Our old DC Mallory - well respected, but horrible statistics even before IU.
New Safeties coach

Don't forget, he was DC at LSU - loaded with talent - and got fired in the middle of the season. The only respect he had was due to being a Mallory. I trust coach Cutcliffe's evaluation of coach Guerreri.
Yes, Cutcliffe has the interesting reputation of doing more with less.
From his resume, Coach Guerreri is a positive, hyperactive personality who will stir things up defensively.
Wasn't he DC at New Mexico or New Mexico State when we hired him?
MIKE Ekeler left after one year, didn't he?
EDIT: Yep, 2011-2012

So Mallory was DC for every year except the one. I don't think that qualifies as "Co" DC.
You said it didn’t qualify as them being co-DCs, which was incorrect.
Everyone got the point.
It is pretty clear why he left Tulsa for IU. Iu is in the BIG and Tulsa is not. Plus I am pretty sure it is a bump in pay.
It is, and I promise KW understands and supports it.
He was named the DC for Tulsa on Jan 6th, and he leaves them for us, to be the safeties and co-dc here. People predicting he had a falling out with Wilson? I mean, anything is possible, but that just doesn't make sense. Wilson was impressed with him at OSU enough to hire him. And he took the job already knowing how Wilson is, coaching with him. But a month after that, they have a falling out? Yes, perhaps he acts a little differently being a HC but can't be that different. I'm interested seeing what Tulsa says about it all.
Hard to decline a position coach and co-DC title at a BT school, even though the latter is really a title only thing. Wilson knows how the coaching game works, since he’s been a part of it for three decades.
I'm guessing position coach and being a fake dc is better at P5 school than DC at tulsa?
Or maybe Wilson broke into his office and drank all of his booze.
Tulsa seems to think that CKW has a rolodex full of numbers for coaches, and that they're at his beck and call.
I was dead wrong on that guess...
Glad I was... I like the move back to the 2019 approach and I love the idea that Big Ten offenses will have to deal with a guy they don't yet have a tendency book on...
Our D took a step back last Fall, hopefully this Fall it'll take 3 steps forward...
I’m just glad he handed it.
I am glad coach Allen is handing off the defensive calling but he is taking a risk giving it to coach G based on the relationship he has had with him. I hope it doesn't lead to IU losing coach Wilt but it would surprise me if he leaves do to this decision.
In listening to the Press Conference today....MG handled the question about Wilt better than CTA...CTA is now walking the tight rope when it comes to this type of stuff.
From listening to the press conference it seems MG understands Allen's defense more and has called plays before . Probably why he gets to call plays over Wilt.
It’s been an ongoing internal frustration and part of the reason why attrition is so high.
Guys quickly leaving for other jobs is not uncommon. Having co-coordinators is extremely common and has been for years. If Wilt is unhappy he can leave. This is big boy football.
Sometimes I feel like IU fans live in a tiny little bubble.
And I’m sure ordfan will go after me for this because I’m assuming he’s still around. God bless IGNORE.

Coach Allen just said that is what he is doing - only HC and working with
coach G.
