IU Football Coaching Record Book is a Blank Canvas

Maybe our poor history worked in our favor for CCC. We are the ultimate football challenge.

If he could coach here 8-10 years with a winning record, we would be talking statues & field naming.

He would retire at the top of the all-time IU coaches list.

It would be Cubs WS type stuff..

The last IU coach to finish with a .500 record or better is Bo Mcmillin who started coaching at IU in 1934.

My sophomore year at IU was CBM's 0-fer year.. We played tough in a couple games. That really set his coach's record back. At least with the portable, it is much easier to jump-start a roster.
