    Former IU Assistants now control Alabama Football

    Welcome to the theater of the absurd.

    Failing with Good Coaches

    And now Wommack is Bama's DC. God is this starting to look stupid. We could fill out an all star game with ex Indiana coaches.

    Failing with Good Coaches

    Kevin Peoples who Allen fired just got hired by to be LSU's defensive line coach.

    Failing with Good Coaches

    The Bell hire was certainly the final catastrophe. And the crazy part is he that Rod Carey was also applying to be on his staff at that time. If he hires Carey instead of Bell, I think he's got two six win seasons and he's still coaching. Probably better for Indiana that did not happen, but it's...

    Failing with Good Coaches

    Much has been said about Tom Allen's bad hires, but he also had some really talented coaches (most of whom he somehow managed to fail with). Hard to believe he had Alabama's coach, the head coach at Southern Alabama, the safeties coach for Ohio State, North Carolina's secondary coach, Missouri's...

    Cigs Tryout Strategy

    I don't know how he convinced so many productive veteran players to commit at so many positions, but overbooking is a hell of a strategy from a competition standpiont, and I will shocked if it does not work. I think they are basically letting guys compete and then encourage kids who fall into...

    Sun Belt U

    My is an all Sun Belt player is lower to mid level player in the Big Ten which is exactly what we need.

    Another RB transfer

    My guess is that the spring is for "making the team". Not sure how you convince all of these transfers to come in and compete for a spot but somehow they have done it.

    Franklin (P$U) is such a putz

    Hiring Allen was a real head scratcher. Allen was a good DC, but he was never at the level of a Manny Diaz. Nobody is going to be happy with going from the best defense in the country to the 25th best defense in the country which is probably what happens.

    Transfers incoming

    In fairness, Air Force gives just about every they play fits. They really know how to block and make a defense look bad. The best three teams JMU probably played were UVA, Troy and Marshall and they held each of those teams under 20 yards of rushing for the game which is nuts. If I had a...

    IU gets Nick Kidwell OL stud transfer

    What was the injury and when is he back?

    James Madison Bowl

    It's a big step up from this conference to the Big Ten. It would be surprising if their transfers made a big impact.

    Im incredibly sad we didnt get the Eastern Michigan coach

    If this is the criteria, did you watch the JMU game? Cignetti was my second choice, ironically the guy from Air Force was my first choice.

    Becoming Clear who the recruiters are

    To date it does not look like recruiting is Bostad's strength. His incoming class was pretty unheralded and he did not do a great job on retention. He's clearly not Mr. Personality, but on the flip side I think whomever he coaches is going to develop so I'll take any recruiting shortcoming in...

    Becoming Clear who the recruiters are

    Shanahan appears to be an ace recruiter judging by what he just did in a week in the receiver room. Sunseri's dad was a big name recruiter and it looks like his son is off to a good start at QB.

    Another WR

    This kid has some speed. Was not as impressed with the kid from Tech. He's solid and elusive but this kind can run. Awful lot of receptions in that receivers room all of the sudden. There are going to be at least three or four who can really play out of a group that has been that successful.

    Tom Allen Named DC at Penn State

    This is great for Tom Allen, but it's a shocker to me in that they are going from a guy who is arguably the best DC in college football to a guy who is a good defensive coordinator but nowhere Manny Diaz's level. Hopefully this works our for Penn State and Allen. Hell of a rebound by Allen...

    Any word on James (DL) and Dunnam (S)?

    I have a hard time with Dunham. He was a terrible tackler. I am sure part of that was a function of the safeties coach doing a terrible job teaching fundamentals, but I am guessing there are replacements out there that are at least his equal.

    Word on Jaylin Lucas?

    Lucas might be the most overhyped player in the history of the program. He's a great kickoff returner, but he has not been sure handed enough to handle punts, dropped a ridiculous number of passes, and is afraid to get hit as a running back. The new staff might be able to fix him, but there has...

    The Replacement Thread---Upgrade or Downgrade

    I'd agree with that.
