    They Fired Tom Allen!

    I wonder what's being said amongst donors etc. There has to have been some sort of conversations. This was not what anyone had in mind with that over the top contract. Finding new and old ways to get beat the past couple seasons can't be overlooked by everyone involved. Once a majority of fans have stopped paying attention or are fed up, things start to get in motion. Despite the buyout, I cannot imagine he can keep his job unless he wins at least 3 more games.

    You know Indiana isn't exactly lacking in "country folk".

    Targeting top guys is a good strategy because it sets up IU in the transfer portal. If it doesn't work out for Boogie (and others) at their initial school, IU already has a relationship. We'll just have to live with a decent number of misses. UK and KU are always going to be hard to beat because of the success their players have had (are having) in the NBA. IU has mostly produced role players outside of OG.

    I agree. There would have to be some sort of settlement. I would say even if he wins 4 games, the chances of him returning are slim. Recruiting is going to be impossible. The AD better be putting out feelers.

    Just heard this from a buddy of mine who knows someone who was close to the recruitment of a certain Indiana HS QB recruit going elsewhere. He said IU was his worst visit by a mile. Said they run practice like a middle school. "Completely disorganized sh*t show." If that's what in state recruits have to say, IU really needs to move on asap.

    I agree 100%. The defense has sucked for a while. The CTA era has run it's course. Regardless if they buy him out now or later, this ship has sailed. No offense, no defense. No chance to win as is.

    I know people think it is, but coaching football is not rocket science.

    Knight would have never allowed anyone to ask him questions, right? He would never be in position where he didn't control everything.

    2022/23 IUFB Offseason News

    He's been hurt. He would have been lethal on IU this year.

    I am going to wager that you are wrong on this one.

    Nah, he's Prime Time and that's not a prime time type of school. Also he's not "young", so he'll make the jump sooner than later.

    And don't be surprised if it's FSU regardless of what type of success they have the next couple of seasons. If Deion has a big year, this could be his only season at Colorado. He's definitely leaving it's only a matter of when and where. But it will be in the south or a warm weather school.

    You know Deion isn't going to be there very long, right? He'll hit the road as soon as the first big time school gives him an offer. I myself said IU needed a guy like Deion, aka someone to bring a spotlight to the program, really light a spark. But that's a double edge sword because schools like IU and Coloardo are not "destination" jobs. I think everyone knows CTA is in over his head as a coach, I think most were just hoping he'd surround himself with really good coaches and just "lead" the team. But that's probably not super realistic at place like IU. Good assistant coaches will leave, and replacing them year after year is difficult so the head guy needs to be a really good x's and o's guy. I get the frustration with what's going on, but I think the timing of the most recent uproar is a little misguided or misplaced. Let's come back to this (again) in 4-5 weeks. But regardless, IU is not forking over $20M to CTA. So if the season goes horribly south, he either quits/resigns (highly unlikely) or there's a negotiated buyout, I would assume around $10M. That all being said, I am going to wager that IU wins 6 games this year. The offense will get better (how can it not) and the defense looked very good.

    But is a Golden Hurricane a weather event or more extreme golden sh*wer? Just asking for a friend.

    I love ridiculous mascots. The uglier and dumber the better in my book. I think the weirdest thing is they couldn't find a picture of the stadium full? And if not, they could just photoshop it?

    I assumed that. But it still seems weird.
