They wanted an iu guy period they didn't care about credentials. They own this disaster
Trilly on the IU Head Coach Position
- Thread starter Tammany Hall
- Start date
Maybe. Quinn can only do so much. When bball revenue/donations start falling by millions of $, the numbers will start doing the talking.
He is the only coach I can think of that would instantly bring the passion and energy back to this program.
KenPom-wise, this team is considerably worse than Crean’s year 3 squad.
Everything that made Woodson a great player will not allow him to walk away from this mess voluntarily.
Why would he quinn has his back. He isn't leaving until things get much much worse.
Yea that’s your guess I get it.
There has to be some limit to what can be tolerated.
If a majority of the BOT backs change, assuming that's what Dolson wants, can the Board Chair veto their decision?
Another data point indicative of where sentiment is.
You absolutely CAN. When the coach has had 3 years to get this setup for success and has shit the bed in year 3 to this degree with no clear path for improvement next year…. THAT is how you can fire a coach after 1 terrible year.
I think Quinn’s influence is likely reducing with each loss. Where is Quinn’s support going to be if Woodson has zero or even one win remaining? I’d say he already used up some of his capital with the hire. If he is one remaining voice with power who wants to give Woodson another year, how much weight will that carry? He then starts looking like he wants to keep him for personal reasons instead of what is best for the program. I’d guess he would be quickly outmaneuvered.
Perfect example is how I went to the shit show in Atlanta against Auburn. That won’t happen again next year. Talk about embarrassing showing. I still took the beating watching games on TV, but at this point, I really don’t care if I miss a game. Apathy towards this program can lead to a permanent loss of a large swath of the fan base if they simply find something else. Then good luck getting them all back.
Yep. Political capital only goes so far. Especially if what you pushed for turned out to be a shit show.
Yes, exactly. Crean's 2nd year was worse, but 3rd year better. I left it at 3rd year, which is quite eye-opening.
Its not just one "bad" year by what IUs standards should be. It was one mediocre year, one ok year(that should be the baseline), and one dumpster fire shit year. Add all that up and it equals a "bad" 3 year stint.
How much worse can it get?! 8 or 9 consecutive losses, bottom of the big ten. Swept by Penn St., Northwestern, and Nebraska, not sure how much lower IU can go?
I haven't found anything that would suggest he does. So, if that's the case, his role, his authority, is likely being overstated.
Hello, fellow Chicago guy...
The McGinnis fiasco was so-McCaskey. A lot of similarities between how The Beloved and IU hoops are run
Only 8th?8th highest paid coaching position in College Basketball, at 4.2 million a year.
Mike Woodson’s new salary places him in the top-10 nationally, third in Big Ten
Is Mike Woodson’s 44-26 overall record and 2-2 mark in the NCAA Tournament good enough to earn him a top-10 salary in college basketball? IU thinks so. And there’s more to that than hi…www.thedailyhoosier.com
Your opinion is not based in reality.
That's a problem....typical IU
I keep reading about Woody destroying his legacy...
At some point, Quinn will realize he's destroying his legacy too
Yea. I’m sure he has some real influence, which we probably saw pushed Woody up the list last time. But if Dolson, Pam, donors and some other trustees are like look the team isn’t improving and we’re losing $, Quinn isn’t an Emperor/Dictator that will just say “no”. He will probably make the bar to change coaches higher, but not impossible.
It’s Indiana! We’re going to give it one more year to get even worse.
Quinn needs to stick to color commentary on Pacers games. His pushing of Woody has been a disaster.
Here's something that might not play too well on this page but, I bet Buckner still loves his alma mater and he wants to see it succeed. Just a crazy thought.
Or the Orlando Magic announcing Billy Donovan as their HC 😂
A
I seriously doubt the BoT has any actual authority over the matter.
I would not have guessed the AD has the power to fire the BB coach. I think both fire and hire decisions are run up the ladder. Mega donators, select BOT members, and a decision presented to the president.
First test question for a new coach, would you tell Galloway to stop
dribbling when he has 3 defenders on him?
More than anything else, THE PORTAL. Totally different day.
Hell in a hand basket and a weirdo Crean reference in the same post! 👏👏👏 😂
IU needs to lose all its remaining games. I don't take joy in saying that, but it's necessary for the future of this program.
I 100% hate that approach. But it’s true.
Yep. I mean, Woody just told the world he's done a piss poor job coaching the team (paraphrasing here) ... and Reneau said they should be much better than they are. Dolson, take their words seriously, bro.
