yep. the first 3 and out, the usual suspects will emerge.Looks a lot like our O...(with a few more shots down field).
Fire the OC!!!
Just thought I'd help a few of our guys get warmed up...
He who throws to the tight end most......wins.These are some funny posts.
The 2nd leading receiver on the Fresno team was the Tight end with 55 catches. When was the last time we had a TE with 55 catches in a year? I'll take that all day. Everyone on this board screams for it.
Maybe it is not all just the style of offense but a little more in knowing which players to use, how to better develop them. Maybe it is a lot to do with the game plan for each opponent and then the adjustments made during the game. Maybe it is just that the players need to mature and get better and deeper. I prefer to keep my crimson glasses polished up and think he will kill it here until proven otherwise.Looks almost identical to a Debord offense......I don't know what to think. This dude will make or break the Tom Allen tenure, hope he's very good.
PS..I only watched the first five minutes, maybe it got better. This hire concerns me, don't really know why I feel that way.
CTA thinks he’s worth $300K more than MD. We’ll see.I like his success and improvement at each stop along the way. It is hard to watch this video and apply it to the B10.... it looked a little pass heavy at the beginning. Anyway, the fact Allen took his time makes me trust the decision to hire.... until proven otherwise.
Injuries happen...We need depth and thats what CTA is trying to build...Every team has injury issues but the ones who make it through have depth to replace the injured. The offense is stacked, the defense???CTA thinks he’s worth $300K more than MD. We’ll see.
What will help more than anything is if we can have one year where at least 2 out of 3 of our top skill guys don’t have season ending injuries. This year it was 2/3 of our top RBs (one kicked out), our top WR, and top QB. Last year it was top RB and top WR, two years ago it was our top WR, etc. etc.

We are awful thin at DT. We need 6 guys in groups of 2 to rotate IMO. I hate playing true fresh on the DL and OL unless someone is just light years ahead of the curve and I don't know if we have anyone who fits that mold. Maybe Beau Robbins if he adds 20. He is quick!The key, as always, will be the play of both the Offensive and Defensive lines. If we get to watch guys step up to a higher level of play on both sides of the line for us we'll be watching a special team, if not, we'll get to watch a few dynamic players attempt to carry the team...
I'm liking the fact that this hire has shut down the annoying posts claiming IU football won't open the checkbook for a good coach.yep. the first 3 and out, the usual suspects will emerge.
Me too. Shut them the hell up! They know who they are (insert evil grin)I'm liking the fact that this hire has shut down the annoying posts claiming IU football won't open the checkbook for a good coach.
Make no mistake, our defense will make or break Allen, not the offensive coordinator. There's pressure to win in power 5 for everyone, but Wommack has a lot more than DeBoer at this time. DeBoer does need to step things up also, but again, the D has let us down in crucial and very winnable games two years in a row. That has to improve!Looks almost identical to a Debord offense......I don't know what to think. This dude will make or break the Tom Allen tenure, hope he's very good.

Not sure I agree. There's no question that the defense has taken a step back since the Allen-engineered defensive resurgence in 2016 but I think the regression was more a function of roster developments (e.g. graduation, key injuries, depth issues) than anything else. As Hoosiers Rising mentioned, Allen is addressing this in recruiting. If we've got the talent in place, I have no doubt the defense will step up again. Defense is, after all, Allen's bailiwick. While he's named Wommack the DC, I'm sure Allen will continue to be closely involved with the defense.Make no mistake, our defense will make or break Allen, not the offensive coordinator.

Let it go.... fact is they haven’t... I don’t even know the deal he has when typing this but IU has MORE than demonstrated that historically, we have not been a spender. Correct me if I’m wrong.I'm liking the fact that this hire has shut down the annoying posts claiming IU football won't open the checkbook for a good coach.
You're wrong. Those posts have stopped, because anyone claiming today that IU won't commit to football and/or refuses to spend for a good football coach would look like a fool.Let it go.... fact is they haven’t...

Okay.... so until this one hire you are saying everyone who complained was right? And now that it appears they paid for someone and no one has said anything it proves something? I’d say it proves the complainers were reasonable in their critique. Good for IU.... we shall see when the contract comes out and we review the actual numbers being quoted. We should have great coaches and that is what everyone wants.....You're wrong.

I'm not talking historically. I'm talking about the current administration and what they're doing now.
Here's an excerpt from an article last week in the Star:
"DeBoer is expected to draw a salary at or near $800,000 per year. A raise of about $300,000 from what the position previously sat at. Per a USA Today database of assistant coaches' salaries, that $800,000 per year figure would have ranked DeBoer among the eight highest paid assistants in the Big Ten last season. Former IU coach Kevin Wilson, now offensive coordinator at Ohio State, reportedly makes the same amount."

I'll try this one last time. What I'm saying is that IU, in recent years, has demonstrated a commitment to football (with a corresponding expenditure of significant sums of money) like I hadn't before seen in my lifetime. The DeBoer hire is further evidence of that. I'd also note that IU matched Mike DeBord's Tennessee salary when Allen brought him to Bloomington a couple of years ago, and is now paying his successor $300,000 more. Wommack and Allen will be in line for hefty raises if they win. There's ample evidence that IU is flush with cash and is willing to allocate significant sums to the football program.Okay.... so until this one hire you are saying everyone who complained was right?

Furthermore, to demonstrate my point, Kevin Wilson’s 800,000 accounts for roughly 10% of the total compensation of the pool for assistant staff in OSU. The 800,000 for our guy accounts for close to 24% of the the total pay for our assistants. What does that say to you? We haven’t been paying coaches... which can also be translated to our “quality” of coaches haven’t been there.
Please don’t get me wrong. I am happy they opened up a check book to get someone. But until we see a steady diet of this I’m still looking at the Admin with a critical eye. It sure looks positive.
I have been critical in the past ..... I’m glad to see this. But we can’t say it’s fixed yet.
Of course not.... does Saban sign for 300,000? Why not? Because he is a high caliber coach. Quality guys don’t take jobs at 300,000.... or what ever the number is. The better the coach ...generally speaking... the better the coach and program he instills.So if we give everybody a $500,000 bump, that makes them great coaches?

What kind of HC do you get for $200,000? You know the answer...we had it. He was the highest paid coach on the team! What did we get? We competed with MAC teams for recruits and lost. We made a bowl game with another coaches players. I would say we didn’t have very many B10 players on that team.... we got what we paid for...
