had in 25 years, if it actually comes to fruition.

And just look we've let you be negative over for years without banning. Not sure why I say we I don't have any part in it but we enjoy your negative side. 

Actually, I think LCS is on at least his 2nd if not 3rd reincarnation on btb.

Well, it has been two games. Baby steps

It's been 2 games? Didn't know exactly. The cluster fudge just blends all together at this point.

Folks are trying to talk themselves out of Pearl. Don’t. He’s a winner. Simple as that. He’s won at every single school he’s coached at. If he comes to IU he will win here too. Guaranteed. Now, he may only win for 5-6 years before he retires, but he will win. And you know what 5-6 years of winning does to the IU job? It makes it a helluva lot more attractive for the next hire.

I think 3rd but the sandwich has lasted about 4.5 years.

Expecting Dusty to be the guy in 4,5,6 years is pretty farfetched IMO.  By then they'll be many more shiny baubles to choose from.  Maybe Dusty's still one of them and maybe he's not.

Good morning folks.

Today we have a chance to move the needle further in removing Woodson from position. As much as it sucks to say this, Wisconsin needs to do their job and help us out.

I’m pretty torn on Pearl. There is no doubt he’s a winner and we’d be great. But probably only for a few years until he’s 70 and ready to retire. We are dying for stability. I wish we could CGI De-age him a couple years like Harrison Ford.

But if we hire him maybe we could get an Alimony's to open on Kirkwood.

From what I have heard we have a really good plan going forward. We just need to let Dolson work.

Yeah that's in a perfect world. That is him going to a P5 job and having success.

I just hope if Dusty that's a P5 job it's not at another Big Ten school like Ohio State. Especially if he kicks our butts.

Probably a good thing I'm heading into a meeting for the next couple of hours so I can keep my mouth shut.

Sounds like a chant for tonight’s game.
