Wisconsin was on a downturn under him IMO. Yeah. Firing Tom Allen for Paul Chryst.. 🤢🤢🤢 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 I think Tom Herman is a very underrated coach. He had a very bright star and is very smart. Didn’t get much of a chance at Texas and is out there. I’d be interested. Chryst has a good record. He reportedly just turned down Northwestern so not sure what is on his mind. There are a number of good options out there. Let’s just hope we go down the right track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman is finishing the first year of a 5 year deal at Florida Atlantic...$2.5 million buyout if we wanted him, tacked onto the $20+ mil that Allen is owed... I agree he didn't get much of a chance in Austin... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. But he’s a darn good coach. He is also just an example…a guy who is looking at a shot to get back in.

As was said above a plan needs to be in place for NIL and facilities as well. I get it’s a tall order but let me dream for a few days before they hire a non power 5 coach lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a home run but no way they hire him unless the president backs it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 I forgot about Tom Herman. That would intrigue me very much. Mensa material. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUJoe Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 1 minute ago, IU Scott said: I take Gary Patterson With all due respect, this is what I don't get. Patterson was below .500 his last 4 years at TCU, then they fire him and go to the playoffs. Why would a guy who stopped winning at a school capable of going to the final 4 be successful at Indiana? A lot, if not all, of these "experience" guys would be Gerry Dinardo, Part 2. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirdgenhoosier Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Any thoughts on Jake Dickert the Washington State coach? He’s originally from the midwest and with WSU no longer in a power 5 conference could he look to move like the Oregon State coach? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoyeCowbell Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Since this thread is specifically about CTA and his firing, I just want to state how incredible I felt watching the '20 season. Some want to give more credit to DeBoer and Wommack, but it was still being driven by Coach Allen. It was just a fun team with some serious dudes creating havoc and making plays. I know I'm not the only one that got excited. I know I'm not the only one who bought in and projected a longer period of sustained success. Whatever was happening around the program was palpable and real. It sucks that it didn't last. Sucks bad. But if anything, it also proves just how thirsty Indiana University football fans are. We want to win at our core. We've seen winning all around us at this school. I love basketball more, but seeing the football program compete (and beat) some of the more hallowed teams in the country was a top level thrill. Why Indiana? Because despite the quick chirps and easy takedowns, I really believe a lot of people care about the program. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think looking at what Allen did in those first few years can (and maybe should) be the blueprint we are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
