By putting anyones names up without a press release is rumor and shouldn't be posted.

FWIW , Sent to me today Rabjohns on peegs has been pretty steadfast in assertion that Woodson would be the coach. Well in his weekly update the tone has for sure changed. Now, to the coaching situation. Countless people have asked, so I’m going to do my best to lay out what I’ve gathered the past 48 hours or so: I don’t want to make it a day to day thing, but to ignore the crescendo of fan sentiment right now would be akin to standing in front of a 15-car pileup at the Dayton 500 and discussing the pretty logos on the infield grass. Fans are hot. Former players have been reaching out to the administration in more direct tones. There are people around current players who are, shall we say, less than thrilled with Woodson calling players “awful,” etc., in public. People are announcing here on the board that they are pulling five-figure donations. In short, the temperature in the room is getting rather toasty. As things stand today, it seems the likely scenario is that the season plays out, end of season meetings occur and a decision one way or another is made. I do think Woodson will be asked to lay out a plan for how he would right the ship. Quinn Buckner, former IU great and the chairman of the IU board of trustees, has, we’ve been told, made it clear he feels Woodson deserves a fourth year to get things turned around. There are some big boosters who are behind Woodson as well. Now, what will the temperature in the room be like at the end of the season? Time will tell on that. I do expect the rest of the regular season to play out. I do not expect Indiana to follow Ohio State’s footsteps and fire a coach in-season. IU has five regular-season games remaining plus the Big Ten Tournament.

@EasyEJay this is the big issue I see for IU. The natives have been clamoring for an “IU guy”, well they got him…….now what? After and endless parade of throw away coaches and poor hires, perhaps we need to look more closely at the people making the hires. IU has been irrelevant big time college sports for years, judging from recent history if you’re an IU fan, I’d get used to it.

Trilly predicts 5-star Big man and teammate of IU comitt Liam McNeeley to Maryland. IU loses out on the Big man to arguably the only program having as big of a let down this year as IU...…. insult meet injury. BS rumor told to IU people was IU could not convince Queen that Ware was bound for the pros ........ sure This means most likely a 1 man 2024 class for IU, beyond sad. IU will most likely bring in 7-8 portal players, as much a Woodson laments about how hard it is to get new/young guys to play together seems like not the ideal strategy for turning the program around, I still am of the belief his Ole buddy Buckner will get him one more year BUT next year will just be too much pressure on a 66 year old coach.

Why do you hate history? More of the 'cancel culture'............
