Whenever they hire a new coach, they can’t have a fear about the guy “leaving us for something better if he succeeds.” In IU’s storied football history, hoe many times has that happened? People gushed and gushed about how great CTA is because he wouldn’t leave IU if he succeeded, but then the AD gave him a monstrous buyout anyway. Hire the best coach you can find. If he leaves, he leaves.

And for the love of god. whatever you do, don’t hire the guy down the hall with no head coaching experience beyond the high school level. 

So bad on many levels. No coaching search then hand out a big contract based on Covid year? Insanity. Let him leave we coulda won 2 games and lost half the roster to transfer with no coach at all.

This Allen contract will go down as one of the worst moves in IU football history. 

ABSOLUTELY.

 

I don’t know if Boosters care too much of buying him out too. We will be stuck for many years. If I’m Scott, I’m calling around asking for names of who could turn the program around.

We play to be mediocre at best. That's our ceiling. Hoping for a 6 - 6 season is the definition of a losers mentality. I don't see anything on the roster or in the pipeline that will change that. Frankly, it's embarrassing.

It's hard to deny the truth in this.

IU has shown that it can't or won't go out and hire a proven, exceptional coach.  This leads me toward the opinion that we need to quit wasting money and resources on a perennially losing program and direct those resources to other programs.  It's a disgusting attitude, but repeating the same decades old script is too.

Maybe. At this point, I wouldn't count on it.

Can't do that.  Football is the cash cow...for most.

We need to build a bigger stadium.  We could fill it up when tOSU, Michigan, Penn St., etc....come to town.

Something I didn't realize -- that was our 700th loss. 

Not this season (though it seems like it). We're the first Division I program to "achieve" that. 

Indiana football -- 125 years of pure horsesh-t! Congrats, boys!

Coach Allen is all about the IU tradition.
