Because it’s a BIG money business and the uniquely qualified control the market.

The danger is when a school mis-identifies who is uniquely qualified.

Maybe Allen is confused and thinks it's like a team version of golf and lowest score wins? By that standard he's doing pretty well.

I'm guessing it's because performance is too subjective.

Iowa made it very clear to their OC this year.

I found this to be a good read on the state of affairs with the IU football program:

The 2021-23 Indiana Hoosiers under coach Allen have been an unmitigated disaster. 

That quotes sums it up

IU Traditionally/ History IU football program would do very well (not dominate) in the MAC trying to play in power 5 competition.

Buffalo  13       Akron 10

Allen has been forced to fire a coordinator long past due and fire one who never should have been hired. Time to grow a pair and fire Allen.

Nothing to lose now, it’s already been lost.  Tom Allen (after the dust settles…pride, hurt feelings and psyc damage) Tom Allen is doing awesome all $$$$$$$$ worth & a couple trips to a therapist and a good vacation….then at his choosing on time to his next gig.

How many more games until Tom Allen gets fired? Does he make it to the Purdue game?

If IU has any desire to be taken serious as a football program no way you don’t fire Allen if we continue to play this poorly.

Yes. Purdue game 2024, at least. Unfortunately.

This season is over, sooooooooooo There is no way IU Admin allows a purge. The bell thing was 4 games too late. Sorry for CTA but, you are not winning..... Actually it isn't even winning. The product on the field looks like someone that makes 5 mill a year and they don't come to work until the day before the first game........ and then take 5 day vaca's after every game. There is ZERO businesses that could allow these results. Sorry Tom but you mailed it in and the product proves it. We can get these results with a 75K 19 yr old coach that lost on Madden 21'.

To be fair at Iowa, offensive performance is graded on a bell curve.

Now THAT’s funny

[Alford Bailey]

The bowl game vs Tennessee was a warning sign. That is when I really thought Allen was in way over his head. Been down hill ever since. We like to talk about Penix success after he left but look what Ramsey did in one year at NW. we actually had some talent but it was totally misused. Now we have very little talent.

Honestly, if you can't figure out how to get rid of him after this year you are just shouting to the entire world of collegiate athletics that you don't give a **** about football and in the current landscape I think that is a terrible thing

I've kind of felt the same way. This is not a time to be viewed as expendable in one of the 2 mega conferences.

Our ineptitude in football will eventually cost us dearly

We are so inept it feels like it’s intentional at times
