At least we’re consistent

[IUNorth]

Unprepared.

Strange play calling that really looks like we’re attempting to kill our own momentum.

Blown defensive coverages.

We’ll play inspired LEO football in the second half and Allen will clap his way to a heart warming 30 point loss.

30 you are optimistic.

30 you are optimistic.

Probably.

But that’s what his teams do against good teams. Crap the bed, get down early. Compete and hold the margin.

Tom Allen is a lame duck coach and is just going to go through the motions the remainder of however long he is here. Just completely unprepared by this coach time and again.

I don’t think he’s going through, or will go through the motions.

I just don’t think he’s capable of being an effective HC without elite level coordinators.

And since IU isn’t willing to invest the money and resources in to an elite staff…you’re right, he’s a lame duck coach.

Really difficult to see the opportunity for any additional wins this season.

It is really hard to understand how a team can come out so unready to play. It's equally hard to understand why IU continues to attempt this option nonsense. It's almost as ridiculous as the Jaylin Lucas runs up the gut.

 

[IUNorth]

If Tayven could hit intermediate targets more consistently…Bells play calling would look a lot better.

He misses A LOT of well schemed, open, receivers on what should be easy throws. Like a lot.

Yes its money issue that les to the offensive coordinator we have.

Idiots always think throwing money at an issue will fix it

Huh?

We have Walt Bell in large part because Allen had to pay part of Sheridans buyout, and we went cheap on the Bell hire.

 

[ce36ei]

I just don’t understand how Allen hired absolute studs in Womack and Deboer and has hired nothing but duds since.

Still.... those short side option plays. Bell seems to think that's going to work.

 

[HoosierAlum07]

IU should go after a cheating scum coach like Urban Meyer or start bending the rules more(if there are any) to get top recruits! Better than hiring a fair weather coach that goes after 2-3star players that wouldn’t start in D2!

 

[Univee2]

Still.... those short side option plays. Bell seems to think that's going to work.

Pitching it on the option as the running back is just about to step out-of-bounds is always an effective play.

 

[IUNorth]

Still.... those short side option plays. Bell seems to think that's going to work.

Yeah, should probably scratch those. But he has been setting up solid, convert-able intermediate pass plays. The running does open those up. Tayven is just missing them…basically all of them.

Agreed, but need a QB who can run to make the option effective.

I don't disagree. One of my biggest concerns coming into the year was having the choice between two middling FBS Quarterbacks.

This is his fifth game of college football. We’re paying the price for not being able to bring in an experienced portal quarterback. It was a huge failure.

Yep. Not sure any of us fully understand how big of a deal that is/was.

Tom is an example of a very good man who is in way over his head. I would liken him to Mike Davis. These are very good men but are not able to coach effectively at this competitive level. At least they can't do it for longer periods.

Is Tom Allen a very good man? Maybe. No one seems to want to work with him for very long, except for Hiller. Talented players leave. He gives off Disappointed Dad energy at every press conference and hasn’t shown any sort of self reflection or ownership of mistakes.

Mike Davis got us to within a Tom Coverdale sprained ankle of a sixth banner and he was a really sincere person. I take Mike Davis over Tom Allen 10/10 times.

Yep. The Hoosiers briefly had a lead against Maryland in that Monday night game in the second half. It certainly wasn't happening today.

We tried, as I said here many times. We just didn’t get it done.

As I recall they didn't even try to go that route.

 

[VictoryRider04]

Well, at least Nebraska got beat worse. Jackson missing an easy TD throw that a MAC QB could make sums it up to me

 

[4IUSox2]

I wasn’t surprised last winter at all that no decent, nor experienced portal qb wanted to take a flyer on the CTA/Bell ship. Last year’s offensive highlight tape was downright, well, OFFENSIVE!!!

Time to give Sorsby a try? Maybe so. At the very least, I’m sure he can sail passes over guys heads at a less alarming rate…shades of LoVecchio his first year playing at IU in ‘03.

Yep. We've known this for two seasons now atleast. Others are slowly coming around as well.

Jeffries sprained ankle as well.

Isn't this the equivalent of saying I prefer a firing squad to hanging?

Nobody is saying he isn’t an upstanding guy. He’s just a terrible football coach. You know it when you see it.
We talk about the offense and the play-calling.

The defense is absolutely a trainwreck. This may be one of the worst defenses I’ve seen here since Lynch. The DL is outright pathetic. Zero pass rush and slow as hell. And the secondary? Good grief. DBs not within 20 yards of WRs. Are any of these guys really P5 material? Not seeing it at all.

That’s it. It’s bye week. We’ll probably find a way to lose it as well.

Fire Allen🔥🔥🔥

I hope they do give Sorsby a try but the Michigan will be a tough job. Making the change in a bye week is a good time to do it.

They tried . . . They just weren’t successful.

Allen gone

They didn’t, that was clear. Looks like it may have been an error.

Sorsby doesn't suffer that affliction nearly so bad.

I've never read anything substantiating the fact.

 

[82hoosier]

Yep. Not sure any of us fully understand how big of a deal that is/was.

Yeah, who would have seen this coming after all of the quarterbacks and running backs fled the program last year or the year before.

It must have been Tom Allen saying that he did not want to bring in an experienced transfer while keeping a straight face .

 

[Jackskip23]

I've never read anything substantiating the fact.

Because it’s not really factual.

 

[sparkeyreturns]

Huh?

Uhm no. That is 100 percent not correct. Walt Bell, when he was hired, was the 7th highest paid oc in the big ten.

So again... dumb.
