Leathernecks Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 I was hoping to be able to keep him for 1 more year, but it isn't looking good for us. If he does leave, I wonder if we'll promote someone already on the staff. Jones spent quite a bit of time at Ole Miss and worked with Dave Wommack, so he would be my guess. He was also been co-defensive coordinator there, so he has a little experience with how that works. I thought our safety play has taken a huge jump this year, so he might be an option. Brandon Shelby has been here for 10 years, and we've had some pretty good corners during that time, so he might be another option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyHoosier22 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 His name was going to be big in coaching circles, if I am IU I am dangling the prospect of a pay raise in front of him to get him to stay, but if he wants an opportunity to be a head coach there's not much you can do.

I had a post above about it. My first bet would be Jason Jones. Worked with Wommack's dad at Ole Miss. 2nd guess would be Shelby. We've had some good corners under him. Peoples has been a good defensive line coach for a long time. Never been a coordinator, so not sure if he's interested in being one. I would think he would have had plenty of opportunities to do that by now. My guess is it is either Jones, Shelby, or an outside hire. No info, just guessing.

Happens all the time. Inge left last year to be the DC for DeBoer. If it is a lateral move, it is annoying, but I couldn't fault someone like Jones, Peoples, or Shelby going with him to become the DC there if we don't promote them.

Leathernecks Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 2.3% of FBS coaches either are Tom Allen, or have been coordinators for Allen. 3 out of 130. Keep growing that coaching tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't deserve to advance their career? That's part of it. One of my brother in laws bosses broke off from the company they were both working for to start his own company... he asked my brother in law what it would take for him to go with him... simply part of business and I'm happy for anyone that's advancing themselves and making a better life for their family. You should be too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that Coach W changes twitter profile re-tweets a whole bunch of South A. Stuff before issuing a thank you statement to IU. Coach D last year did the opposite and most do. I am confident Allen will find a great, if not better replacement. Last year, Coach W was over his head, this year he killled it. Got to think there is even more this defense can do as they mature and age. Next hire is important, but this is Allen's D and that makes me confident it is going to be great. Good luck to Coach W, bring up the next coach that extends the Allen Tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
