    re UCLA hiring Eric Bieniemy as OC

    From what I’ve heard, Chip Kelly was actively seeking any viable coaching position his last two years at UCLA. The university has demonstrated little investment or interest in big time football. Unless this changes with the move to the Big Ten, the job will be a coaching graveyard.

    Zander Diamont on Crimsoncast

    Inaccurate! In the podcast, Zander indicated that he was having physical symptoms (from medium level hits) that indicated he should step away. This was in the middle of Wilson’s last season. He also described his difficulty adding weight to his frame. He claims to have topped out close to 170...

    Jon Gruden, Chris Creighton, Randal-El

    The point was (and is) you don't have command of the facts regarding Chris Creighton's coaching career. Hopefully, consumers of this board/thread will then recognize your post as an ill-informed opinion about an experienced and very successful builder of previously moribund football programs.

    Jon Gruden, Chris Creighton, Randal-El

    There are several inaccuracies in your latest post: 1. Chris Creighton's first year coaching at EMU was 2014 not 2013 as your post indicated. 2. Chris Creighton's record (2-10) in his first year (2014) was the same--not worse--than his predecessor's (Ron English) record (2-10) during his last...

    Toledo and EMU are not analogous in historical success or resources. Toledo is one of the blue bloods in the MAC conference. EMU has historically been one of the downtrodden. In fact, early in Creighton’s tenure EMU considered dropping down a level or two. They will go to their third straight...

    So Who Is Your First Choice?

    I'll second that!

    Coy Cronk was the first red flag about Tom Allen.

    Get counseling.

    Get Chris Creighton ASAP.

    Agreed. From this Hoosier fan's perspective, Chris Creighton would be a great hire. EMU was a moribund program until Creighton resuscitated it. His sustained success there is quite remarkable.

    Thanks Tom Allen

    Thank you challenging this ridiculous assertion. "A running joke in college football" ... please ... as if you know the world of college football!?! The truth appears to be quite the opposite. After Coach Allen's success in 2019 and 2020, I noticed several programs appearing to adopt a more...

    Do you think Allen's future rests with Sat's Purdue game outcome?

    Has anyone reviewed the coaching record of Frank Beamer at Virginia Tech? He had six year run at Murray State with modest success. It then took him seven years to gain traction in Blacksburg. From this fan’s perspective, I don’t see any signs that a change is about to be made. My sense is...

    Egg Bowl

    As a Hoosier alum, who lives in Starkville and works at State, the animosity between MSU and Ole Miss is real. There are social and economic aspects to the rivalry that take it to another level.

    Change in Direction

    Hate to see people fired although this is sometimes the price of growth! I could be mistaken but the Coach Allen press conference strongly suggests to me that there will be a change in defensive coordinator at the end of this season—maybe prior. The look, directness, and vocabulary in the...

    Illinois Quarterbacks

    I've only seen a few segments of Illini football this season. I know Luke Altmyer is mobile and has been "feast or famine" (e.g., turnover prone). Anybody have a sense of his availability given his injury late in the Minnesota game? What about the back-up other than he played at Ball State and...

    Positive IUFB Season Sentiments Only

    I'll add a few: 8. Sustained and noticeable improvement by the offense following the bye week—more needed. 9. After two consecutive strong outings by the team, there appears to be a growing belief and chemistry.

    Kudos to staff and players

    Horse manure. Coach Allen was responding to a reporter's question about this season; he responded accordingly. He was not giving a historical perspective of the last three, five, or 130 years. Undeniably, the season's strength of schedule and five Big Ten road games is very challenging. His...

    Would 3-1 to close the season change your mind?

    Two today!!

    Would 3-1 to close the season change your mind?

    Thank you … two thirds of the way through the season and zero fumble recoveries—odd. Maybe, they come in bunches the rest of the season.

    Would 3-1 to close the season change your mind?

    One of the falsehoods that is regularly trotted out to justify Tom Allen’s departure is penalties or—even worse—untimely penalties, which essentially makes the claim unfalsifiable. Statistically, we average 5.1 penalties per game, which places us in the upper quartile for fewest penalties...
