BobSaccamanno Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Big news. Makes a lot of sense. He’s a young coach, but he’s built up a good resume to rise this fast. It looks like Wommack overlapped with Coach Allen at Ole Miss, and coached the husky position which is a hallmark of Allen’s scheme. That shows you he understands the philosophy and schemes. He has an added plus that he’s already been a small school coordinator so calling up the defensive plays won’t be brand new to him. He has some other diverse experiences as he was even a qb coach for awhile. I like the cross training and diverse experience. For example, you can attack a qb well if you can get in his head and think like one too. Having been a qb coach in the past, that might help in this regard. It’s a pretty big job for such a young guy but overall, I like the background with Allen and his other experiences. And Allen is around anyway to guide him. I hope he’s a good recruiter and can relate to players well. I would also like to see Mike Hart move up to coordinator. Debord could stay as a consultant. I have a gut feeling that Hart is on a head coaching trajectory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Part 1 of my prediction has come true, but I was guessing Inge to LB coach. It says Wommack will still be LB coach, so it will be interesting to see if Inge stays with special teams or not. I really like that Allen did this. He and Wommack have a very similar idea of what they want in a defense, so Allen can still have a big hand in it. This will free up Allen to oversee other parts of the team that need help. I think it will calm him down on the sidelines too. As the DC, he'd get so fired up with big defensive plays, so hopefully without that responsibility he'll be a little calmer. I do like some of his emotion though, so hopefully he's not a stiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Daily Hoosier Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 If you don't know anything about new IU defensive coordinator Kane Wommack, and/or wonder why Tom Allen would be comfortable handing over the reins -- you'll want to read this. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/with-kane-wommack-tom-allen-had-his-ace-in-the-hole/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lot of young talent on defense, so I can't wait to see what this staff can produce. I'm going to call them AllKane for Allen and Kane. For the non-science nerds, in chemistry, alkanes are things like methane, propane, butane, octane and the like. I'm thinking we're going to have a high octane defense with AllKane at the helm. Nerd mic drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier I was trying to think of a way to leverage off of "Raising Cain" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
