Is Coach Mallory Gone Soon?

I love what Wilson has done with the offense, and I'm one his supporters. That said, there is absolutely no reason why Indiana football should not have been a bowl team this year, especially with eight (!!) home games. But, because Doug Mallory was the defensive coordinator, I'll give CKW another year. If the Hoosiers aren't bowling next year, though, then I'll be ready to part ways with Wilson.

Their non-conference was tough, Mizzou and BGSU are each in their conference championships. And Navy was just a stupid schedule.

Indiana State, BGSU and Navy aren't that tough.

Are DC can't form a game plan against Purdue, what makes you think he can form one against Navy. BGSU is up 31-13 on the 14th team in the country so.........and we still beat them.

I'm with the group that would like to see Mallory go, but if it hasn't happened by now I can't imagine that it will.

 

I think there is a bigger question here for those who would want to replace CKW now. Who would we get to replace him? What coach in his right mind would look at our situation - one of the worst programs in a BCS conference, improvements in the w/l record every year, and fired after 3 years, not to mention all of our other disadvantages as a program - and say that he wants to take a shot here? 

 

Regardless, CKW is definitely getting at least one more year. And while I agree that his decision to retain Mallory may end up leading to his dismissal, getting rid of him now is a bad idea. I would go so far as to say the one thing I'm most sure of right now with IU football is that showing a lack of patience with a CKW and firing him now will not make us a bowl team any faster.

Everyone needs to relax. Mallory will be gone. 119th out of 120th defensively in BCS? Not staying. Especially when Lynch's teams were better in that category & that's why he was canned. Every recruit that DM has visited has been in conjunction with CKW. You probably forget about the DC when the HC is the other guy across the table. I'm sure CKW has someone in mind, but they're probably in a bowl and won't be contacted til after the bowl game. They will most likely bring in a DC with head coach & DC experience and maybe with recruiting ties in a new area of focus (ie: east coast). That would seem ideal with Rutgers & Maryland coming in, but still a maybe. As far as a demotion to safeties coach, I don't know if that's feasible. Pay cut and I dont think the new DC will want him around. We have very good asst def coaches and that worries me more. I don't want to see a cleaning of house and starting with an entire new staff or even partial new staff. All are well spoken and bring the right kind of recruit to the table. If one of them gets an offer for a better opportunity, then so be it. My guess is that we start to hear some chatter for new DC candidates after this recruiting period is over (20th?).

Re-read his post. He is saying that the very reason that CKW is out recruiting with Doug Mallory is because he won't. I don't know if that's the reason or not, but there is a certain logic to what he says. Particularly if Doug knows the score. is leaving on good terms, and they are "handing off" the recruits.

 

On the other hand, this may be Doug staying, and CKW taking a bigger interest in defensive recruiting to try to help out.

To me it makes no sense to take someone you're about to fire on recruiting trips. If I was a recruit and a coach did that I would think he was flat out crazy. That just doesn't seem logical in my opinion. I'd be willing to bet everything I owned Mallory stays. Nothing up to this point indicates he'll be fired and seems to reassure he's staying put. If Wilson keeps him and we don't improve or worst case we regress then Wilson better be gone too. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

It wouldn't be what I would probably do. If you are going to fire him, do it and be done with it. As far as how a recruit would take it, that would be different with each one. As far as regressing, exactly where would we regress to? We were the worst ever defense in the B1G.

Well a friend of mine close to the program told me that CKW was kind of forcing Mallory to play younger guys that weren't ready to play yet in hopes of developing them, so maybe that could be a reason CKW doesn't want to fire him? 

 

I could see if Mallory is kept on, which I'm record as saying I think will happen, that the "logic" behind it is that we were still too young and lacking talent to be better and that more talent and more experience will fix our problems.  We had all better hope and pray that is accurate because I believe that is the path we are heading down.  

 

I want Mallory gone too, but I'm starting to gear my thoughts regarding him toward, "let's hope he can figure this out," as opposed to "let's hope he gets fired," because I just don't see that happening.

Worst defense ever in all of football?

I meant as a team not just defense though. Lol
