It wasn't a million. It was just shy of 800k.
Why would the administration be furious that Allen know needs to fire Sheridan? Everything coming out is he did it so he has more money to throw at a new OC.
Your making things up.
Allen SHOULD NOT have to subsidize Sheridan's firing!!!

I thought the DL held up pretty well. It was one of the last units on the team to quit.
Because the buyout increased substantially?
If I come to you 6 months ago to ask for a raise for my employee and now 6 months later I'm telling you I need to fire said employee, how does that look?
The money Allen is kicking is is going toward the buyout from my understanding and doesn't even cover all of it.
He didn't have a buyout. They paid his remaining contract. He got extended last year.
You don't even know the facts.
Other than the punter, who was a disaster, the STs were as good a unit as there was on the team, other than the LBs.
EDIT: The kick-off guy was weak as well, but he was last year and at Rutgers. That also appears to have been on CTA.
Actually it's you who doesn't know the facts. It says quite clearly that he is owed a buyout of 950k. If you are claiming the 950k isn't a buyout you are splitting hairs. The money Allen's kicking in does not fully cover that.
IU football fires offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan; Tom Allen's pay cut after sad 2021
Nick Sheridan was fired as Indiana football's offensive coordinator Sunday after the Hoosiers finished last in scoring in Big Ten play.

Yikes I am looking at some conflicting information. I understood his contract to be expiring after this season, but that may be incorrect.
I think the defense was worse than your offense. Just look at the Rutgers game, Western Ky., OSU, where do I stop.
I feel like the initial press release about chipping in the 200k was terribly misleading. I don't think anyone was aware of what Sheridan had been awarded this year. I don't know what it says about society that people who are this bad at their job are paid many multiples of the average salary.
Honest question: Why stay here and debate this. You guys kicked our ass and have a bowl game to talk about. I don't go post on GBI win or lose.
What? Remind you in Cinci game we lined up over center causing a 4th & 6 to be 4th & 1, they went for it, and then later scored, so their punt turned into a score. Then after we went up we allowed a kick off return, taking away all the momentum we had.
We literally do not return kickoffs anymore. And became same for punts by mid-season.
The top note on S/T is our amazing snapper. Our FG kicker is damn good (though surprisingly missed before half ball Purdue). The new punter needs strong competition as he struggled.
But no way was S/T great this year.
Agree. I thought it was a good move on Allen's part.
You are arguing semantics. Also, in most coaching jobs, if you have a multi-year contract you very seldom get paid the whole value of that contract if fired. So actually, it is even worse than a buy-out because we are paying full value.

Dude, as Palmbeachhoosier was for our offense you are for the defense. Are you guys related in some way? Are you his alt account?
So, back to the conversation.... which was worse, offense or defense?
How many points did the defense give and how many points were due to offense mistakes? You also have look at the first 5 games before so many things started going wrong. I am not sold on Warren yet but not looking at what happen isn't the way to evaluate the defense.
LOL. I suspected you were either an idiot or a troll or both. Thanks for confirming.
Oh offense without a doubt but they were still terrible.
That was the whole point of the conversation if you would have read the whole thread.
The offense was terrible the whole seasons with just a couple of exceptions while the defense was pretty good for the first half of the season until injuries really hit.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was Allen's idea, since he probably had to justify his choice of a novice OC in the first place.
I can definitely see him doing that. And, personally, I think it's a great idea. It should be more, imo, to up the kitty for a really good OC.
I guess what concerns me is the optics of it and the potential precedent it could set. Will Allen have to cough up money every time he needs to make a move on an underperforming staff member?
I wonder how common this really is? I've not heard of this happening too much.
He still could get a damn nice double-wide on that salary, eh?
Well, we did have a few Pic 6s that added to our opponents totals. It wasn't all on the Defense.
Honestly, I don't think anyone outside of IU fans really hear about it or care about it.
I rather suspect IU and Allen will be admired for it.
I admit that, on the face of it, it may look bad, but if there is any objective evaluation, it's pretty reasonable.
I do understand your position, though. Nothing IU does is ever really in line with big-boy football. I would have paid Deboer so much money he couldn't have afforded to leave, but that's just me.
