Payday Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 10 minutes ago, IU Scott said: You just sound like a bitter old man and why do you care about IU football since your son is no longer here. So, ok. Well my mother side of the family has been around there forever and some of the Crane family has followed IU for a long time. As far as bitter, not towards the school. I would have helped pay to remove deborge because of the way he handled the players. Like I said, we lost players because of him. As far as old, well, maybe I did get old somewhere along the way. Damn sure feels like it in the morning sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, the good news is that football historians can finally get the Rutgers vs Princeton offensive game plan from him for the very first college football game ever played.

Payday Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Joking aside, between this and the DC, this is a huge change for the program and great news. Get a high profile OC and let both do their job, this is bigger than if they had fired Allen. This will have immediate impact. The only thing that would make this better is if they did go get Applewhite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just hopeful we go out and get a superstar OC. Allen is a simpleton coaching but he is a good guy and if he had top notch coordinators this program could get real exciting.

Even when you say something good about the program, you still have to take an unnecessary shot at Allen by calling him a simpleton. I like some of your posts, but the cheap shots because you don't like him are tiresome and unwarranted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Fingers crossed, this is a great opportunity for IU to snag somebody. Allen has commented before that, as a defensive guy, he knows what kind of offensive principles keep him up at night that he has trouble stopping. So, I think Allen is going to go for somebody who will pressure the defense. Tough, physical running with downfield passing is a good combo to me. I like horizontal concepts but not at the expense of the TE. I hope we get somebody who can expand on our recruiting opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the hiring of a DC and an OC coming, we should be in good shape snd Allen has taken himself out of the direct fire. These moves should have happened when first hired.

I'd like to see us get somebody with ties to Texas. We've been doing really well in Florida and Indiana, so getting into Texas would be the next huge opportunity.

I do appreciate your contributions and the insight that you provide. I agree he probably should have done this before, but I think a sign of a good leader is being able to adapt and work on their weeknesses. Also, with the defense, maybe he didn't have anybody he could trust to run it the right way and waited until he had Wommack in the right place. I'm happy we hired him to be DC. The talent is coming in, so if he gets this hire right, he could really set us up for some good years. I'm just glad we won't have to see as many 1st down runs up the middle and 3 yard passes on 3rd and 9! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
