Leathernecks Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) The CFP really needs to be expanded. It is a joke right now. If you aren't one of about 5 teams, you have really low odds of ever making it. Of the 7 years of the CFP, 22 of the 28 spots have gone to Bama, OSU, Clemson, ND, or Oklahoma. That obviously makes sense because those are often the best teams, but there is a clear bias by the selection committee to try to get certain teams in. With only 4 teams, there are some really good teams that don't have the right name on their jersey that get left out. Also, at 8 teams, we could be getting real close to that in the next couple years. Edited January 17, 2021 by Leathernecks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Power 5 cons get 5 spots for their conference champs. Now we can debate on the 3 "wild cards." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s worked for some big southern schools, UNC, Florida, Tenn, and of course Georgia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just an outstanding hire.....and I know exactly where IU sits in the pecking order of things but when we can reach a guy who has been where he's been. Man. The guy will be a head coach someday but why not get 3-4 years from him and a dozen or so NFL prospects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hopeful it was going to be Symons, but like I said earlier, if this guy beat out Symons, he must be pretty impressive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 I’m a bit surprised because I’m not sure about his prior knowledge of the 4-2-5. I’m sure Coach Allen will address it when they introduce him. Maybe Allen will be hands on and work with him in installing it. Georgia is always fast on D and we’ve been headed that way. I like that trend and expect it to accelerate. https://247sports.com/Article/Indiana-Hoosiers-football-Charlton-Warren-defensive-coordinator-Georgia-Bulldogs-football-coach-159449834/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) I see that he went to school and played at the Air Force Academy. So, not surprisingly, he’s really smart. You’d expect that for a coordinator. I think of disciplined play too when I think of the academies. I like coaches who get penalties and errors way down. He sounds like a very solid hire.

Smart, disciplined...and that honesty works on the recruiting trail. Really good news this afternoon for IU football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Good video about some of the ideas Warren and Smart used with their DBs. (Don't tell @IU Scott he said the a-word haha.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan1901 Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 A lot of UGA fans are glad he’s leaving, sounds like they didn’t like the backfield or something. But it’s Georgia fans, so whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierfan1901 Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 I wonder if Jason Jones wasn’t ready or Symons decided to stay put at Liberty. Either way, it is one great hire in my opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leathernecks Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 This could be huge for recruiting too. The last 2 seasons, he's been in the top 25 recruiters on 247. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'd say the name...but those recruits were choosing him and Georgia over Bama, Clemson,etc....which means he has something that separates himself or adds value to choose Georgi over those schools. I know we won't be getting those types but good 4 star guys we now have as good as chance as anyone....especially in defensive backfield. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
