Pretty much as expected.

IMO if he goes 5-7 he needs at least one of them to be a substantial upset if he wants to keep recruiting momentum going.The only way Allen is even close to the hot seat is another 2-10 or worse,
and maybe not even then if we are crippled by injuries or something.
That being said, he still needs at least a relative bounce-back, at least 5-7 or so, to be able to reasonably pitch any sort of security or positive spin on things to recruits going forward and keep the fanbase quiet.
Agree, and I have posted this several times. After two very good years and the most recent disaster, this is a bellwether moment for his tenure. Kudos for holding the recruiting success post 2021, but he needs to make it pay.This is Allen’s most important season yet, IMO.
That may be a good point. 2020 great, 2021, awful. Which is CTA?This is Allen’s most important season yet, IMO.
Gotta include 2019 too.That may be a good point. 2020 great, 2021, awful. Which is CTA?
Which is probably what he is. IU is never going to be a “reload” kind of place. I think just like Fitzgerald does at NW, he could be the kind of coach who builds a experienced team that can win every 2-3 years. In the off years maybe have a record between 7-5 to 5-7. Unlike NW though, we don’t have the luxury of playing in the west.Gotta include 2019 too.
Agree. Based on talent, experience and turnover, this looks like a 2 to 5 win team. If we get 4 or 5 victories and play competitively throughout the season, that’s positive movement.Because of the Hoosiers difficult schedule I think one would have to dig deeper than just the won- loss record. If the Hoosiers have a terrible record this season but they play competitively against good teams then that will count for a lot.
Bellwether season. Must show progress and really needs to make a bowl.Just like every year IU has a tough schedule. Just like every year IU plays three OOC games, RU, Maryland and PU. That gives a very strong potential for 6 wins minimum each and every year.
Not making a bowl in at least 3 of 4 seasons is unacceptable in my mind. We simply have to make this happen.
