Why should he be worried? IU has never cared about football. Him getting fired may change that stance.

[Aaron 4,293]

For what it is worth both Bob Kravitz and Jim Coyle have said after today's game they believe Allen is being fired. They may not have sources per se, but have to have heard something to write that.

I don’t follow college football outside of the big ten as much as others….who on that list can excite these young kids to help him recruit and hit the portal successfully  immediately? I feel like we need to make a splash and get people excited about, and attention on the program right away. Who can give us a Deion like buzz?

Exactly! Even if we get a solid fundamental coach, it’ll take a few years to produce consistent results. Need someone who can pull some solid 4 star players and high 3s

That list is just asinine. Candle is the only one that makes a lick of sense for one of either the coach or IU.

Willie Fritz is the best candidate on that list by a mile. Jeff Traylor wouldn’t be terrible but not something I would be thrilled with. Wommack and Candle are “safe” hires whose tenures could go either way but both would need help and a lot of time. Hart does nothing for me and better off shutting the program down if ARE is seriously considered for the head coaching position.

I’m joining the talk over here as HSN has been light on this topic and you guys are engaged.  I have been saying for weeks the new 2024 BIG is no joke and this next year is pivotal to what IU football will be in that BIG.  Will they be a big time player, no, but they need to invest like never before to even have a chance.  Frankly the BIG should expect more out of schools like IU with the revenue coming in.

To your point that list is an exact opposite of meeting that 2024 BIG expectation.  IU needs to take a successful power 5 coach and show him the money.

My list was:

Winningham at Utah

Leopold at Kansas

Oregon St coach but he is gone

Will never happen but be bold and have the balls to bring in Briles now that he recently got cleared by the courts
 

I recently filled out a survey on all the upgrades they want to do to memorial stadium.  I personally won’t be donating a dime more for any of it unless they fire CTA and make a real committed hire.

Welcome! Always happy to have another member talking football here. 

Your list is certainly bold lol. I do have a feeling Scott is going to go big on this hire. I’ll be surprised to see a MAC guy or someone without HC experience.

Kyle isn’t leaving Utah. He’s very content at Utah.

Anybody who wants a successful P5 coach is probably going to be disappointed.

And Utah is a lot better job as well

There is no way a successful power 5 coach is leaving their current job to come to IU.

1) Someone with HC experience will come from a smaller conference.

2) A coordinator from a high level program.

3) A retread coach who is out of a job right now.

This will be a coaching pool

I get it but I also think with the money the BIG has, the most of any conference currently the money is there to at least try.
