TJD hasn't played well in a while. No matter who's playing, whatever's going on with him, he better figure it out quickly.

Seems like a good hire to me. That's a lot of experience.

Thought he deserved his own thread: https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-football-recruiting-hoosiers-add-louisiana-based-dl-jmari-monette-to-2022-class/ https://hoosierhuddle.com/hoosier-blog/hoosiers-add-louisiana-dl-jmari-monette-to-the-2022-recruiting-class/2022/2/2 http://www.hudl.com/v/2GW1nH

We’re going to soon find out.

He was here for a year and they went 2-10. Not dismissing him, I am as bummed as anyone, but let the season play out before we start jumping off the rooftops. Everyone is dramatic these days. It’s not like he’s leaving to go to PUke. ND is a big deal. Sorry fans, that’s a better job, and apparently he’s no different than most in coaching, he'll take a better job. From what I've read, he wanted the ND job previously and was actually the second choice this time, I believe former Bears RB coach was their first choice. Once Pitre decided to stay in the NFL, DM was their guy. If the Hiller rumor is proven true, then CTA will look foolish. But I don’t buy it. https://footballscoop.com/news/notre-dame-hiring-former-nfl-chiefs-assistant-deland-mccullough https://irishsportsdaily.com/s/16898/potential-notre-dame-running-back-coach-candidates

Let’s not get dramatic. Let’s see how this season plays out. If they win two games, you can get dramatic. This blows but if DM didn’t have his sons, nobody would really care too much about this. It’s an odd situation and hurts the recruiting class rankings.

It's definitely a house of cards with very little margin. Look at the OSU game, complete sellout to start the game, a few thousand fans at the end. I am not down on the program or CTA, but he's never been the man in charge of a P5 conference program. At a consistently good program, you have to have a backup plan for your backup plan. At IU, you need backup plans x4. IU is going to lose talent on and off the field, but you have to minimize the damage as best you can. If you can't, the ship can go down pretty quickly. But that being said, I think last year was an outlier. I expect us to to bounce back and compete for bowl eligibility and when it's all said and done, that's what I care about. The rest is icing on the cake.

Why is that though? And are you saying Deland's interest in ND is not based on internal conflict? If not, why is he interviewing after uprooting his entire family to come back to IU? Something is odd about this whole situation. I understand Notre Dame is more prestigious, but so was the NFL.

I think Tom Allen is the perfect type of coach for IU, I really do. But you have to be objective about the performance of your guys and the state of the program. If you cannot make the tough decisions, then you can't be the head coach. Another responsibility is listening to your coaches, players, and others who might see things a bit differently. This would be a bad look for CTA if true. If he's willing to sink himself and the program over one guy, then this program has some serious problems. I have questioned his decision to play his son after multiple injuries. I don't believe his talent is better than the guys listed behind him. So I hope these rumors are not true.

Well that's ridiculous.

So he is interviewing?

So is he interviewing with them? And if so, why?

I would assume just $$. But I agree, does seems weird. But ND guys are like, "why wouldn't he leave...?" My question is the same as yours, I am sure he could have gone anywhere.

Reading some ND boards, one says he's not coming, another said he's interviewing this week.

Wow, that would be big blow. College football is pretty wild when it comes to coaches coming and going.

He had a calf injury, which is related to this. So it's not surprising. Glad it's nothing worse. Cliff's gotta stretch these guys out better

I think all the blocks in the first half led to some undisciplined defense in the second half. Everyone was leaving their feet on EVERY shot.

I would hire a cheesy celeb on Cameo to make my announcement.

Looked him up. Played his Junior season with Arch Manning, then decommitted from LSU in August and moved to FLA. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb/western-wide-receiver-a-j-johnson-named-to-under-armour-all-american-team/ar-AAPaI1l?ocid=Peregrine& Although I don't see him listed on the roster for that game, nor can I find much more info on him besides the stats listed in the article. I am guessing he got hurt or ran into some trouble. Seems like a high ceiling guy if healthy. Not really active on Twitter. So the mystery continues.

This makes sense. I think he's got a ton of potential, he's just not strong enough on defense or at the rim, which I think will be a key component to his game because of his speed. Anyone thinking he was one or two and done and not a four + year player was high on goofballs. I do believe Archie was desperate for a recruiting win which stinks for him, but I don't see how he would have been starting at any high level program this year regardless. He's got a year of college games and practices under his belt and still couldn't get on the floor for a team that struggles at the PG position.
