For letting Tom Allen sign Carey to a 2 year deal and making it even harder to fire Allen at the end of the year.

Just another bad decision by the IU administration and head coach, Lets start the Fire Scott Dolson Thread

How many more games until Tom Allen gets fired? Does he make it to the Purdue game?

Hopefully the additional compensation for Carey is coming out of Tom Allen’s salary

The reason we couldn’t hire a good OC was that Tom was making them keep Darren Hiller as the oline coach and by that point, coaches started to see Tom Allen was in over his head and was getting exposed as a coach. No promising young coaches want to join a sinking ship. If we are willing to pay $5M along with a good staff budget, IU should be able to find someone. Also, it sounds like Indiana will invest in Memorial Stadium renovations and a new weight room/football facilities. The administration should be able to sell a $5M salary, continued renovations, conference stability, and point to that if you build the program correctly you can win at Indiana(Kevin Wilson/Tom Allen success) Also, the Big Ten media money increases soon and Indiana’s coach will have advantages coaches in the Big 12 and ACC do not have.

At least we are winning the time of possession battle

Time for a contract extension after that big win. #LEO

The Hoosiers are 2-10 in the last 12 games, at this point everyone can see Tom Allen is not the answer. The reasons for the 2 year success(2019-2020) period were on display yesterday Deboer and Penix destroying Michigan State on the road and Kane Wommack and his South Alabama Jaguars beating Oklahoma State 33-7 on the road. When will the administration be ok with moving on and how big of buyout are they willing to pay? Will they invest in the next coaching hire with a real search? If not, we might as well save the buyout money because it will be more of the same with a new coach.

When does IU move on from Tom Allen? After this year with a $20M buyout or after the 2024 with an $8M buyout? If IU moves on, will we go after a proven coach in the ACC or Big 12 with all the uncertainty regarding conference realignment? Or will it be more of the same MAC level coaches?

Tom Allen to Northwestern? A high character coach like him would be perfect for them right now.

Take the money they are trying to spend on buying out games and spend it on Tom Allen’s buyout, then actually invest in a coach and an assistant coaching staff. Buying out games for us to loose to another power 5 or AAC school is a bad idea.(per big ten rules we need a Power 5 or AAC school on the schedule)

Just to make everyone even more confident in the direction of the program, Indiana is down to 9 commitments in the class of 2023. AJ Thomas a 3 star recruit flipped to Tulane last night.

Kevin Wilson was not a clown, he was just an *******. I will take an ******* that knows what he is doing over a clown any day.

Indiana was his only offer from a Power 5 conference. I would not classify this as a strong get. Offer list includes East Carolina, Charlotte, New Mexico State, Norfolk State, and Western Carolina.

Allen’s buyout doesn’t drop to 50% of remaining salary until December 2024, is the plan to wait until after the 2024 season? Or after next year.

Dumpster Fire, any word on Lucas?

Chris, Have you heard anymore rumblings about this?

Totally agree, combine the mass exit with currently the worst recruiting class in BIG Ten(84th nationally per 247 sports, only 9 3 star commits) for the class of 2023. The longer Dolson waits to move on, the bigger the rebuild.

Go after Deion Sanders, if we do not win, it would still be entertaining. I do not think the top power 5 programs with openings (auburn, Wisconsin, Nebraska, GTech) will give him a chance yet. We would get recruits, who he would hire as coordinators would be key.

So we are supposed to not be embarrassed to be the worst team in big ten? Giving up 340 rushing yards to the 3rd and 4th string running backs? Getting beat by 42, but at least we didn’t turn the ball over. Great job Tom Allen on that ball security.

This is embarrassing

Tom Allen leaving to take another job like the USF job would be a best case scenario, after all these years of misery we deserve to catch a break like this.

Go Hoosiers!

How much is the buyout after this year? 2023? 2024? How much ticket and parking revenue will they lose if the program goes into free fall?
