They need to do both. The facilities are sub-par and to get a (good) new coach they'll probably need to make a commitment to him that they'll be upgraded. They also need to pay the staff more. IU has been pretty stingy in that area and that really needs to change. IIRC, the athletic department had over $25M in profit last year, so they have the money now. When the new TV contract money starts, they'll have even more revenue to work with.

You remind me of some posters on other boards who like to argue and argue and argue. What other user names have you posted under?

You and the whole world.

The soccer team won today so there's that.

We're tired of seeing the football team suck.

Why would they think they were going to land? They couldn't even get him on campus for a visit.

Thoroughly outclassed. The stat sheet is as ugly as the final score.

I guess IU is a swimming (and soccer) school: https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2023/11/18/mens-swimming-and-diving-no-6-indiana-men-win-no-9-women-finish-second-at-midseason-meet https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2023/11/17/mens-swimming-and-diving-no-6-9-indiana-wins-nine-events-in-second-night-of-midseason https://iuhoosiers.com/news/2023/11/17/mens-soccer-paegle-peplowski-impress-on-first-day-of-midseason

Yes, that is a major concern but it goes beyond even that. He's also turning it over at a career high rate of 1.7 per game, his rebounding is down, and he's shooting less than 29% from 3. Johnson's D hasn't been great, his assists are at a career low 0f 2.3 per game (~1/2 of his full season career low from his freshman year), his steals per game are way down(1/4 of his career low rate), and his rebounding is down. A positive is that his turnovers are also way down.

Both he and Galloway haven't been playing as well as I hoped nor as well as the team needs them to play. Both need to improve.

That's when it's just fans saying he needs to be fired. This year people in the media are saying it too. Not firing Allen says, "we don't care about football." Not firing Allen and but also not making a statement says, "we really, really don't care about football. In fact, we couldn't care less. I'm not even going to bother with the effort to address the elephant in the room, that's how little I care." I'm not sure that's what he wants people to think

I don't. He'll be paid a s***ton to not coach at IU after he's been a s***ton to do a terrible job.

1 more week until Dolson has a short amount of time to say if Allen is staying or getting fired. And he can't really say nothing after this terrible season.

https://247sports.com/college/indiana/article/its-hard-to-sleep-tom-allen-faces-a-crossroads-at-indiana-following-third-straight-losing-season-220453026/ He should think about his health and resign. Sleep is important and lack of sleep can have a very negative impact on health. He needs to think of himself and do what would help him sleep by getting away from the pressure of being a D1 HC. It won't happen, but I can dream.

Yeah, in the video Ames clinches his fist and throws a small sucker punch to Dual's chin or throat. Dual's response was more obvious. The refs eventually got it right by ejecting both. Ideally, they would've caught the first punch but it's not surprising they missed it since it was small and fast. Both should miss games.

Yes. Screw every B1G team that's not IU. F**k 'em all.

I agree. In a zone the 3-point shooters wouldn't be any more open than they already are. So at worst it's just as (in)effective as the man-to-man.

True. He decided to come back to college this year so his NIL money must be as good as our better than overseas professional money so there's a real possibility he'll be back next season.

Edey has his COVID year if he wants to use it so there is a chance he could be at PU again. I don't see him as any more likely to get drafted after this season than last season.

I see improvement. lol

That's 18 in one game. IU has taken 24 total this season, so 18 would be a 50% increase from the average of 12 per game. That would be an improvement.

For arguments sake, let's say you're right about his limits. The list is long in both basketball and football (since you brought up NFL/WR above) of players who weren't the most physically gifted but who were still able to excel due to hard work, determination, grit, and understanding of the game. It's too early to say he's not one of these and, if anything, I would say the early evidence points more towards him being one than not. But it's veeeeery early in college career so maybe wait and see before writing him off. Or not. But you're not going to get many agreeing with you on here so it really looks like you're just wanting to argue with people.

These kind of stories will help Dolson justify not firing Allen at the end of the season. https://hoosierillustrated.com/the-brendan-sorsby-rod-carey-duo-and-gradual-improvement-provides-glimmer-of-hope-in-otherwise-difficult-indiana-football-season/?fbclid=IwAR1bGrxXe-_zvlL4PbAPz_V4H-FVPQ_UI4bNN2xf--B8YZFIV5ftuLN0_Mc
