How long before Jackson hits the portal again? Guys who think they are "the guy" usually don't stick around long when they aren't.

Let him go. I expect when Allen isn't fired at the end of the season there will be a mass exodus.

I would anticipate an exodus regardless - the benefit of bringing in a new guy at the end of the year is that you would expect a little bump in the next class or two with  new-guy recruiting juice.

IU football.  The greatest source of fodder for open mic night at the local comedy club.

Love the quote today saying Allen feels like the season may be slipping away. 
 

The season was over before it started. 2-10 or 3-9 was always the case.

IU needs to pick a QB before this season gets embarrassing

It isn't already? News to me.

I would be stunned if Allen ever wins another game at iu.

We have 5 more games to endure?  Have not followed as much but I felt that surely we were about done with the year considering how bad most feel about the program.

What does this even mean? Is it a good thing to bring in $34M more than we spend? I understand the need for some kind of "reserves", but if we have this kind of excess from donation, ticket sales, whatever, shouldn't we be ashamed of the state of the football facilities?

And I am sure there's a rule somewhere about using this cash to cover the over-inflated buyout for a failure of a football coach. Maybe we fire Dolson, as well, for giving CTA this kind of ridiculous golden parachute after only a decent season or two... Between Glass and him, they did the same thing with Archie... and it constantly leaves IU athletics in a bad spot...

Hmm, you would willingly hit him with your car but you're questioning another's morals? Interesting.

Kevin Wilson sucked as a coach and probably isn't a good person. Tom Allen sucks as a coach and doesn't seem like a good person with his willingness to throw everyone under the bus instead of being accountable for the team he's in charge of.

I know where to draw the line w my morals. Sexual assault is right there, along w assault and abuse of minors

It got embarrassing around the time it took 4 OTs to beat Akron.

Oh, don't worry; he'll just bring in a bunch of JUCO guys and benchwarmers from the portal, like always.  And then have yet another quarterback struggle as the team goes 1-11.

To add, the Akron team we needed 4 OTs to beat has won 1 game this year and gave up 55 points to Northern Illinois.

Think I should have put that in a sarcasm font. He needs to be gone, yesterday. Will do more harm by keeping him around.

 

I just hope they will actually conduct a serious search and be willing to pay what it takes to make serious hire. Not going to be an easy, but surely someone out there can be identified that wants to coach that is falling backwards from their current position or identify a younger coach looking for his first HC job. Not sure there's other options unless they overpay someone to take the job which doesn't seem like the university's style

Nope... they won't overpay a coach to coach, but they will handcuff themselves with obscene buyouts on undeserved contract extensions... it's enough to make you sick... why isn't it enough to make you stop, Scotty boy?
