Exactly. Otherwise we'll just get more of what CTA was bringing. A coach who didn't know what he was doing, and losing his best players and coaches year in year out.

I agree 100%. Hence lies the irony of college sports. Unfortunately because it is considered so important (more important than the school to a lot of fans) and has become all about the $$$, being a good person does't hold as much weight or patience as maybe it used to. Much like a lot of things, $$ wins the debate. That being said, this is sports, and most sports are about winning and losing and college sports is no different.

I also think nobody thought or wanted to believe everything would fall off so fast. It all went bad very quickly. I think even the most negative thinkers would have assumed (even those who know IUFB's history very well) thought we'd get at least one more year of a decent/good/top25 team and then a slower drop back to IUFB mediocrity or something more in the lines of 5-7, 6-6 maybe a 4-8, 3-9 season followed by a 7-5 team etc.

This is not really a rumor. Just a USC "blogger" who made a top 5 possible replacements (a list of HCs who might be fired) for DC job.I saw the article a couple of days ago: https://trojanswire.usatoday.com/lists/usc-defensive-coordinator-search-update-for-november-20-with-notes-and-analysis/. Honestly most of what is a rumor seems to be forum "info". My buddy knows Tom Brewer and his "info" is never more than what we get here.

Thank you Tom! Time to move on.

Who knows if this is legit or not, but Football Scoop does get "scoops". Seems like a weirder hire but I don't really know the ins and outs of these guys as far as x's and o's, recruiting, fundraising, putting together a staff, etc. There's a lot of stuff that goes into building and maintaining a college FB program.

Thanks for doing this. It would be interesting to another list or a poll like: 1. Those most likely to consider IU 2. Who forum subscribers want.

If they "let him go" they probably aren't going to tell him until after the game. So of course he's going to say this, it's the end of the season.

He will consider him as much as he considers anyone who wants the job. Keep that in mind. It's really WHO would want the job and then you go from there. Canada wouldn't be an inspired hire but he probably could get a good staff. I would not like the hire myself. He seems to have issues everywhere he goes. And by issues, detractors of his offense.

Thomas Allen. Keep it in the family.

I would hire at IU in heartbeat btw. I am resigned to the fact that we're not going to be looking for a new coach for at least another year.

I guess I would think that bigger programs would shy away from a 62 year old. And he's been at JMU now for 5 years. But I don't know sh*t. Just seems like if bigger programs were sniffing around he'd be gone by now.

Why would he not end up at IU? Just curious.

For the most part, I watch games without audio.

I think paying him 20M will be his justification. Same if he wins the last two. Honestly, it's probably smarter to not blow that much money unless you have a slam dunk hire lined up. It is after all, IUFB we're talking about. If people really want investment in the program, that 20M would be better spent in NIL , assistant coaches, or for the new coach.

This also indicates how much he's under-performed his contract. He signed it in 2020 and was immediately terrible in 2021 (I understand there were a ton of injuries that year). Now he's been terrible for three straight seasons. Very on point for the IU football brand. We somehow can't have nice things. EDIT: I wanted to add that I was pretty optimistic this season even though I knew starting a RS QB would be a work in progress. Now the QB is solidified and playing fairly well, the defense has decided to take the rest of the season off. I think that's the biggest issue and always has been. IU can never be good at both offense or defense in the same season or game. Very odd.

Now you've convinced me. He will NOT be fired.
