Its Coach Allen!

What a turn of events. Extremely happy for Coach Allen! He's a Hoosier through and through and will represent this program tremendously.

Let's go get him a top notch OC!

I'm pretty neutral on this decision, but I do find it funny that it's only former players that transferred or never played under Wilson that are trashing him. Everyone loves to spin their own narrative based on playing time.

A kid we are currently recruiting.

I know nothing about football (well i do but, you get what i mean) but i never got a good vibe from Wilson. I get a good vibe from Allen. Good for IU, moving in the right direction.

Wow I almost feel bad for Coach Allen. This is one of the biggest days of his life, his entire family is here, and his press conference is being overshadowed by a falling out between Wilson and Glass. Should this have been a separate press conference?

Either way I'm extremely happy for Allen. You can tell he won't take this opportunity for granted.

Second coach to be fired after winning the bucket btw

Fifth. Corso, Mallory, Cameron, and Lynch all won it on their way out.

Already hired Allen? Been in the works a little while?

[Hovadipo 61,420]

Tom Allen is the official Head Coach?IUFB will be just fine. This is exciting. Still excited for the future of this program and don't expect us to lose much from this.

Seems like it. Glass mentioned this had been going on for a few weeks.

Coach Allen says all Indiana HS coaches are welcome at practice to grow and learn. Said he will make recruiting in state a top priority. Also said he will be a major figure in the state.

He's a wonderful speaker.

Interesting to see what happens with the rest of our staff.   Are they "Wilson" coaches and leave or will they fully support Allen's hiring?

Heck I would stay. Listen to this man. Look what he's done.

I felt Wilson had peaked and maybe Glass did too? I like the move. Maybe the program can move to the next level.

Just listening to Allen speak and I'm ready to throw some pads on and run through the nearest wall.

Allen was important. Removes uncertainty allows us to capitalize on the chaos in south bend and keeps any new hire at Purdue from having an easy time poaching our talent.
