They Fired Walt Bell

[MemphisHoosier 2,057]

Seeing that Carey in permanent, no tag on the role.

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,649]

Good toire him... Chad Wilt and Tom Allen are next.

[WhiteyMcSpeed 102]

Hopefully the additional compensation for Carey is coming out of Tom Allen’s salary 

[LIHoosier 25,973]

Well, its a start. God help us if our bye was the first week of November.

Hopefully the option portion of the playbook is thrown in the trash, Lucas is moved out of the back feels and into the slot, and turner/ Henderson becomes the full time running backs

How about it comes out of Allen's buyout? After the way his agent fleeced Dolson I'd say that'd be fair.

Thread title changed to reflect action taken!

If it’s this easy, I may start a “Win a National Championship” thread in the men’s and women’s basketball forums.

Barring a $20 million miracle, this may be the only win left on our schedule. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,061]

Let the QBs throw the ball past the line of scrimmage, please. Put Lucas in the slot and get creative.

MSU and Illinois say “not so fast, my friend.”

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,061]

But ultimately, it doesn’t matter I don’t think. Team has given up on Allen. Defense was AWFUL yesterday.

@Hovadipo your speculation on what changes we'll see recognizing just 2 weeks for Carey to work with.

 

[TTT 914]

Sure, there were some decent good seasons though few and far between….it took over a 100 years to get here and it definitely will take more than a few games to get out of here.

Hiring a defensive guy to be offensive coordinator is so IU football

Probably won’t be a whole lot of change schematically. With Carey’s background, I would guess they’ll try to establish the run with Turner and hopefully Henderson. They can definitely install some new stuff with the bye week, but it won’t be a huge, obvious change imo.

We should see better situational awareness and you have to think we’ll pack the option stuff on Walt’s Greyhound bus.

Carey isn’t a defensive guy. He’s either been an OL coach, OC, or head coach his entire career. 

[LamarCheeks 18,274]

I read a story last year claiming "inside knowledge" of the program. I think it was by Tom Brew, who's kind of a doofus, but has been around a long time -- so you can take it for what it's worth. 

Regardless, his story claimed the players were pretty much 100% behind Tuttle as QB last year, but Bell was insistent on starting Bazelak -- and that created tension among the ranks. To me -- neither seemed worth a crap, though Tuttle seemed to be injured a good bit of the time he was at IU.

I got bad info.  So IU football of me

[TTT 914]

QB’s have injuries in many programs…however to the extent IU has qb injuries especially extending to last few years…. with exception of this year (except D.W.) (makes it hard to recruit a qb talent and keep him)….lacking offensive line and play making receivers running backs, skill positions, basically need over haul everywhere especially offense ….which is a direct result of unqualified and low ability coaching…which is the result of decision makers putting them in these positions to begin with.
