What I can’t grasp is by coming out in support of Woodson you’re saying “we trust he’s the man for the job.” That puts your neck on the line with him. Even more so. Why??? Why do that??

I KNEW IT! And wait till the players start leaving. Holy 💩 this administration or whoever is actually in control, are worthless.

Wikipedia is your friend and or just a general knowledge of all sports helps. Google can also be a fun friend. Good luck!

Wow 😂 I’m not going to dig into all this because it’s an IU board but your friends have some legit issues.

Tennessee Vols FB fan IU Hoops fan (long story) here. It’s been ironic that both are top 10 or so programs in their sports of all time. Legendary pasts and both in their darkest years. Heres what I’ve seen as the difference. The Volunteer Nation eventually said enough is enough. They hesrd a coach was going to be hired that they knew was a bad hire (leaked into the press) and the fans went NUTS. They literally took back their program. Thru social media, pressuring boosters, board and Presidents and protesting. They Forced the school to not hire that coach. Those fans refuse to NOT get their program back to the point it was. I watched a PRESS CONFERENCE with the President of the University addressing the fans with a full commitment to return the proud history of UT football back to championship level. She felt the heat as the PRESIDENT and so did the board. And the program is headed back. You can see it happening. Our fans are soft. Our boosters are soft. Everyone is sad or defeated but no one is standing up and saying “I swear we’ll replace every board member, the president and AD if we have to to get OUR program BACK. Alumni and general public need grassroots stuff happening. It’s a public institution. Alumni take back your program!

This is exactly right. We could high end do what you just described and he’d feel he’s got us going good. He’s delusional and this whole thing is a wreck

I’m sure you are. I’d assume you’re probably asking your sources “WTF DUDE?!” lol 🤦🏻‍♂️😅😩

How is this possible? How?!! This is demoralizing 😞😩

If this is true this is AWFUL. Notice so many of us keep saying “if” because as obvious that it must be true is, it just plain seems impossible.

My theory if what you’ve heard said has truth to it… Woodson has agreed to retire. they support him till retires at season’s end best for both parties

If this is true it’s going to take a miracle for Woodsen to rally the troops meaning the fanbase and team.

Gosh I don’t want to be mean but even his picture and conversation of him as a coach here gives me the creeps

I disagree with you on this topic 100% but the terms amateur hour and bush league need to be brought back into my vocabulary more often so thank you. 💪🏻😎

Dude that 💩 was funny well played

Most people are semi self aware. I’ve met my fair share who lack it completely and live in a dream world that isn’t close to reality. He might very well be one of those types of people. There’s certainly evidence to back that claim up.

Well the more Woodson opens his mouth the worse he’s making it for himself so maybe we just do one of those live mics on him 24/7 with a live feed and let him dig his own grave even more maybe by “inside out” he meant a good anemia that he needs to clear his mind and think straight. We can only hope.

So as we can reflect I’d say most of us would agree that in hindsight BOTH Crean AND Miller had a higher upside and more potential to have success here and we followed them both up with a LESS qualified candidate with LESS of a potential to succeed. If Quinn is responsible the guy should be banned for a year from all things IU. Put his butt in a timeout

Crean’s infatuation with wings, lack of consistent roster building, burn his players out conditioning and questionable play calling in tight games were all widely known and a frustration at Marquette. Nothing changed at all at IU he'd have a good team for a year or two then massive rebuilds for years between at Marquette. He had shown no ability to build a program that could be good all the time and great every 2-3 years. It was feast or famine with him.

He was no question.

I knew the Crean hire would fail. I felt in the minority on that but I followed him at Marquette living in WI and I knew what we’d get and it turned out exactly that way. i was underwhelmed but open minded to Archie. Liked his personality at first anyway. That failed. I was so bummed with Woodson hire. Epically bummed. 😩

If there’s anything to all the rumors I’d assume they’ll continue to pick up. And the silence of Dolsom is defining because when there’s fans calling for the coach and you don’t publically support him it kills recruiting. As if Woodson isn’t doing enough of that on his own. so I sense there’s brewing absolutely happening. Whether it pans out or not idk.

Bingo. And some games are bigger than others. And IF it’s true he said he’d be there and then didn’t even have an asst come, that isn’t just not a positive that is a HUGE negative in forming a relationship. Imagine you’re a kid trying to decide and for YOU this is a huge moment in your life and other coaches show up and one doesn’t? Think that single moment isn’t going to make a big impression? Fooling yourself if you say otherwise. It’s been proven time and again the biggest factor for these kids to decide on a school is the relationship they have with the head coach and staff. You build that relationship over time but you can wreck it VERY quickly. Great recruiters are seizing every moment they can to build that relationship with the kid and family. It’s extremely competitive. Missing a game like this is huge. It’s not another regular season game it’s one where a recruit EXPECTS to see the coaches. Woodson screwed up HUGE on this one game. THIS one he must be at and he wasn’t and didn’t have a legit excuse. That’s enormous

Some don’t get it. They look at it way too simplified. That it’s merely “coach shows up at a game and he gets a recruit or loses a recruit.” that’s pure ignorance of how this game within a game is played and works or fails

You’re proving how little you know about recruiting. But that’s fine. Have at it
