Allen definitely has a thing for keeping around terrible coaches.

He can blame them when the team loses and they won't leave when the team wins.

Who cares if they see it as a destination job. If someone comes here and gets scooped up after two years, that means the team actually did well those two years. That’ll make it easier to hire the next guy. You can’t let the preemptive fear of losing a coach down the line stop you from going after the best coach you can get. After today Allen will be 2-18 in his last 20 conference games. If that’s the best we can get then just shut the program down. 

That’s a good point

Who was the last HC we lost to another program because we aren’t a destination job?

Sam Wyche.

Maybe a better question was who was the last coach we called that said they weren't interested?

What would happen if the team literally didn’t go to Ann Arbor for the UM game?

I think that might be our best option.

I'm thinking what would happen if they went out on the field and the offense just took a knee on every play and the defense just stood there.

Guys….help me. I see people saying Jackson is going to be “really good”. I know he’s young,  but I don’t see it. 

What am I missing?

Well currently, an OC to actually help him.

IU doesn’t lose head coaches for higher destinations (except Sam Wyche) or (Wilson fiasco) because they don’t win at IU because IU football is just a fiasco.

(S.W. hardly coached a season as IU was a temp job for him to begin with)

Tracy Smith and Chris Lemonis in baseball.

Versyp in women's hoops (though it took some time, it eventually worked out in our favor). 

I’m talking football

Might as well save the travel expenses for the buyout

Bye week coming. Rip off the bandaid, let Rod Carey steer the ship for the last 7 games. Do it Scott. Doooo itttt.

The 45 yard line just delayed the inevitable

Sorsby thrown into the fire

I get your point but the reason that we don't have any recent examples is either because we don't have to ability to spot up and coming talented coaches or if we do, we ask if they are interested and they say no thanks! I haven't seen any indication that we can expect IU to bring in someone better than Allen if they choose to fire him!

[DChoosier 8,614]

My optimism grew due to the way our D played in the second half of the Ville game. Yes, I’m an idiot.

[TTT 966]

T.A. post game:  disappointing for sure….we are still trying to find our QB…proud of the guys today never gave up and held our own from the middle of 4th quarter on (against reserves) things happen sometimes…proud of Sorsby, he came in and did a great job in a difficult situation…gotta lot of work to do to get ready for next one.  LEO

I just don’t see how we can dump him with a $20 million buyout.

Sure, it can be negotiated down some. But still.
