Could we pay Mark Richt enough to come out of retirement?

Does it really matter to you? Since, in your opinion, Allen is an awful head coach.

That would mean IU got serious about football. Never gonna happen.

Because Mark Richt or the money? Mark Richt is not a sign that IU is serious about football

[maharkn]

He will promote from within. Mike Hart?

Either one. The guy won 75% of his games at Georgia.

He also just retired... that’s not someone you want to bring in to build a program.

Well Richt has actually been successful as a coach. Maybe even get to Glass and McBobbies dream of 6 wins.

Nope. Dude did so little with way more talent. But hey, screw Allen, am I right? 

[Hoosierfan2017]

Richt would certainly be an upgrade over Allen. If IU wants to get serious about football, firing Allen has to be the first move they make. He's not cut out to be a P5 head coach. We just finished watching a very undisciplined and poorly coached team for 12 games this year. Next year will likely be more of the same.

LOL! Allen wouldnt make a wort on Mark Richts you know what as far as a coach. Are you really gonna argue this??

Not particularly taking just about Richt. IU will never hire a coach of this level.

Nope. But people wanting Richt are beyond delusional. Guy isn't a good coach at all. He held back Georgia every single year, then went to Miami to hold them back before retiring.  Dude wouldn't do anything here

Not sure that is fair. A MAC or Sunbelt school would have been an ideal first-step before getting thrown into the B1G East. Not an excuse- since Glass chose him and he accepted, but I think it's a little harsh to declare his career over based on the last 2 seasons. 

If IU doesn't make progress next season, then I agree that the seat will (and should) start getting warm. 

That's a good point. He got thrown into one of the toughest divisions in college football for his first head coaching job. That's tough. I can't blame him for taking the job, but he has a lot to learn about being a head coach. I was probably too harsh, a better way to put it would've been to say that at this point in his career he's not ready to be a P5 coach. He would've been better off getting HC experience at a smaller school.

Oregon just ran the dumbest 'trick play' I've ever seen.

 

[Hoosier Guy]

Oregon just pulled a maneuver that would make Georgia happy lol

Fair, I kinda saw DeBord as a stop gap hire though. Help Allen get his feet set.

Thought I might watch a little of the Northwestern-Utah game. Now that I see Gus Johnson is on the call, I might watch a lot of the Northwestern-Utah game. Love me some Gus Johnson. 

I still remember when we played PU in hoops in 2012, Matt Roth had come in and hit a couple bombs in the first half. Cody got the ball just outside the free-three line. As the Toiletmakers doubled him, Roth sneaked around a couple screens and got wide-open in front of the PU bench. Cody hit him and right as Roth let fly with another bomb, Gus yelled: "Layup!" ... The Hall was already rocking and I thought the roof was gonna blow off after that 3 swished. Man, that was awesome!
