dgambill Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, IU Scott said: At least at my school and when I was in school we had a lot more breaks during the day. That made it easier to stay in our desk and listen to the teacher. We had 3 recesses and a lunch break. Also we had gym class so that was more activity time Kids also ate a tiny tiny portion of the sugar and processed foods that they do now, got tons more exercise at home if not worked and did chores, and no one sit in front of a TV/video game screen for hours on end. Kids went to bed exhausted because they were active and in fact teachers had more trouble keeping them awake more than sitting still in my experience.

Next year it falls to $3M. Dolson got played. Brohm’s last contract at Purdue was similar with regards to a much smaller buyout if he left versus getting fired. Pretty standard for coaches who have options. Edited October 20, 2023 by Boiler Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always knew UL would continue to come calling and they had much deeper pockets. Allen on the other hand was basically in his dream job…no place to go.

Sleep is probably more important than anything. Too little, too much, or bad quality greatly impacts people's health. Those who "sleep when they die" die much earlier than people who get the recommended hours sleep. People don't take sleep as seriously as they should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is scooping up Indiana's coach after a year or two unless they go undefeated in a non covid season. You'd have to be super desperate.

I’ve lived in SEC country now longer than I’ve lived in Indiana…he would have not have made it through the donor approval process though…even if an AD or two floated the name there is no doubt a stink would have been made shortly after. The pedigree even through the Covid season is not there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Somehow, IU needs to find their Barry Alvarez. Prior to his arrival, WI had one bowl win in their history (Independence Bowl). In the six years before he arrived, they had seven B1G wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in Madison and went to the game where Anthony Thompson ran for over 340 yards v Bucky. Camp Randall was 2/3rds empty. I was there the first year they went to the Rose Bowl. 2/3rds of the city was in Pasadena, ticket or no ticket. Yes, it can be done! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought Bill Mallory should have been our Barry Alvarez. What if money was pumped into the football program to upgrade facilities and such around 1987-1988? Took way to long for any investment in the infrastructure of IU football to occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentioned on fan boards is A LOT different than being mentioned by ADs and donors. CTA just had no proven history to take over an historical good program, let's get real here. Maybe after 5 or so 9+ wins seasons would he be mentioned for a real top notch job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDIUFAN Posted October 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Wow! I’m not qualified to answer this,but is it coaching or lack of talent? Our receivers don’t seem to be road burners that can get open deep. Our QBs either one of them can’t seem to hit mid range passes in stride. The run game has shown a little improvement. The Defense just spends too much time on field. So what is it poor coaching or poor recruiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common Sense Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 You aren't one of the worst football teams in power 5 without checking many, MANY boxes. The blame starts and ends with Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierinbham Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 Anyone else think the Justin Fuente hire as an "offensive analyst" was insurance in case CTA is fired during the season? Carey could easily slide to interim HC and Fuente to OC. Carey will have great insight regarding the entire football program to help evaluate for a coaching search.

No. That’s an Allen hire not a Dolson hire. Everyone has hired analysts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
