Let this sink in

Mike Woodson..

Scott had called me and said he wanted to speak with me, and he wanted to do a Zoom. And I told him, I said, if you're interested in Mike Woodson, either I get on a plane or you get on a plane and you come see me.

Red flag....
 
good stat.

He needs to win the next 5 games.

They are 0-3 against solid teams and have only an 8-3 record with about 15 games against good teams remaining. In 2 of 3 years, he has only won 35-42% of those, so that would mean about 6-7 wins against good teams. Add the 8 wins they have now, and assume they beat all 5 bad teams remaining on the schedule....

That's 19-20 wins max. Looking at 20-11 as absolute best case scenario. Anything more would be considered significant improvement over the past.
 
yet Florida is on their 2nd successful coach since he was hired
Who was the first, Mike White? Wasn't he fired?

But, they impressed me last night vs UNC, and that was a super entertaining game. UF was blowing them out at half and they said Hubert railed on UNC's toughness, and guess what? They responded. Looked like a different team in the 2nd half and they definitely knocked UF back, but they hung in there and eaked out the win. UF played hard and tough and still utilized modern basketball.

The one word that comes to my mind is -

PATHETIC!

He can't be gone soon enough for me.
DMWS (Dead Man Walking Season). The way this team looks, I don't see anyway he survives. He can have as many friends as he wants on the BOT and boosters, but the AD/Admin will ultimately demand some level of success, even if they define it by tix sold or fannies in seats. I think we're headed for monumentally low fan interest if this team doesn't start playing better.

My thought is, will he survive the season? I have a feeling if the L's pile up he's going to become even more agitated and questions and tension are only going to ratchet up. I think with his abrasiveness, he's due for a blow up with a reporter, which probably can be overcome, or on the bench with his, or opposing coaches, and not sure that can be, depending on the severity. Hiring an "IU guy" has now been tried, and it's a failure if that guy is not also a good coach.

A DWI is too much to hope for.
 
I think Woody is starting to grasp that he is no longer doing us a favor.
He was ridiculous in the press conference after the Nebraska game, blankly staring at the stat sheet the entire time while complaining about the players missing shots and playing crap defense.

and they may be looking for their third, pending the investigation. And the Gators are undefeated, like UTenn.
What is going on in the SEC? 9 teams in the top 25 and holding down 1,2,4 !?
best conference in basketball by far, destroyed the ACC in their challenge. what's changed is they care about basketball now. 20 years ago, UK and a few others where the only schools invested. everyone thinks would be easy to poach Beard from Ole Miss, I don't think so
 
The "real fans" would scold us for looking at those stats and forming a conclusion that was anything other than we aren't loyal.
I'm sick of getting clobbered. Double digit blow out at Nebraska, really?
We need to schedule someone easy we can beat, like the Poor Handmaidens followed by their JV team.
