Nick Sheridan Fired as OC

[ap2345]

That was fast

Rabby said CTA took a pay cut to make this happen too. He’s not messing around with this one.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Rabby:  In order to make this change, IU football coach Tom Allen took a pay cut. Allen's annual salary will decrease $200,000 each year from 2022-25. Allen’s contract will still run through the 2027 season. He was scheduled to make an average of $4.9 million per year.

Osterman:  Sheridan's most recent contract runs through June 30, 2022, and pays him monthly installments of $37,500. The total remaining salary contained within comes to $712,500. So that more or less explains Allen's salary reduction.

There very well may be more changes, but I won’t be shocked if there aren’t, and believe me I know how problematic that is. He just goes way back with some of the coaches that fans are wanting canned and - again, this isn’t a good thing - that may play a factor.
 

This is a pretty significant first step though. The right coordinator can work with the staff that’s currently here. See: DeBoer, Kalen.

He actually did the deed.

Now let's see if he hires someone with experience or falls back on old habits with hiring people.

Welp the captain obvious move has happened. How much “buy-in” have we lost from our active players. Do we have any recruiting sway leftover. Is there any point of wondering if we “right the ship”. Injuries showed how thin we were as a group. Lots of bad to fix. I can’t see it in an off season or 2. Therefore, if not, the Tom Allen experience will come to an end in 2 years and we start over.

Lol. Yeaaaa, IUFB fandom. Smirks and smiles.

I am hoping that we can keep Josh Hoover's commitment, will be imperative that CTA has a rock solid candidate locked up quickly.   

[Hoosierfan2017]

Time to hire a competent OC. One of Allen’s OC’s was a stud, the other two were total duds.

Where do we look for our answer at OC? Anyone throwing out candidate names?

Who calls the plays at Western Kentucky?

Thank goodness! Hiller needs to be next. Whoever the WRs coach is needs to be after that. 

[Brass Cannon]

I mean don’t get me wrong this season was a trainwreck but few teams will be sucessful when they are using their 3rd string QB

Doesn’t matter. Allen isn’t hiring an air raid guy.

Not sure it's as simple as Osterman saying everybody was happy with Sheridan last year. Yes, when we were 6-1 -- everything seemed fine and dandy.

But at the same time, I remember thinking that if it weren't for what was a pretty good defense, we could've faced much more adversity. As I watched those games last year, I couldn't help but think that we had left a ton of points on the field. We had 38 against Michigan -- should've had at least 50. Scored 24 against MSU -- should've had at least 50. Scored 14 against Wisconsin -- should've had 28 or so. Scored 27 against Maryland -- shoulda had 40 or so. Many times, we seemed to do just enough. 

Just my take, however.

I don’t disagree with this at all. I posted that more for the recommendations and “sometimes it just doesn’t work” points, but yeah there were issues offensively last year that many were vocal about. There were at least some things to build on after last year, but we regressed about as much as I’ve ever seen.

True. He's not going to hire someone who isn't going to run it up the middle constantly and gets WRs in space.

He hired DeBoer didn’t he?

I mentioned it in another thread, but I would like to see us thrown mad money at Dan Mullen. Florida job chewed him up, but he is a very good offensive mind. May be a pipe dream though.
