southend Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Not a good look for Indiana, at near the bottom of the BIG class rating. also. Mark Hagan all ready to coach at Texas. Unless Fred ante's up to keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southend Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Anybody want to comment on the sub par recruiting of the Hoosiers this year? Bottom of the conference. I’m not feeling it, going into next year. I know Nowlin is loving it. He can keep his comments to himself.

southend Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Strength coach Ballou is being courted by Nick Sabin. Poor Indiana, coaching merry-go-round. maybe he has some loyalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The implication being that if he leaves Indiana for what he perceives to be a career-advancing opportunity at Alabama that is somehow disloyal? Disagree strongly. He’s a professional football coach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be loyal to his family by doing the best he can to advance in his career and provide for them the best he is able. Sounds to me like that’s what he’s doing. That’s where his loyalty belongs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it’s been happening since Wilson took over. At least thePositive of all this is we know all the lost assistants Wilson and Allen lost we’re giving Indiana at least a year of there expertises. And they must be good to get the attention of top echelon programs. Purdue doesn’t have this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishman Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Being in the coaching ranks, and knowing a number of college coaches, one thing I have learned.......There is no loyalty to a head coach; and if there is, it is rare. It seems coaches on that level are always looking for the next opportunity.....ALWAYS. It is the nature of the business....not the game, but the business side of this sport. Greg Mattison is a prime example.....coached under Lloyd Carr as a DC; then goes to one of their big rivals at the time in ND. Comes back to UM under Harbaugh and then goes to Ohio State now. To be a strength coach at Indiana where he may be making something around $150,000 a year to Alabama where he could make twice that much is a no brainer. That said, I do not envy college coaches at all; to never really settle somewhere long term is not attractive in my mind. The travels that the ones I know have taken have been ridiculous. There are a couple of them that look back and say yeah, that was nuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Nowlin Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Alabama? He is VERY tied in with those strength coaches, not sure they would be able to convince Saban to take him on or not. I am sure he will have a lot of suitors: Sits a year, will be a RS Sophomore when eligible at new school unless NCAA passes that 1 time free transfer rule before he has to use that shirt on transfer year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know if that was an option. If he doesn't see fit at other places that pursue him, but player decides to stay. But, would team want that player back is also a big if !!
