Was thinking skill position players. Maybe my assumption they have some talent based on what little I know of them this year is misguided, but they scored a lot more points than we did this year.
Indiana fires Tom Allen, owes him $21M

- Start date
You’re the leading candidates for dumbfvck of the week! Keep up the good work!
Since 1947 when Bo McMillin finished 14 years with a career .561% record, NOT ONE COACH has finished his time at Indiana with a winning record. That is 14 coaches and 76 seasons.
Only TWO coaches since 1947 finished above .400% - Bill Mallory and Tom Allen.
Since 1898, Tom Allen has the 8th best coaching record at Indiana.
The aforementioned Bo McMillin had a career .500% record in the conference. He is the ONLY coach that hasn't had a losing conference record in Indiana football history.
Ugh.

its hard to build something when you fire coaches every 3-4 years
You hate Kirk so damn much why do you even follow? It’s gonna be years yet.
Shouldn’t you be in the Michigan – Iowa thread rooting for more Michigan injuries?
Bill Mallory had some good teams at IU. his less than .500 record is because he lost a lot of games rebuilding the program to just above average.
Tom Allen was good enough to let him coach another year or more, who are they going to get as you spelled it out
It’s important to talk to the dumbfvcks on a level of stupidity they can appreciate. You’re welcome.
FIFY
But I have to say, given the stupidity and short sightedness of the parade of dumbfvcks you’ve chosen to represent let’s start off with your opinion which is BF wha wha wha.
🥱
Considering they’ve spent money on crappy coaches that didn’t work out, I’d take my chances.
No so bold prediction: Indiana's next coach will not fare better than Tom Allen.
That, or had a generational talent (for Indiana) at quarterback making you look good.
BF had good ideas but because his father reigned him in, wasn’t able to show his full ability. Brian began to turtle up and the offense suffered, he was never a good in home recruiter. Was he the worst OC? No. Was he the recruiter we need? No. He was a bad recruiter.
I think most schools in major conferences think of themselves as destination jobs. Find a coaching savior and lock them in with a huge contract with a massive buyout. Then it turns to crap. There is nothing wrong with hiring an excellent up and comer with a good contract and a reasonable buyout. When they move on , find and hire a new one. Outside of Saban and Smart I do not see too many coaches worth trying hire with the lure of a huge contract or buyout.
It won't matter who they hire. Football is just a warm up for the BB season.
Hmmm, what would make it hard to recruit and retain players? Injuries not withstanding.
When you have a cold sore on your lip, is it a good or bad time to hit the dating scene? Now let’s say that cold sore popped up Nov ‘20 and lasts nearly three years?
I hate to compare a horse shit case that was dismissed because the claimants couldn’t make a case to a cold sore, cold sores don’t deserve that association, but you get the point.

Don't know anything about this guy, but Iowa has gotten a bit of a pipeline into Hendricks County, IN (TE Cael Vanderbush '22, OL Leighton Jones '23), so the coaches might be familiar with him. This guy seems like a typical Iowa OL recruit - not highly rated and with mostly MAC offers. If our offensive staff can actually start developing players again, he might turn into a solid B1G OL.
still recruited well defensively, and do you think that the players who would have made a difference in 2021 were affected by the racial stuff? they would have been freshmen in 21, redshirt freshman or sophomores in 22. We need a guy who can recruit and sell the offense...then execute it.
Realistically, think the new OC is going to have to execute first, then sell, then recruit,... this is going to take some time.
Who was named in the lawsuit? Not defensive coordinators or special teams. That’s like you have the cold sore but your friends don’t.
Here’s a headline from Nov 2020, “Iowa Receiver Lockett third player to leave program in less than a week.”
To BF’s credit, nice job in the portal Dec 2022. Too bad about all the injuries. Would have been nice to see that offense settle into the season.
Not 5 weeks. Payout didn't drop until December 2024.
28 point per game average after the first five games not including the cheating MI team that probably studied us twice bc of McNamara coming over.
That was plenty to look at. Vegas shifted their line on the Barta bet after that. 😂
Why would they not have waited 5 days and fired him on December 2nd? Would have saved then like $12 million, right?
The rest of the internet says they would have had to wait until December 2024 to save $12M.
