Love what he's done for the program, but you start gameday giving a 7 point handicap. He is a horrible gameday head coach.

LOL! You might be right.He's Bill Lynch w Crean's personality.
Take points early for a 10 point lead. Next drive MP under throws a pick in EZ when you just need points. Can’t give all those points away. The last 2 picks were terrible and definitely on the QB.
The IU D and O did some good things today, but the TO’s can’t happen if IU is going to win games like this.
I thought we had that when our starting safety was a felon dealing drugs under Wilson.No mental toughness. This LEO crap has to go. I want assholes and thugs playing for IU.
Drug dealer? Nah man, he was in the “School of Independent Pharmacy”I thought we had that when our starting safety was a felon dealing drugs under Wilson.
Well come back next week but after that……. A whole lot of regression going on. Mullen and Fryfogle are not the same players and Penix of course. The best players on this team are the Transfers for the most part and that is concerning. We got one more win and after that we will be lucky to get another. Not being emotional, I said after the Iowa game we had a game to work things out and then we would see what we had. This is it.You guys are idiots. This knee jerk stuff after games is ridiculous.
IU played well enough to win, and obviously Allen should have kicked an FG up 7-0. There was a terrible no call on PI on Fryfogle. Roughing the passer on Allen was terrible.
The targeting was a bad call and completely changed the game.
There's still a ton of winnable games on the schedule, and I understand being frustrated after losing a game that should have been a win. But seriously, this board is a craphole after a loss.
Give me a frigging break. The refs didn't take this game away from us. We shot ourselves in the foot, time and again.You guys are idiots. This knee jerk stuff after games is ridiculous.

At what point did I say the refs cost us the game? I generally don't blame the officials. There were crucial calls that cost us opportunities to win.Give me a frigging break. The refs didn't take this game away from us. We shot ourselves in the foot, time and again.
And spare us the "we played well enough to win" nonsense. It's a bottom line business, and the bottom line is we lost. Nothing else matters.
Finally, the Big Ten East looks significantly stronger this year, with Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State and Maryland much improved. You might be seeing a "ton of winnable games;" I'm seeing a ton of games where we're going to be the underdog.
Our #17 preseason ranking seems like a very long time ago.
Agree Fryfogle needs to step up and catch a ball. But when a DB grabs your arm and pulls before the ball gets there, that has to be called.Andy, The TA Jr roughing in today’s game is going to be called. You can’t drive the guy down and land on him. The timing was fine, the landing on the QB was not. 15 years ago, it was fine. These days it’s not. Like it or not, ever so quick, McFadden did make contact helmet to face mask.
PI vs Fryfogle? Come on!! How bout Fry catch some balls when needed.
I know. I’m not happy but there were lots of reasons we lost today and many of them weren’t on Allen. National coach of the year and media darling last year and now we are dumping all over him. SmhYou guys are idiots. This knee jerk stuff after games is ridiculous.

No you don't...No mental toughness. This LEO crap has to go. I want assholes and thugs playing for IU.
We should see you leaving then as thugs don't win games. I want players capable of game winning plays and IU has some just not enough.No mental toughness. This LEO crap has to go. I want assholes and thugs playing for IU.
Entrepreneurial Pharmacology.Drug dealer? Nah man, he was in the “School of Independent Pharmacy”
The defense had several key penalties (targeting, roughing) that were not blatant poor discipline. The QB kept throwing to the other team, Baldwin fumbles on the goal line when IU is poised to go up…it’s hard to pin these on Tom IMO.
I don’t view him as a top coach, but he obviously 1) can recruit and 2) has pretty much fixed the worst defense in P5 football. Let’s give him some time to work things out. Last I checked, Urban Meyer is not waiting in the wings for the IU coaching job to be vacant.
Before Allen got here, we started every game 40 pts in the hole because everybody knew that was the minimum our defense was ever going to give up to any decent team.
To be clear, I’ve never been sold on CTA as a HC and am a bigger fan of him as a person than as a coach. I’m just trying to look for the positives. He does need talented staff and has done well to this point in finding and hiring talented staff and recruiting talented players. That alone covers many shortcomings.I like Allen a lot at everything except for game management and what appears to be relying too much on personal relationships. (Debored, Sheridan, the amount of playing time his son received) His game management is absolutely atrocious and we don't need to go anymore in depth than the ludicrous time management and clock situations that rear themselves like clockwork. I'm not watching at the moment, but looks like DeBoer is putting on a clinic tonight. Probably one of the most talented coaches to ever grace the IU sidelines. The dude wins everywhere. Bigly. Allen needs people like DeBoer on the sidelines and not Sheridan or he's going nowhere in the long-term. Rah rah and recruiting only gets you so far if the strategy and tactics is not power 5 level.
Wrong, IU has enough. The Cincy game was not a "could've won". It was a "should've won". IU blew that game.We should see you leaving then as thugs don't win games. I want players capable of game winning plays and IU has some just not enough.
Under Allen except for a few games last year the high level trend is to threaten upset and then implode. Yesterday was more of the same… Just sayin….Give me a frigging break. The refs didn't take this game away from us. We shot ourselves in the foot, time and again.

News flash every head coach needs a talented staff.To be clear, I’ve never been sold on CTA as a HC and am a bigger fan of him as a person than as a coach. I’m just trying to look for the positives.

He’s the anti CKW basically, and what we need is a combination of those two skill sets. That is difficult to find in one man.
I would say him more so than some others, particularly on the O side.News flash every head coach needs a talented staff.
I'm unfortunately starting to come around on this thought. He's a genuine guy and even a better person who truly cares about his players and that's why so many guys want to play for him, but at the end of the day I'm not so sure he's anything more than a very good defensive coordinator. I love his energy and passion on the sideline but it's something I expect to see out of a coordinator and not the head coach. His defenses at IU take on his personality; fiery and aggressive but I just wonder if CTA is too emotional of a head coach. I do think at times he's lost in the other two aspects of the game (Offense and Special teams) and his game management at times has been all over the place. At some point, all that passion and energy is going to wear off if he continues to get out-coached. Players and future recruits are going to eventually see right through it.To be clear, I’ve never been sold on CTA as a HC and am a bigger fan of him as a person than as a coach.
