But I could see him “splitting the baby:” being okay next year — say, a tournament team — but retiring then, and not necessarily setting up his successor with a great class. Suboptimal.

I think that's the best case realistic scenario...

I haven't read through all this thread recently so I'm not sure where the rumors are coming from.  I'm being told there could be a small shakeup with the coaching staff, but Woodson isn't going anywhere after this season unless he decides to step down which would be a surprise.  His plan was always 4-5 years and then retirement and his buyout makes it unlikely he is removed as coach after this season.

Maybe he sees the writing on the wall and decides to step down early but he is pretty oblivious to just how much people want him out at this time.

Hate to say I told you so but…

I guess I have to accept the news that Woody will be back but surely not status quo.  There surely must be some mandates, conditions, requirements, etc., that he's been told have to be implemented going forward and sitting around drinking wine, smoking cigars and playing golf while the ship sinks isn't acceptable.

Erase Erase Erase Erase Erase…..Life is good and throwing another Woody in the fireplace.

It’s not cursed. It’s incompetently run.

It’s tough when losers are leading losers. Ride that Submarine straight to the bottom.

I dont think they're trolls. Just think "insiders" are very far removed from what is actually happening. 

It's like the telephone game from people 4 spots removed by the time stuff gets to a message board. 

If I haven’t mentioned it lately, your damned reasonableness and nuance is really annoying sometimes. We need some smoking vitriol from you and it’s time to step up to the pump!

I genuinely don’t know what the long-term vision is. Even if you bite on the high end of the best case scenario, you keep the kids you want to keep, you hit on some useful portal pieces, you finish top 5 in the B1G, you get seeded in the 8-9 range and you win a game, you’re still going forward with a 67 yo HC with no succession plan and with nothing that could laughably be called momentum. And of the range of outcomes that is incredibly optomistic. I just don’t know what to say to that.
Side note: poll question: the over/under on canned Assistants is 1 1/2. Anybody on the under? 

This was always my thing. So what if Woodson has he decent year. Maybe he will, if he gets lucky in the portal. Maybe Chris Tucker can be our Drake and we can accumulate enough talent to be a top 25 team. Maybe. Then what? And that’s if things go well.

I hated this hire from the beginning and this conundrum we are in now is exactly why.

You don’t hire an Alum, bridge coach, with low energy because when he fails you can’t let him go until he really fails.

I’m tired of throwing away years to shitty basketball.

Exactly right.

We have a 66 year old coach on the hot seat. His contact only has 3 years left, and you certainly can't extend him. How is he going to recruit high school kids? Just rip off the band-aid now.

Oh and @Class of '66 Old Fart is going out of his way to welcome the new female members which is a problem for me since I am currently waiting out that relationship.

 

My eyes may wander but my heart stays true.

I’d say I’m interested to hear what Dolson has to say, but I’m not at all. Truly unbelievable
