Too bad, been competitive in most games, just couldn’t close out. Would have waited one more year but coaches go quickly. Wish him well.
At 33 wins, at a $21 million buyout he got paid $636,000 per win. I realize the math isn’t perfect regarding past salary etc. but either way, a ridiculous amount of money for perennial losing program.
Here is a novel idea, go year to year contract, and pay based on each win. Take the contract savings and reduce admission fees!
Tell us you don’t understand how recruiting works without telling us you don’t understand how recruiting works.
Indiana’s football ceiling in the new Big Ten is (on average) a 7-5 program. Some years a little better, some years a little worse. With the PAC-12 schools coming in it will be even harder for IU (and Purdue) to get to bowl eligibility. The new schedules are very tough.
Here’s their 2024 schedule
Western Illinois
UCLA
UNC Charlotte
Maryland
Northwestern
Nebraska
Washington
Michigan State
Michigan
Ohio State
Purdue
I hope the AD is on the phone to Antoine Randle El. He is on the Lions Coaching staff..He could be what they need to recruit from the transfer portal…..
Randal El has less than 5 years experience as a NFL position coach. Zero experience on game planning, the thousands of administrative details of a college HC, or recruiting. Spoiler Alert, no 17 year old or anyone in the portal has a clue who he is. Similar to Jeff Saturday, he seems like a nice guy and reminds you of some winning teams, so therefore he would be a great HC
Chuck, let people Clark live their delusions and think they have all the answers.
IU football is an enjoyable joke of a program.
Thank God!!! Straight trash!!!!
Well, 15.5 million isn’t too shabby. Nice handshake.
What? Are the trustees who allow these contracts to be signed? Is the defense to such contracts that in order to attract a purported quality coach that these types of contracts cannot be escaped?
Makes you wonder if the real problem wasn’t his inability to recruit, instead of coaching. I know the two go together, but some coaches just are not great recruiters. His early success would have been partially and/or maybe solely off of Wilson’s recruiting classes. The decline over the past 4 years (with just his recruits) is evidence to me that he just did not have a very good handle on identifying talent and recruiting that talent. NIL, the portal, etc. may also have been issues as well.
He ran around like a maniac on the sidelines, even when that accomplishment was beating Akron … in overtime.
IU gambled he was going to be the guy, someone worth protecting from getting poached by another school with bigger pockets. He wasn’t.
You could make the case that when it comes to football, IU should just get used to being in the situation where if they find the right coach, they’ll likely get poached to go to another program. Look at what Purdue did with Brohm – they gave him a couple raises during his tenure as other schools sniffed around, but I think all sides understood they weren’t going to give him a Brinks truck to not go home to Louisville.
NIL and the portal are going to make recruiting tough for all but 8 of the 18 Big 10 teams in 2024. IU along with the other 9 teams are hoping to put the best JV team on the field they can.
In 2019 and 2020, Michigan fans wanted Harbaugh gone. Instead, the admin signed him to a 4 year extension. Now, Michigan is once again undefeated heading into a third consecutive appearance in the 4 team playoff. Not saying that Tom Allen is Harbaugh. And, 7 years is a decent time to figure it out. But, I hope IU has a plan (other than fire the head coach). Sounds like things went downhill when IU lost its offensive coordinator.
Who couldn’t see this coming two years ago? Fred Glass should pitch in to cover the cost of this buyout
UK and IU were in very similar shapes several years ago. UK made the decision to actually create its own solid program which required comments from all University Sectors as well as the state & alumni. Today it has a very solid successful program.
I. U. has to get off its duff, get organized, establish its own solid respectable focused program. It is a outstanding world class academic university, nevertheless having a “not ready for prime time” sports program tarnishes the institution.
Spot on John L.
The root of the problem at IU is the lack of institutional; support and until that changes switching out coaching staffs is like treating a symptom instead of the disease.
CTA needed to go but unless the institution looks at the college landscape to see what truly needs to be done to have a successful program and commit to it we will be firing out next coach in 3-5 years and simply restart the fire/hire process.
