How Long Until Sisley De-Commits?

Was any action proposed to their students like they said they were going to do when our students will chanting Fire Walters?

The names and faces have changed, but the story remains the same.

IU has no choice. They have to replace Woody. I always felt he was a class act who represented the university well. It's a shame that his legacy will be that the finacial and other support he received was the envy of any other program, but he failed so badly the fans were literally screaming for him to be fired.

From hero to zero.

What's funny is... under a Knight coached IU team, those players probably would not even been dressed in uniform after half time, & definitely would not have played. Woody not only let them play, but played the entire second half. There is no dicipline on that team. How someone could chose IU over Purdue when the could come in and play a key role is beyond me. Like others said, they aren't a Purdue fit if that is there thinking.

Remind me of the Travis Perry commitment to Kentucky before Cal left - you just knew it didn't matter, he wanted to play for Kentucky regardless of the coach. I tend to think Sisley stays unless the new coach doesn't honor his scholarship, which would basically nuke in state recruiting. Only reason I see him backing off the commitment, overall toxicity of the fan base. Rag on IU all you want but that is tough to see fans actively booing you at home. If you are a parent talking to your kid, you might keep that in mind.

I don't know what the solution is for IU on the coaching front. I felt like having Fife and Matta being on staff set him up for success to handover the team in 2-3 years after reviving the team. Then came the exodus, not sure the true story behind either leaving, and now he has surrounded himself with yes men.

I don't think it is an easy answer to fix the program especially when you hit the restart button every 3-4 years.

Best way to not get boo'd is to actually put forth some effort. I mean the crowd tried their best to hype the team while down 20 but the players just didn't care. Players and coach don't care, why should the fans?

This is what you get when you buy an entire team. This forum brought that up quite a few times before the season started and it looks like it has all come true... quicker than I thought, but true regardless.

Well, that's what you get when you buy a team,......and have on his best day, an average coach.

I don't think Painter would take him.
I can't recall any player he has taken after he had offered and they had gone somewhere else.

This is shocking. If a Purdue, Illinois, MSU or many other school's player put forth so little effort, they'd be sitting their ass on the bench the rest of the game.

How do you fix that though? I honestly think what has happened the past couple of coaching cycles might deter other names from coming. You could be committing career suicide.

Holy yikes.

Get a coach with a backbone. Archie was just in way over his head. But even Creans first 3 years of teams put in more effort. They just weren't good. Those teams were absolutely awful but they put in some effort. It comes from the top. Woodson sleep walks everywhere he goes. Players follow suit.

That summarizes some on here too. But with a lot less playing experience.

But you also have to be a coach who is ready for the Big time. Archie wasn't. Woodson just absolutely sucks as a coach.
