They Fired Tom Allen!

[JSHoosier 19,528]

With that buyout maybe it'd be cheaper to pay another program to take him?  We'd probably have to anyway if we can't just fire him.

That's not a lot. IUFB will always be the bottom of the conference with money like this. It's like Evansville Thunderbolts money trying to compete against Nashville Predators money. And if/when CTA is no longer with IUFB good luck finding a quality coach accepting a job here with money like this.

Imagine having a job that’s sets you up for life financially with zero expectations or worries you could be fired. I think Allen is perfectly happy here right now.

Agreed but I think Allen said we only had 150K this year. OSU, UM, PSU all try to raise 13 million in NIL, we need to be up to 5-6 IMO

Question. What if we focus all of the NIL money for football (needs to be more) on just getting the best lineman? That’s half the game right there no?

From what I understand the decision makers don’t think Allen is the guy but don’t want to pay the buyout.

I'm shocked by this. Absolutely floored. Really.

But have some money set aside or have a donor ready to donate so the new coach starts off with a bang. I’m not sure I fully understand it myself.

Wait, what? Have money lined up NOW for when they fire him in a few YEARS but not money to fire him? It doesn't make any sense to wait to start to make upgrades to facilities as those aren't coach dependent. I'm confused. 

Just another indicator at why IU football sucks.

That won't get you a good QB

I think there’s something to the idea, though, for a place like IU. Maybe all your NIL goes to QB, OL, DBs or DL.

Ryan Day says a million for a QB, a million for an LT, a Million for a pass rusher, and then spread the rest of the 10 million to the rest of the team.

From my perspective, something is smoking up

Feels like Deion could hold out for a bigger job, and it’s a lateral(?) move for Chadwell

Looks like Deion is headed to Colorado.

Could have given me 50 guesses and not one of them would've been Colorado

That’s what I am talking about.  What’s your team identity?  I’m good spending on offensive  line. Dominate the line of scrimmage goes a long way.

Sources - Liberty, Jamey Chadwell agree to 7-year deal (espn.com)

The dream is dead.  I mean, it wasn't happening, but...
