WR coach for the Dallas Cowboys the last 2 years. This is a huge upgrade over Heard, imho.
Adam Henry - New WRs coach
- Thread starter Bligedy
- Start date
Check out who he coached while at LSU...
You can’t complain about this hire.
I think this is a good hire but I will say that he was absolutely hated in Cleveland. Coaching OBJ and Jarvis is instant credibility and can make any coach look good. Fans were mad because he left with a year left on his contract and leaving OBJ and Landry, whom he had great relationships with. It’s definitely a improvement and he should be able to recruit at a high level.

Apparently he is also the co-offensive coordinator.
Wonder how that works. I would assume Bell would still be calling plays or do they rock paper scissor it for every play call?

Good deal, I like his background and experience. Go Hoosiers!
Paper title used to increase your comp.Apparently he is also the co-offensive coordinator.

I don't know how coach Allen keeps doing it. This team was 2-10 last year and barely competitive. This place should be a ghost town.
The coach is definitely giving it his all. We're lucky to have him.

Wow, a current NFL WR coach, with proven college experience. Looks like a great hire!
First a RB coach with a ton more NFL experience than the guy he replaced and now a WR coach with even more time in the NFL coaching premier talent... I think it's a huge upgrade at both positions.
Here's a 15 month old SI article about him with a speaking clip attached:

Awesome hire. Wonder why you leave the Cowboys for Indiana? I love both teams and being a Cowboys fan is a similar type of torture...
I think working for Jerry Jones, even indirectly, could be torture as well. He sees himself as a coach and it's known that he does like to meddle.
AH sounds like a tough guy. And I like that aspect in a Coach who is also a teacher.
So we lose an underwhelming guy to some Florida directional school and replace him with a highly touted NFL coach? Cool. #leo
Seems to not stay in one place very long . Seems like a nomadic career, but it’s that way with a lot of coaches . Hope he does well here , and stays for awhile .
jones wants to be the owner, the GM, the head coach, and the QB.
Well, as they always ask in the SEC can he recruit?
Maybe he knows way more autonomy on offense at IU versus in pros and with Jones family lurking over you? Coach Allen has turned offensive keys over to Bell, who now has two former pro coaches on staff. (If only we could work a Hiller trade, I’d literally think best staff we’ve had if that happened). I think Bell is going to be a good one. DeBoer was awesome, Sheridan was over his head. Think Bell is ready to shine in the right spot for him now.
Coach Allen pulls off another very good hire to help IU win now and in the near future. IU has NFL experience to go long with the college experience needed in recruiting. Coach lives the "don't blink" mantra when replacing coaches that leave.

So he was hated for reasons that no one on here will give a crap about? Works for me!
Looks like he was dealing the deaths of his father, and didn't prioritize his contract extension. A bit shady on Dallas's part, imo. I hate to capitalize on a tragic circumstance, but welcome to IU, coach. We're definitely much much better off now.
Until he leaves for a “better” job. It seems to be a pattern.
Welcome to college football. You hire good coaches and/or you have success then people are going to want to poach your staff.
What happens when you hire below average coaches and have no success? Teams like UCF still poach ‘em. #nolovelost
That is definitely possible, especially considering reports of Bell's coaching style.
Bell is very hands on which could be seen as micro managing. That can be annoying to some
I don’t think he’s going to micromanage the wide receivers once the new coach arrives. He is probably micromanaging the offensive line and thank God for that!
Did I see a Cam Cameron cameo in that bio? Maybe that was a connection to IU?
There is an IU connection to boot with LSU OC Cam Cameron, in the bio.
He's micromanaging the RBs with the new coach already here so he will probably continue.
Oh, and Hiller is giving TA direct "advice" on how to do things. Gooood luck.
and Coach [Darren] Hiller, that came to me and said it would be wise if we did it this way this year because of some of the things we are doing different.
Well..., we had stability at that slot with Heard for multiple years and got what seemed like a billion drops over his tenure along an All Big Ten Wide Receiver who appeared to literally forget how to play the position last Fall...
I'll take a couple of years of high level coaching (and actual Big Ten Level execution) versus any concerns about "stability" ...
I'd much rather have a gifted vagabond grace us with his presence for two or three years than have a lesser talent show up and just do enough to keep his job for multiple years...
This is a Big Time hire... Enjoy it... 🍺😄🍺

Well said. It's silly to frett over stability. It's like the equivalent of when people say "first world problem" ...if you're getting good position coaches that's the price of doing business.
