I have always viewed his dismissal from OSU as a scapegoat move. Can't prove it though.

At least one school of thought is that this is a matter of TENN being overcommitted. That they are looking to thin some recruits out to make room for the major recruits.

I believe backup center Wes Rogers has confirmed that he is coming back for his final year of eligibility also. 

We seem to have the connections with local schools, we're just not locking them down. I think IU's chances of recruiting success will always be half local, half south.    The Kentucky model? lol, we seem to have lost the ones we went head to head with UK on. For what good ts done them.   Dead period is over, there were multiple recruits on campus this week.

The other side of that is that in recruiting the Midwest we are competing against OSU, MI, PSU, ND, etc. in a shallower talent pool. Just recruit them where they are, if they're the guy you want.

Have to admit, Coach Allen's photo has a definite Frankenstein quality, and Coach Caton could be the Igor.

Some articles about this hire.   http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/bulls/usf-loses-tom-allen-to-indiana/2261606   http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/hoosier-insider/2016/01/16/hoosiers-tap-indiana-native-tom-allen-defensive-coordinator/78901596/   @FakeCoachWilson ‏@FakeCoachWilson  14h14 hours ago Top priority in new hires was the ability to take scary photos. #iufb       

I think it is a great move. I was a apologist for Knorr this season, and that was easy to be. I would not have been surprised to see us stick with him. Given more time, getting more of his recruits in, etc. and I think Knorr would have fielded a respectable defense. But this is B1G football and at some point you have to take the guys you have and make it at least respectable. CKW has made comments lately about the defensive culture, and I think that's going to be the kicker, not the scheme.   Wish Coach Knorr the best, I'm sure he'll land on his feet. 

And no dickchat.

So far I've seen nothing but speculation.

They kind of go hand in hand. This is apparently a guy Auburn wanted, so he should know his stuff.

Haven't seen what kind of deal CKW worked out. Might be a much better pay rate than that.

4-2-5.....geez, Natty, as if our secondary isn't weak enough without only leaving 2 back there.

Probably had a planned announcement, but the Tampa Bay Times got a early leak before IU got it done. 

The field goal was good.

I'm betting that in most, if not every case, one guy is the boss, but the titles are often used to give additional pay to the other.

Despite his two years at IU, Knorr has a pretty good record, and I'm betting he could pick up another DC position rather than a demotion.

Hard to say. But there were a number of recruits that both USF and IU were after. It was going to be a very interesting few weeks leading up to signing day already, but it might have just got more so. Would love to see a press release from IU about this.

Might be. Can't believe that Knorr's departure would not have been announced before a new hire. Very interesting.

Could be really interesting even in this recruiting cycle. He is Colin Miller's recruiter to USF, and USF has the interest of a number of IU recruits for this year, including Craig Watts.

South Florida: Linebackers / assistant head coach / special teams coordinator Raymond Woodie has been promoted to defensive coordinator, and previous defensive coordinator Tom Allen has accepted the defensive coordinator job at Indiana, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Making a late hard run at him. Lock him down Coach!

I've seen nothing about the contract being made public. I assume there are a lot of interesting details in there, but until its released, who knows?
