Then again, maybe it's Dolson forcing him out - paranoid about TM being the AD in waiting 😉 Totally, I don't think he is being forced out. But sounds like Woodson was not utilizing Matta much either. I think Dolson's plan to have "babysitters" did not work out like was intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or….Matta knew Collier was going to be retiring soon and wanted a “first step” kind of job as an admin. Either way, having Thad Matta on staff for even just a year isn’t a bad thing at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a combination of all of this. I also think that Collier might not have planned on stepping down just yet but LaVall fell on his face and he doesn’t want to be the one to show him the door so he’s going to let the new AD do that.

Do you care to clarify this? How has it not worked out to give a new (to College) coach a support group to navigate his first year? Met fans expectation, check. No violations, Check. Now graduating to adjust the team skill set, check. Building a culture, check. If other things were intended, what do you think those intentions were? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Woodson liked the idea that he needed sitters if you believe guys like Rabjohns. Not wanting to go into things really any deeper than that. We have our staff, they are going to get the opportunity to do things in the manner they see fit, and we all hope it means more wins for the program. We had an up and down season. Woodson got the team to recover in March to get us to a point where he met my expectations. I honestly kind of aired by complaints after Fife was let go and I am just going to kind of sit back and let Woodson do his thing this summer and see what we get next winter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I appreciate you. I doubt anyone would appreciate having some babysitters imposed on them, but if given a team of people experienced in the field to help "you" navigate the first year on the job... I think most people would be receptive. Also during that period, a member of that group (i.e. Matta) gained some experience in a field he has targeted for in the future, and after the stated first objective was successfully completed, how did it not work out? Now Woody has had a mentor crew, It's time to put his final, personal stamp on it. And as o your feelings.. I resemble Dane a lot. His problem was just that his boss is much much stronger than mine. ... Dane's a grown man. He knows why he isn't here any longer. ANYONE with this level of knowledge and skill, never honestly has to ask why they were let go, they already know 100%. I'd support Dane as the Butler coach 100%!
