2022/23 IUFB Offseason News

[Alford Bailey 12,259]

We will fill open spots. Lots of lesser talented kids will jump at a B1G offer. Same with coaches. Most of this staff will struggle to get better opportunities.

[Josh 12,380]

I have no interest in watching an iu football game next year.  The only thing that could change that is firing Tom Allen.

Yeah, for the next guy there’s gonna be nothin’ left. I don’t know, maybe there’s a guy who would find a basically blank slate appealing. Not sure who that guy would be, but you can bet they would require some world class job protection written into that deal. 

He'll need a MASSIVE buyout

They have a BUNCH of holes to fill, but the roster should be pretty well built for spring ball. Always a few additions between May and August, but a majority of next year’s team should have about 5-6 months together before the season starts. 

Do you think it will matter? Honest question and not being snarky.

[IU Scott 2,375]

I think we all need to lead a campaign and contact Dolson about our displeasure with the football program.  This is a dumpster fire and it is going to cost the program by keeping him more than the buyout.

Dumpster Fire, any word on Lucas? 

He’ll be able to return 10+ kickoffs/game next year if he stays…

No, not really lol. ‘23 being anything other than an abject disaster, no matter what, would be shocking. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,237]

Y'all remember that time we were 6-1 after beating Wisconsin... Good times... We've won 2 conference games since then. 

[TTT 781]

There are going to be many great opportunities for mid major college football players at IU in the near future.  IU will field a pretty good Mac conference or mid major football team.  The 2023 season may equal less wins than 2022 season.  There is 0 hope in sight.

It'll be even more of one.

Its definitely gonna lower. The only 2 winnable games I see are ISU and Akron. The notable changes to the schedule are Uof6 who had a week in the top 25 to end the year and Wisconsin and we've seen how well we've played a Fickell team the last 2 years.

[Stuhoo 75,808]

I guess at this point the reason for hope is that things have gotten bad enough to force change, maybe sooner rather than later.

[TTT 781]

This situation lends itself to a beaten down coach and (staff) regardless of money. In reality, there is hardly any where to go or hope for any success.  There are many examples in all sports.  An example is  Bill Lynch.  However, after transition period into a new situation and opportunity coaches move on and recover a sense of synergy.  This will go well for T.A. because he is and will be on very very very very securely solid financial ground continuing in coaching if he desires or another opportunity.  T.A. is low performance and very high reward kind of guy as a head coach in big ten.  Much talk and exterior enthusiasm.  Can anyone say LEO?

IU hired a defensive coach who had some success at the college level that was a high school head coach that was 8 wins 3 losses for a season in Florida…then 25 wins and 12 losses at Ben Davis in Indianapolis as a head coach….Not a Gerry Faust type resume.

What’s Dolson going to do? He gave Allen this stupid extension, why would he do any better making a new hire?

[HoosierX 1,448]

At the end of the day, the good news is that we're in the Big Ten. When Allen does inevitably get the axe, we have the resources that an up and coming coach should find appealing.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,165]

And another one gone, and another one gone, and another one bites the dust.  Our roster seems to be suffering from a very acute case of diarrhea.

Dolson, unfortunately, can’t do much to fix the situation we’re in, and it’s completely his own fault. IUFB doesn’t have $30 million to fire him. We won’t be able to afford to fire him until after the 2024 season. Our roster may resemble an FCS school by then. If you’re a talented player on IU’s roster as of today, why wouldn’t you flee the sinking ship? You can go anywhere else and play right away. If you’re a high school recruit, why would you join a sinking ship? 

[Banksyrules 4,254]

Man IU football players are leaving faster than the women in my dating life….

[HoosierAloha 29,900]

Calm down, we just need to #LEO a little harder
