I'd even guess they figure they deserve a big name coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DireBump Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 I do not see TA leaving IU for any reason unless he is fired. I believe he truly wants to be here. He has invested a lot into this team, and I believe he truly loves his players, especially with the LEO mantra. Plus I think he is really happy to be able to have his son on the team with him. IF TA did take a job elsewhere at the end of the season I think we would still be okay, because we have Deboer. Deboer's turnaround of the offense this year reminds me a lot of Allen's turnaround of the defense when Kevin Wilson was coach. Deboer used to be a head coach at Sioux Falls, and led them to multiple championships. I could see us easily promoting from within once again. I would miss those FL recruiting ties though!

Just the other day. Coach Allen revealed what he told the team in terms of goals he set out for them, when he took the job. I would believe Coach Allen has more plans for IU. All of which include him of never leaving IU. Just like Coach Hep. There's a basketball guy at Gonzaga. Who has been offered train loads of cash to leave. Yet, he wants to stay where he loves it. Money isn't everything. I feel Coach Allen is of the same mindset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Tom Allen does not want to be just a football coach. He wants to be the the football coach at Indiana. Zero chance he goes anywhere. And, if this year's success carries forward, I would expect the crowds will start building as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey when the HC of IUFB goes to the Union to pass out tickets for a game. One just has to understand his heart is pumping Cream and Crimson.

IU878176 Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 This seems to be Allen’s dream job. In any case I’d be stunned if FSU came after him. The Tampa paper mentioned him but Orlando mentioned 14 candidates and none of them were Allen. FSU views themselves as a “blue blood” Don’t take this wrong, as I am very happy with the direction of the program, but I don’t think beating the two worst teams in each of the Big Ten divisions is going to blow FSU away. We need to pony up a bit more for Allen and good assistants but not because we are worried about FSU hiring him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Coach Allen. It could have been worse without your help. And Coach Allen. If you ever have a say in this. Don't ever schedule a night game in November at Memorial Stadium. Early season games, when the weather is better, would be ok. First night game at Memorial Stadium. Never again, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a student at IU. There were no night games at Memorial. Just like Wrigley Field. No lights for night games. TV and tv revenue have changed all of that. And, again, now that we have lights in Memorial Stadium. Let's just use then when the folks will turn out when the weather is good.. Not because the schedule is dictated by TV. I am not talking about our ascent. But with our thought about our fans in the stands. Who should be dictated by the weather, considering our present time in our ascent, rather than by the weather. Give me day games. Or give me.... Oh you know they Patrick Henry saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
