They Fired Tom Allen!

[go iu bb 6,313]

These kind of stories will help Dolson justify not firing Allen at the end of the season.

I think paying him 20M will be his justification. Same if he wins the last two. Honestly, it's probably smarter to not blow that much money unless you have a slam dunk hire lined up. It is after all, IUFB we're talking about. If people really want investment in the program, that 20M would be better spent in NIL , assistant coaches, or for the new coach.

Have not heard anything lately what Mel Tucker will end up with….if anything.  Lawyers in a long battle.

Yeah, as much as I hate it, this is the best and most likely move. Like you said, unless we have a slam-dunk hire chomping at the bit, we have another year to dream about mediocrity. Maybe TA will decide for himself to move out/on, but I seriously doubt that will happen. What's one more year of disappointment? It's just IU football.

He should think about his health and resign. Sleep is important and lack of sleep can have a very negative impact on health. He needs to think of himself and do what would help him sleep by getting away from the pressure of being a D1 HC.

It won't happen, but I can dream.

Fire him before the sun sets

We kill ourselves with terrible penalties in every game and we have seen this under Allan his whole time at IU.  We are undisciplined and play to hectic and that comes from the coach

1 more week until Dolson has a short amount of time to say if Allen is staying or getting fired. And he can't really say nothing after this terrible season.

I am reasonably confident that next week against Purdud will be the last game with Tom Allen as coach.

Hope he goes out with a win!

I feel bad for the guy.  Unless we make a financial commitment we are spinning our wheels.  Love his passion and what he stands for. Although I fully understand the need to move on, but we’ve seen this song and dance for 30-70 years.

I think we could hire a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man to do the same thing Allen does.

Which likely means that Dolson already has a vetted head coach candidate.  Outside of our view, there would have been inquiries made, consultants that do the behind the scenes communications and background and networking.  The final decision, of course, would be Dolson's.

  After next week's possible announcement of the negotiation of a separation contract...a recommendation committee will be put into place.  The short-list of candidates will then be made.  Not many actually will be made public to protect those coaches' present positions.  Dolson's most-likely favorite will be on the list.  

And voila, IU enters a new era.

The new coach comes in and is introduced.  He will say things that the AD wants him to say.  New culture.  Discipline. NIL.  It's not your parents' football program.  I've got new ideas.  Upgrade offense, defense, coaches. POTFB.

Tom Allen may make about $4.5 million and is apparently the 38th highest salary for an NCAA football coach.  UW football coach Kalen DeBoer is the 44th highest-paid coach in NCAA college football, with a total annual pay of $4.2 million.  Just giving these for reference.  And I did not check those salaries closely.

3-23 in his last 26 Big Ten games. It’s time to move on.

I don't. He'll be paid a s***ton to not coach at IU after he's been a s***ton to do a terrible job.

Well they could keep T.A. around as team chaplain 

T.A. like many others of the past in losing situations will feel much better after he goes through this and gets this mess behind him.  After licking his wounds and a vacation and when he chooses to start a new job…defensive coach, head coach high school or small college, A.D. IU lol small situation, or even NFL position. Happier times ahead for T.A. and $millions of dollars.

If it’s anything like the past he will just ignore it like a statement isn’t even needed.
