Absolutely no more Michigan coordinators. Been there, done that!
Heard he is a strong candidate. Very strong.
5 bowl game wins is, if I recall correctly, 2 more than IU has accomplished over 100+ years

He did a great job at TCU. You saw their fall off as soon as he left. Clemson's offense this year didn't knock anyone's socks off, but he has only been on staff for about 10 months, so? If he came back next year with Clemson and their offense took off, he would likely become a top coaching candidate. That begs the question, is he worth the gamble or is IU going after a more proven commodity?

I’m fully convinced though.
Is Tom Herman the next Indiana Head Coach? An Investigation
There are two interesting flights into Bloomington tomorrow and one from today.- A private flight is arriving at Bloomington at noon from Dallas with an unknown plane but appears to be a Bombardier Challenger 300. Everyone knows IU’s biggest booster is Mark Cuban who is likely to foot a large part of Tom Allen’s buyout and probably wants to meet the potential new hire. Cuban owns several private jets. He did arrive to the Ozarks in June aboard a Bombardier jet.
- A private flight is arriving from Boca Raton around 2 hours later. It appears IU wants to hire a proven head coach with experience succeeding at a high level. Tom Herman clearly fits that bill and is the head coach at FAU with a buyout of 2.5 million, again likely coming from Mark Cuban.
- There was a flight from Boca Raton to Bloomington tonight that appears to have been diverted to Hickory, North Carolina at some point likely due to some rain over the Appalachians.
- And they negotiated Tom Allen’s buyout down to 15 million dollars. With a 2.5 million buyout for Tom Herman that's still under the expected payout of 20 million dollars at 17.5 million. Indiana is still under what they expected and get a successful coach.
I’m fully convinced though.
The same kind of path that Ole Miss Lane Kiffin took. Big time programs prior (USC and Tennessee), recovery at FAU and landed at Ole Miss. Herman - Houston (big success), Texas (never less than 7 wins but not enough for UT alums), recovery at FAU. Indiana next?
Rabbie knows more about Grubhub than he does about Gruden.
Rabjohns doesn’t even follow football and his inside info for basketball is trash.

Hagan has bailed on IU so many times (2x for Purdue) that I don’t know if I want him back.
Always been a Clawson fan. I could live with that. Wake Forest has terrible resources and what he did there in the ACC is admirable.
5-2 in bowls. He’s having a down year but his record dwarfs Allen’s record.
Discounting the prop plane. This would be much easier if we knew the tail numbers of the university planes.
Pretty sure they use Cook planes nowadays.
They are simply regurgitating info from message boards and social media. That’s not even a short list.
Just ridiculous.
I'm not assuming anything. There's no guarantee any coach is going to be successful wherever they go next. But you look at their body of work and you play the percentages. And if a school like IU has a chance at a relatively young (48) coach who has enjoyed success leading a power conference program, they should jump at the chance.
By the way, Texas isn't the only school where Herman has done well. He had great success at Houston, at the time an AAC (Group of Five) school. His predecessor at Houston went 21-17 before being terminated. Herman then went 22-4 including a Peach Bowl win and a #8 national ranking.
You're not thinking clearly. Or maybe you're just uninformed.
No flipping way. Napoleon Dynamite was great and didn’t have a single profane word. IU can do the same.
Never said he wouldn't be a good hire. Probably would be. But it would be nothing like the basketball program hiring Billy Donovan. Not even close.
Hagans name always comes up. Surprised it took this long. Now just waiting for someone to throw Matt Canada in there.
Just brought that up in the Herman talk as a potential DC...jokingly kinda...given Herman hired him away from us previously. 😄

So does any of this mean that Tom Herman will be the head coach at Indiana? Probably not. Is it fun to speculate wildly? Absolutely.

No but I am not the only one that thought that the money came from Cuban.
How many billionaires do you think that are IU grads and interested in sports?
