College Football Thread

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Would anyone really be surprised if half the football coaches were cheating on their wives?  It'd be about the same as some thinking that college basketball recruiting wasn't that bad.

Sadly true.

In other words, "Yes I am very interested in the Louisville job, but I can't talk about it right now."

Exactly!

What do those idiots think Brohm is going to say?   Hell yes, I'm interested and I'm ready to get out of this stinkin' West Laffyette just as fast  I can.  I've already got the moving trucks lined up and they'll be loading my furniture just as soon as IU finishes kicking our butt in the Bucket game.

I haven’t seen a thread on Brady Allen but know IU offered after his Ohio State visit.   Freshman highlights below.  If there is a thread, please add  ...

A college in Indiana has decided to suspend their football program due to not being competitive.

No...not that school, Earlham College in Richmond.

They might actually care now that there season is over

Literally right after the Bucket Game...maybe another reason for Purdue to lose out and not make a bowl game? But who knows, Dakich also said Alford to IU was a done deal...

Kansas is finalizing a deal with Les Miles to make him their next head football coach. Wow. One of the worst P5 fooball programs in the country went out and made a bold move to get better. Fred and IU would never have the balls or commitment to make a move like this. That is why we stink.

He's 65 years old. If IU had hired him you'd ***** about us hiring old coaches no one else wanted.

Time will tell if this is a good move.  Last time they hired a blue blood cast off it didn't end well for KU (1-18 Big 12 record).

Shut up IU football board troll everywhere there’s a message board IU football related....if IU hired him you would’ve found something to piss and moan about. Find another school to root aka whine and cry about. Lol what a cry baby you are. You’re takes are the absolute worst and most of the time you have no credible facts or stats to back anything up.

WOW!

My guess is Miles will be a complete flop. He won’t be in a fertile recruiting area like Baton Rouge and I’ll bet he ends up being average at best. The guy won mostly on pure talent.

Wanting your school to do better than Tom Allen and Mike DeBord, or at the least do a coaching search, makes someone a crybaby?

We've got a coordinator masquerading as a head coach because our genius AD couldn't be bothered to do his friggin' job.  Wanting IU to do better than that doesn't make him a cry baby; frankly, wanting IU to do better than that is an extremely low bar.

Its been only 6 minutes, but it seems Maryland woke up for O$U

[Hoosierfan2017]

Would Les Miles have came to IU? Who knows. But if you never ask then the answer is no every time. Sometimes you have to swing for the fences.

We had momentum with Coach Wilson and then Glass fired him. Instead of looking for a home run hire, he bunted. It seems like the #1 thing people mention in favor of Coach Allen is "he'll stay if he has success here". Which, sure, that's nice. But not looking for the best candidate you can find because you're worried he'll leave if he has success is very stupid. You're putting yourself behind the 8 ball before you even start. If a coach is good enough here to get picked off then he'd have had more success than IU football has had in a long time. 

[TheWatShot]

Miles has always needed a ton of talent to win, and he runs an archaic offense. I think he'd struggle to get players here. Besides, we already went the LSU reject route once. Our next hire doesn't have to be a big name, it just needs to be someone who can coach.
