Fife Gone

I’m not sure I saw Fife speak to Woodson once all last year. He was MIA. There were some sweet tic toc videos of “Ya” not to be confused with “Ye”

I wanted it to work out, but there can only be one head coach. Using the term "head coach in waiting" was disrespectful to Woodson. Sounds like there were many things behind the scenes that didn't sit right between them CMW needs an assistant he knows and trusts. Would Randy Wittman be open to a permanent role?
F that. Fife was never head coach in waiting. Only dumbass forum members even suggested that. Woodson doesn’t like those that disagree with him.

If Woodson hires Whitman full time, he will solidify the fact that he only cares about himself and his friends. Whitman would be a complete joke as an assistant coach.
 
I will just add this as something I randomly saw and wasnt actively searching

''I think it’s not basketball related. One of my vendors used to be neighbors with Dane’s parents and is still close to the family. He told me a couple months ago that Dane’s mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and very shortly after they discovered his Dad has Alzheimer’s. The whole family is pretty devastated I was kind of expecting Dane to leave the team earlier.''

Maybe they can focus on Medicare or trading crypto instead of using IU for retirement.

Ha only kidding… low hanging fruit
 
Looking at most of those....if they're true, how on earth did he last at MSU for 10 years?

NIL is a new thing, so that probably wouldn't have factored. Neither would the circumstances of his hiring -- whether CMW wanted him or was consulted.

But all the rest of those? If that's how he operates as an assistant, he'd never have lasted with Izzo. Offering a scholarship to a recruit after being told not to? Seriously? I can't believe he'd do that. If he did, I'm surprised he wasn't fired on the spot.
I imagine he’d act a lot differently under Izzo, a guy who coached forever, versus Woody, who has never been a college coach. I also think it’s interesting that Woody made it obvious he was firing him, not giving Fife the opportunity to move on / resign. Must have been a lot of bad blood.

Exactly. Leave it to the resident Purdue fan to explain how things should have gone down.

I thought they had a game this week?
I understand the confusion as to whether they have a game or not...being that the NCAA tournament is happening and all, never mind the actual second weekend of it.

Sounds like they gave him the option to resign and he said no
 
Fife won’t be the last assistant to leave this off-season, and Lander won’t be the last transfer. Everything that was reported was correct.
I don’t think it takes a genius to figure that out. Of course there’s going to be transfers. Lots of rumors of Ye to Louisville now.
 
Good enough for a decade at MSU.... but can't get to his 2nd year here? Gotta be more to it than that.
It is amazing for years we talked about having fife back we needed players like him. The next thing you know he is gone and he is getting slammed all over the internet. There are two sides to every story would be interesting to see what the players say and fife himself. Probably will never know but it's just hard to imagine fife is as horrible as he is being made out to be or how did he last 10 years at MS. Is it possible dolson made him huge promises on his role and Woodson had other ideas? Dolson put them both in a no win situation?
 
He isn’t pushing politics. Fife was pushing political rhetoric to recruits. Pissed Dolson and Woody off. That’s what he’s saying.
I’m sure that went over well with the majority of our players and recruits, if true. Lol

Is that really what you think this is about? I'd love to hear some actual facts on this which I doubt any of you have any. My God this place is beyond belief. You are sure if true that went over, well just how? You have some internal knowledge about this? Or just because you think you are always right about everything? I have said and said keep politics off this board but when people like you post this crap acting like you have some great internal knowledge? Reality is you have no clue but jumped on it like a mouse on fresh cheese.

Dude how do you know if even true and if so that he was talking about what you assume he was talking about. I thought this was not the water board but you just brought politics into it. Good lord.

So fife now enemy number one. It's amazing how fast people turned on him took two hours. He went from being the next iu coach to an enemy. I guess he is the new Mike Davis.
Lighten up Francis. It's a joke.
