Coach Nowlin

brutal NFL Inner workings know.......Other Owners know....... ALL GM's in the NFL have someone they report to, that must sign off on hires, GM's have to sell presidents/ceos/owners etc, so there is a level of cooperating needed

Name you Next guay MY PREFERENCE Previous HC experience with SUCCESS, and OFFENSIVE BACKGROUND Cannot gamble on an unknown assistant AGAIN Complicates things maybe?? Bobinski retirement within the next year on the horizon.... I still have a theory that recently resigned Board Of Trustees prez, Michael Berghoff may have been one who pushed the hardest on Walters among the committee. .....then up and retires mid football season. Hmmmmmmmm

was there some secret code sent out to all of D1 players to go ahead and just go out throwing punches when you lose? At least 3 or 4 flag in middle of field The bitter rivals of BYU and HOUSTON got after it as well.

Thank You IU The proverbial nail was put in the coffin

Preach Coach Franklin Preach

you shouldn't hate to see it Purdue has every opportunity to compete if they choose too, tonight. The players were put in positions to not succeed and then they players said nope......hence the fumbles in cold weather game with very little contact Put up 100 if you can, won 't hear a peep from me in this landscape that is called "college" football

You don't walk out on the Bears if your GM bc of Ownership, you just keep trying to plug away and win spite George and hopefully Kevin staying away. Fingers crossed get this right, the roster is one that can win and win big if you hit better and develop OL/DL moving forward

Like to think you are correct........HOWEVER....somehow, not going to hold my breath, but like to think again, you are correct. So Bad.

Desk should start getting cleaned out by Monday

Where is the Sportsmanship ?? Its 58-0. there is 12 min to go, so far in the 2nd half, Coach Cig ran a fake punt up 38 points, has kept his offensive starters in and throwing PA and Bombs to WRs...... THE BLASPHEMY OF SUCH ACTS !!!! 😆 Sorry 59-0

Impressive day for UM. Kuddos

HOLY SMOKES!!! From the Clouds comes @Howe !!! Been long time Pal !! Cheers

Notice I never have said I agreed with Coach Day decision, all I have done was provide a different perspective of the WHY it happened or the message/purpose of the decision from Coach Day's perspective being around college coaches, clinics, having friends who have coached at high level College football was the purpose of my decision to provide this on these threads. Yapping Yorkie is a fun alliteration usage to provide context of the national tone of IU from the last 2 weeks, yes no one used those exact words, I did, correct, the messages, tones nation wide and ESPECIALLY in the Columbus camp was just that, IU coach acting like one of those spastic puppies looking for attention and they have not earned that yet because they don't know what OSU is all about and that level is and was the narrative. Happy Thanksgiving 🙂

Don't see how Penn st is ahead of them. yuck , my eye test says ND waxes Penn st

don't love the projections of playing conference teams personally ND behind Penn state is not using the eyeball test either

Playoff team and nothing that I saw Saturday changed my mind Now if they Let Purdue hang within a couple of TD's this weekend, oh boy........ They should obliterate them

Bring me Joe Brady

Strategy was for the RB on his own to do what he did, his boss, the Head Coach, chose to finish the game the way he chose to do so. I fully understand having negative reaction to Coach Day's choice, all I am doing is interjecting some opin purpose of doing so from the high stakes / high income world of the B10+/NCAA football is and will continue to become, the true minor system for the NFL with a sprinkle in online class or 3. Actually, the not EXACT scenario, you are correct, however, THIS IS pretty DARN close and this happened in the Calendar year of 2024, recently fired HC Allen ended up apologizing, and threw the entire team under the bus, since they did it on their own, but it did happen. I have no qualms with you fellas and having this feeling. Just providing another viewpoint on a message board to discuss. Without Bias mind you 🙂 Coaching lens viewpoint if you will.

Nope, that's the analogy used throughout the nation wide experience that is known as what IU football in this Ohio State game became an actual National story for the first time in the history of that game being played and that's the credit to Indiana football this year and coach Cig They wanted attention like a puppy would want attention That is the national perspective of this game that was played. It has nothing to do with a Purdue bias If I had this bias, why would I be sitting here throughout the entire football season in his thread speaking highly of the product that's been put on the field if I held this meatball bias as you're choosing to portray me as And you're right as a high school football coach, I would not have done that As a head coach of a power 5 National contender maybe I would consider it different because it's a different ballgame in that world. Don't know won't be in that position I have spoken very highly of your beloved Hoosiers all year long and especially the head coach. Yet in this scenario you claim I am just becoming up. Purdue hater essentially which is just odd to me With that being said, like I said perhaps whether you like it or not. Coach day was sending a message that coach sig. You have a ways to go to catch him, whether you think it's right, wrong or in different and the high stakes game of professional football. I mean college football that's what's being done these days. So like I said before, welcome to the big time you guys made it. Now, let's keep it going and I hope the team that I support will eventually figure it out and join those ranks too. It's really a simple as that

Oh I could definitely sign up for this

More than fair to have that sentiment @Komets2727 Welcome to big time college football. This scenario is not something that just randomly happened to IU. Should Sean Payton face the same criticism by you IU folk upset at Coach Day? https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/sean-payton-on-panthers-saying-broncos-tried-to-run-up-score-its-the-nfl-play-better don't give me the its PROFESSIONAL sports..... open your eyes......College is not college anymore

Yes, the IFCA HOF committee has the overall Board who gives the green light of all prospective applicants. For instance, Coach Chris Meeks went into the IFCA HOF 2 years ago. I filled out the application through Region 4, then the Region 4 HOF committee reviewed it with other applicants, his application made it pass the Region 4 committee and went to the Big Board of which they also gave it the go ahead. From there, the process of induction gets turned back over to the individual involved. In Region 4, we are fortunate to partner with the National Football Foundation Joe Tiller Chapter and many choose to go in during the honors brunch held in June every year. The last 3 Rensselaer Guys who got the nod, Coach Chris Meeks, player Danny Brandenburg, did that through Purdue, Danny's father Steve Brandenburg chose to get inducted halftime of a RCHS game 6 or 7 years ago.

Assume to much my friend These are all things I consumed all week long from local to national media going into the game. I didn't say IU was that far off, I have CONSISTENTLY been supporting Coach Cig and IU season and turnaround. The Yappy Yorky has ZERO to do with my alma mater, again, for now the 3rd time, it was all over the weekly lead up across the college football landscape, the sentiment, Big Dog (OSU) vs Little Dog (IU). It's not that hard to see this all week long. Why do you keep bringing up Purdue to try to some how get my goat ( shout out to Momma Nowlin) it has ZERO to do with me or my MULTIPLE positive comments I have made all year long about IU and Coach Cig. Try something else my friend. So is Sean Payton wrong for what he did against Carolina ? Again , you are PAID ATHLETES and VERY highly PAID coaches. it's your job to stop them. This is not youth football, this is PAID athletes playing the game of football at what they are still calling College football. IU could have stopped them but they didn't . Wouldn't that have sent a strong message??

Bottom line; Everyone EXCEPT IU fanbase (which is cool with their enthusiasm, and I dig it) thought that OSU was going to cover that 10.5 and control the game. OSU did just that, exposed IU weak Punt team and capitalized big time and won the game 38-15. I believe there was an intentional message sent, but IU was pulling the we are still being disrespected card all week long. When you talk, then you don't walk, be prepared for a touchdown to be punched in or other verbal jabs coming from OSU staff. It's what Big Time Semi Pro ( I mean college football) has become, it's been this way in the SEC for years.
