I wouldn’t be surprised if the OL performance and play calling continued a downward spiral this season, that Coach Allen fires Sheridan or Hiller at the end of the season, if not before it’s over. It’s just a gut feeling I’ve had for some time. I’ve noticed several times after a particular poor offensive play call or set from IU, the camera zooms in on Coach Allen and he’s visibly frustrated, appearing to be questioning certain play calls. I was trying to read his lips one particular time and I swear he said, “What the HECK was that???” In all his post game interviews with Fisher, Coach Allen keeps shouldering the blame for IU’s problems this year, as any good coach should. He keeps repeating the same thing, “ Our coaches have got to do a better job of coaching and preparing these player, … and it starts with me, I’m the head coach.” I think he’s very pleased with all the coaches on the defensive side of the ball. I don’t think he’s confident with the job Sheridan and Hiller have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Surprised I didn't see this being discussed. Baldwin in transfer portal. To me this seems odd timing wise but it seems like Mike Hart had his guys and Deland McCullough wants a different type of back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he can red shirt or if he played in more than 4 of our 5 games. Kind of sucks because he was the only back I saw with that second gear that could possibly break off a long run. That said he put the ball on the ground too much and got in the doghouse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't blame a coach for that......It is what it is....If Baldwin holds onto the ball vs. Cincy, we most likely score and potentially win game.

I don’t think he’s confident with the job Sheridan and Hiller have done. Hiller definitely has got to go. I’m tired of our offensive line being bad every year. It used to actually be a strength under Wilson. Sheridan most likely gotta go as well. I’d like to see what happens with Tuttle under center though before I’m for sure but so far the offense has been way to predictable beside the Cincy game where we used some nice Mis Direction plays.

btownqb Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Hopefully Tim Baldwin's future boss never holds him accountable for his mistakes. What a chump. RBs have become the new drama queens in football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 I know you need a back that will grind out those yards and especially move the pile forward on those short yardage plays but whomever starts next year....I hope they are a little closer to Tevin Coleman then Stephen Carr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F the grinding. We can use Spegal for that. Give me a home run hitter. Speed kills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly Baldwin was the only back that I thought had that quick burst....hoping next year we find that. Agree....defenses are getting so fast side line to side line...need someone that can put one foot in the ground and cut and hit the hole fast.

SO year he made big plays, JR year he put it all together, now he's playing on Sundays. Idk.. I'm not going to go over the top on the internet with criticism, but a ridiculous decision by Baldwin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 So is LEO dying now that we are losing?? I love our passionate coach but it's going to be hard to continue that motto when we are losing games and kids are not happy about playing time. Winning covers up a lot.
