Let’s just say there are some former guys in the program who were pretty surprised with some decisions this off-season, so it’s not surprising to me if McCullough is perplexed, assuming it’s about who I think it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU program is on fire and not the good kind. Sounding like our worst fears are coming true. Our coach can’t let go of his buddy that is spoiling the momentum. IU football is spectacularly failing right before our eyes. smh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically that Allen isn’t being objective in regards to some of the coaches still on staff. If true, it’s obviously Hiller. His room was the least successful on the team last year considering their lack of injuries/transfers compared to others. I’m sure Hiller is a nice guy, and I don’t wish for people to lose their jobs but I haven’t seen so much as a single compliment for the job he’s don thus far. If Allen is willing to let DM walk to stick up for Hiller then he’s still not ready to be the head guy at a power 5 school. Also, if you’re gonna give a guy the “AHC” title it better carry weight otherwise it’s useless and a slap in the face when your concerns/positions are dismissed. Here’s to hoping this is all smoke, no fire or it can get fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s out, it doesn’t mean he’s wrong. if he’s out because he doesn’t think Allen holds coaches accountable….. that’s not a good look at all. Frankly I’d think it’s absurd if we lose McCollough because of Hiller. Give me DM all day over Hiller.

On the offense side of the ball I’d trust DM’s opinion far more than I’d trust Allen’s. He’s played/coached at the highest levels at that position his entire career. Allen has been involved on the offensive side of the ball for a handful of years and relied heavily on his OCs. An Associate HC & RB coach absolutely should have a say when it comes to the Offensive Line, coach and personnel. This is Allen’s program, I totally get that but Hiller is a weird position coach to draw a line in the sand for in this situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but it’s pretty perplexing we’ve had the most disappointing football season probably in program history and have made one single significant coaching change. Why are we willing to lose McCullough to protect Hiller? What O-Line has Hiller trotted out that’s ever performed above expectation? Our O Line has been consistently worse than what it was under previous coaching. I just don’t get this at all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And our AHC can't offer any more stability then that because he didn't get his way? That's pretty weak if so. DM completely decimated our RBs room, btw.

And soon Allen won’t be either if he doesn’t get the offensive side of the ball fixed. That starts with the OL. Another year like last year and he’s as good as gone. If you’re the boss you better surround yourself with top talent, not your friends…your friends will get you fired. If DM bails, it’s a horrible look…no other way to look at it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
