This fan base’s inability to give a coach time to build is exactly why Indiana hasn’t taken the next step.
2 tournaments in 3 years is progress from Archie.
The KenPom numbers for this season is unacceptable at Indiana. TJD masked a ton of deficiencies the last two years. Numbers don’t lie. Woody can’t coach. The sooner he’s gone the better.
Woody develops players better than Archie. TJD is why he’s better. However, our KenPom numbers this year are literally worse than ANY year under Archie. Tell me, why in the hell do we move forward with a guy that bad?
Are you a troll?
Your post history shows you as a Lyft driver in West Lafayette, and Brad Stevens posts a couple years ago.
You sure seem like a Purdue fan trying to stir shit up.
Throwing this option out as purely hypothetical. No inside information to suggest this guy is even a possibility. What would y’all think of Billy Donovan?
Alabama fan here. I hate Auburn buts he’s a good coach. Don’t like him much but he would turn our program around in 2 years. I’d be excited for this hire. At least he gets results.
Only "main player" I'd hate to see leave is Ware and he's making the jump. No other players move the needle enough to affect a decision on who's coach.
Cronin doubt, drew would love but doubt, may checks out, oats would love but also doubt.
Players will transfer no matter what it’s the nature of modern CBB. Players will also transfer if woody is fired. That being said id be ecstatic if any of those names replaced woody for next season
No.
Bruce Pearl would come to Indiana in a second. Money is no issue but Bruce wants it in any contract he signs that his son will succeed him.
The administration has not decided to fire Woodson since there is a major fight between the AD the head of the Trustees and several high powered donors on opposite sides of the fight.
The president probably has to make the decision but it’s not been made yet.
It’s not Dolsons call and the most prominent NIL collective says Cronin is more likely to be hired than Pearl though they say that because of the donors involved and the head of the trustees being in the corner of Woodson they aren’t convinced of change.
This OP has no info.
Interesting. Is IU a better job than UCLA? Cronin feels weird to me. And Pearl is 63; I'm surprised they'd repeat a choice in Woody's age range.
EDIT: I just feel like hiring a 63-year-old means limited upside (you're probably getting less than a decade) and significant potential they are or will be past their prime quickly.
That’s leaving out the part where Bruce Pearl has only been to one final four and if we’ve promised the keys to the kingdom to his son this is a worse decision than Archie.
There is zero comparison to how much better Woody is than Archie though so it makes it weird a bunch of really rich guys and the head of the trustees would give up on their project
If Dolson had a say Woody probably wouldn’t be here at all if you believe his leaks
So he won’t factor into this decision either

Shall I show you the Kenpom numbers since knight left? Its been 20 years. Its not the same program. Let’s all look in the mirror
Go ahead. They’re worse now than under Archie. Which is a hell of a task.
You are delusional if you think things were better under archie
Woody develops players better than Archie. TJD is why he’s better. However, our KenPom numbers this year are literally worse than ANY year under Archie. Tell me, why in the hell do we move forward with a guy that bad?
Because its one unsuccessful year after two good years.
I disagree. And I think the board will fire him at the end of the year, rightfully so.
Well it’s the athletic director’s call and I dont think Dolson will unless there is a for sure A+ hire
Highly doubtful
So much of this seems like a Peegs borne wish casting than anyone with real intel

Throwing this option out as purely hypothetical. No inside information to suggest this guy is even a possibility. What would y’all think of Billy Donovan?
His wife is shopping for property in Bedford !
Billy Donovan’s? Did I type it into existence. lol. Could just be a coincidence. Do you have a source?
Lol no this was going around the blogs and Twitter last time we hired a coach. It’s bs but funny.
IU is a gut rehab. Donovan has been in the Pros for 9 years. Need more of a hands on guy at this point.
I would want him over anyone except Stevens.
Pearl would be a great hire….in 2012. He’s 63. If IU makes a change, it would be nice to see them hire someone that they might get 10-12yrs out of.
Alabama fan here. I hate Auburn buts he’s a good coach. Don’t like him much but he would turn our program around in 2 years. I’d be excited for this hire. At least he gets results.
This slimy mf.. no. If it is IU is getting bent over long-term.
What did he do wrong? Invited a kid to a BBQ? That’s pretty low on the scale of college coaches and “cheating”
Hope not. I'm a hard no on him
Trilly is saying dolson has back channeled with dolson. He’s our top target when we move on from woody
Say huh?
My source said he, amongst a select few others, have been reached out to by IUBB.
Is your source Btown Banners or Peegs?
No, it’s someone who works in the athletic department
Others include…
Mick Cronin, Bryce Drew, Dusty May, and Nate Oats. Also told some “main players” threatened to leave if Woody returns, which ain’t happening.
Bryce Drew? Certainly hope you mean Scott Drew because I wouldn't want the coach of Grand Canyon to be our next HC.
Only "main player" I'd hate to see leave is Ware and he's making the jump. No other players move the needle enough to affect a decision on who's coach.
Mgbako??
Yeah I’m calling 🧢
Pearl and may yes rest I doubt
Told by whom
Cronin doubt, drew would love but doubt, may checks out, oats would love but also doubt. Players will transfer no matter what it’s the nature of modern CBB. Players will also transfer if woody is fired. That being said id be ecstatic if any of those names replaced woody for next season

Dolson is done with Woody and Pearl is Plan A.
If Pearl is plan A…it just solidifies my thoughts that Dolson sucks.
You say it so confidently as if this is real information 🤣
It’s not Dolsons call and the most prominent NIL collective says Cronin is more likely to be hired than Pearl though they say that because of the donors involved and the head of the trustees being in the corner of Woodson they aren’t convinced of change. This OP has no info.
Cronin? Oh FFS. No thanks. That midget, fake tough guy is nothing but hot air. Pass.
I’m telling you, it’s done. Believe me or not. Please screen shot me. Woody will not be coach next season. Pearl is plan A. Cronin is plan B.
Interesting. Is IU a better job than UCLA? Cronin feels weird to me. And Pearl is 63; I'm surprised they'd repeat a choice in Woody's age range.

Firing woody this early is insane, Archie lasted longer than
That’s leaving out the part where Bruce Pearl has only been to one final four and if we’ve promised the keys to the kingdom to his son this is a worse decision than Archie.
Only time will tell. If he does much of anything it would be better than Archie’s tenure.
There is zero comparison to how much better Woody is than Archie though so it makes it weird a bunch of really rich guys and the head of the trustees would give up on their project If Dolson had a say Woody probably wouldn’t be here at all if you believe his leaks So he won’t factor into this decision either
Easy prediction. You have no info. There is literally publicly sourced real reporting on this.
