You are dead wrong in this instance, DMC told CTA that DH was a huge problem and needed to go, he was told to coach his position group better and that the OL was “not a problem”. Had DH been “let go” DMC would have not listened to ND, that is fact.
Oh hell nah!
- Thread starter Pigalow
- Start date
I get all that but it’s bad behavior that led to the mutiny. He lost his team and the administration confidence first. Hard to stay focused when you are skirt chasing and being a pompous prick to everyone including your players. His divorce was public and ugly.
I don't hear anything. I read things. I formed my own opinion. The Chiefs had 3 coaches for 2 spots. One of them, out of the blue, bolts for IU and declares his love for #LEO and the University.
How do you know what my opinion is on the status of the team? There are clearly serious issues. They went 2-10 FFS.
I really hope that is not true. If it is that's an indictment on Allen. Lose your best coach because you refuse to see the elephant in the room.
who in the transfer portal made a difference with this team last year? Penix....at times but couldn't stay healthy. Reece Taylor...not a difference maker/lock down corner. who?? We got a lot better in the portal than what left in the portal. FACT.
As much as I hate to say it, it is true, and I’ve been a big Tom Allen fan, I think I’ve supported that view with my postings here. That said, this is inexcusable, CTA has blinders on when it comes to Hiller and it is creating major issues, it’s sad really……sigh
1)The Bell hire was head-scratching; 2) the McCullough departure is devastating; and 3) Hiller's continued status as OL coach is utterly baffling. Even if "2" above isn't directly a function of "3," Tom Allen's judgment and leadership are now very much in question.
So why did he call Allen, looking for a job? Hiller was OL coach then.
this is so incredibly short sighted. Just because a star starter didn't leave doesn't mean that it's not impactful. Depth was impacted, and role players left.
James Miller, DK Bonhomme were both back up LBs that were impactful and likely starters or depth in the next two years. So was CJ Person... let's not forget our favorite benedict arnold Reece Taylor.
Miles Marshal was the #3 WR who slipped last season, Hewitt was #4
The running back room lost their starter by the end of last season... regardless of whether or not he was a walk on. Poindexter was a contributor.
Bjorson was the top blocking TE who was big on the goal line.
No, they're not all Penix... but they're in the depth chart and impact development and depth
Development and depth is critical to building a program.
Interested to know how you are aware of this?
Could be, and I have noted the DH issue several times, but I am certainly not dead wrong about the alure of coaching at ND. We aren't in the same zip code as ND.
And I saw what Kookie said, which went hand in hand with what I was told
No one is debating ND football vs IU football, but DMC left the Chiefs to come here, not SB. He has already coached at USC and in the Super Bowl with the KC Chiefs, he has been at the pinnacle, which ND is not. He wanted to be HERE with his kids, now they will all be divided, if you can’t see there is more going on here than “ND”, just don’t know what to tell you.
You seem to have a lot of specifics(not that I am disagreeing with you) but what's your source on this?
Uh the coach who accomplished those things is gone.
Domers will be eating some humble pie soon enough.
I hope DMAC doesn't unpack his shit - he may be on the move again shortly.
He will be on the move again, this is clearly a career move and I can't argue RB's coach at ND is a better position than RB's coach at IU, it will hold a lot more weight at during those HC interviews, but this is very clearly a step for him. He has no previous ties to ND, he's there a max of 2 years before he moves on to becoming HC at a GO5/FCS school.
This is true. I am still shocked they plucked their coach from the great Darrell Hazel coaching tree.
Obviously if I put that out there , let’s just say it wouldn’t be very smart on my part if I want to continue to hear things. And I’m not here to “convince” or change minds merely saying what I’ve heard and what has seemingly been confirmed in other places.
exactly. why did he leave KC? is there a back story there? me thinks there's more to this scenario than meets the eye.
I got this wrong … I am OK with that … Don’t see an official announcement … but the articles keep coming
All three sons remain committed to IU

I will take that as a compliment.
ND is indeed one of the biggest brands in the country.
His sons have all indicated they are staying with IU, that may upset you but it certainly supports my contention (which includes my postings about the need to move on Hiller).
Why would that upset me? And glad to see you also agree that Hiller has to go. I still think that the hiring of our OC and the retention of Hiller was the main cause.
