Give me a guy that wins 7-8 games a year for 3-4 years and gets hired away than a guy who wins 2-3 games over 3-4 years and lets the new guy start from scratch. IU football history the last century in a nutshell. My point is if a coach like Fitzgerald comes in and wins 7 games in a single year, he will be gone. No continuity at all. Hell, if someone wins 7 in a year at IU they ought to be annoited as a King Edited November 26, 2023 by Komets2727 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTF Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Did I hear Tommy Rees? Sounds like something IU would do. They need a guy whose tasted success at the head coaching position. This is no job for a coordinator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a dear friend of Zach Martin (Rees teammate), Rees and I drunkenly shared a bed after a rager house party and I was subsequently urinated on. Figured this was an appropriate place to post this story. Hard pass on Rees. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t need to see him win 7 games at IU to hire him away. If a big school wanted Fitz, he wouldn’t be available to begin with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless, of course, Fitz needed a few years as a buffer at a place like IU to put some distance between him and the hazing scandal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Racer Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I have followed the Hoosiers for years. Like the Cubs, hope springs eternal. My question is, with NIL and the growth of the Big 10, who would want this job?? This is 2nd tier at best. By the way, the lack of tackling on Saturday was horrible. I wondered if Coach Allen would be fired before the game ended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyEJay Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Mullen and Fyre would be interesting get me a little excited I reckon. Hart or Moore could be high level especially in recruiting the Midwest. Chryst is Vanilla Ice Cream as a FB coach Don't care what his record is. Even if you don't like Rees he's an OC at Bama I just don't see anyone leaving that spot for IU even a midwest guy. I just don't see a MAC or Mid-Major coach being the first option for a job that just paid almost 20 mil to fire a guy doesn't really move the needle. At the end of the day my money would be on Wommack, after a couple if bigger names say thanks but no thanks. Programs ties decent HC record / Experience don't think it'll get fans THAT excited but who knows , the expectation is just win 6-7 games and maybe make a bowl maybe he could bring that ? IDK like most IU fans whatever happens happens at this point sort of numb too it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised Sam Pittman wasn't canned this year but he's almost assuredly gone after next barring a miracle turn around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTF Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Players entering the transfer portal dominating the headlines. It's absurd. Total fail for the NCAA to allow this to happen. Universities should now be able to eliminate a player on their own accord if said player doesn't perform up to expectations. Tit for tat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis isn't the guy for Indiana. He couldn't win at Kent State, no way he'd win in the Big Ten..............unless we have another covid shutdown. 1 minute ago, Footballking16 said: Yes "cut".

Kent State is arguably the worst job in the MAC. Had the #1 offense in the country twice I believe 2/3 last seasons before becoming at OC at Colorado.

Coming out of Grand Valley State, Brian Kelly would have had this same Kent State team in the Top 15 had he been there 5 years. Who am I trying to kid. IU should just take anyone willing to accept the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
