Komets2727 Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Tom Allen has been fired this morning according to ESPN.com. Hie will be paid his full buyout, which is approximately 20.8 million dollars, which is one of the largest in college football history. I never want to see anyone lose a job in today’s world, but 20.8 million is plenty to live on. Incompetence ruled Allen’s last couple years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Nowlin Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 great guy That high energy rah rah is great, until, you lose and lose and lose some more, 18-23 year olds choose these days to tune out such gimmicky schtick when things go south, the folks who jumped the gun on the extension probably need to be held accountable as well bc 20 million buyout was horrendous for anyone in B10 not named OSU/MICH/PENN ST imo 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the million dollar question. I seriously have a hard time thinking that any power 5 head coach would leave their current position to come to IU. That leaves assistant coaches at power 5 schools as the next option or a D2/D3 head coach. The question that needs to be asked is the IU administration serious about competing in football at the D1 level? The answer forever is no. To compete at this level, you must put mega millions into your program and that part has been an utter failure. You must have tons of money for NIL, which they seemingly don’t.

psaboy Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Jamey Chadwell, Curt Cignetti, Rhett Lashlee, Jason Candle are a few that come to mind. No way Urban goes to IU, unless they make an offer he can't refuse, 15-20 million a year may do it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Iowa State’s Matt Campbell Just learned during the game yesterday that Dickert is from the same small town my grandparents moved to when they moved back to Wisconsin from Lemont, IL. We spent a lot of Summers as kids in Oconto, WI. I like Dickert too. Lord knows what happens with them next season as far as a conference goes. Two other names come to my mind….Mike Hart is one. He has been in the program at IU as a coach, so he has some idea of what needs to happen. Brian Hartline is the other. Both know what it takes to run a top 5 program. I would add there is one to avoid….Tommy Rees. Just never thought a lot of him as an OC, a job he would likely maintain if he were a head coach somewhere. And I am sure he is going to be actively looking. IU also needs to fire the asshat who included the huge buyout as part of the contract extension Allen got after the 2020 season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Iowa State’s Matt Campbell I liked Dickert up until he lost 8 games in a row. Would take Campbell in a heart beat, not sure he’d come. I could be talked into Jason Candle at Toledo and possibly Tom Herman or Paul Chryst. If they hire Antwaan Randle-El like I’m hearing is a serious possibility, just play intramurals and use the money to buy the best basketball team possible.

If that’s the deal breaker he should immediately be ruled out. Have to have a coach in place before the portal opens. Need first crack at incoming entries as well as the possibility to re-recruit the current roster. There’s some young offensive talent that IU would be wise to keep.

Komets2727 Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Let’s face it, IU might very well be the worst power 5 job out there. Even if they get an up and coming young coach, the first year they win 7 games, they will bolt for the first job offered. Honestly, unless someone unlocks the vault and gives access to mega millions of dollars, IU should be an intramural team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Nowlin Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 You don't want an assistant from Power 5 conference in my opinion, they are well thought of because they are benefits of being an assistant at a successful program, like Michigan, if you hire Moore for sake of conversation, he doesn't get to bring his roster and UM players are NOT portal skating to IU. Plus you only get 1 shot at the free transfer, so, pick wisely I think IU needs to be different, there are plenty of ROP spread teams out there, how dod you set yourself apart? Any real good Option Coaches still out there in College? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballking16 Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Hearing IU AD (and he sucks) has targeted Pat Fitzgerald (would be a great hire) but facing a major hurdle getting clearance from the university president and BoT. Jason Candle or Paul Chryst the other rumored candidates. Won’t need to interview outside that pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
