My teams situation. No one here cares. The bigger post is things don’t happen in a vacuum, and IUgradman is an arrogant, left leaning idiot who has never signed the front of a paycheck, only the back, but he’s sure he could coach better. Ha ha.
GTFOH! He put the uniform on. He lost his job. He came in and almost got us to a few scores. You all expected Dexter to do something but he got hurt. WTF you expect.
I expect a QB to hit a wide open Wr or Rb out of the back. He has over thrown everything in the last 10 mins. He sucks
Ballsack has never had the makings of a varsity athlete
another crappy year in the books with another crappy one on the horIzon. I guess we can only be good every 40 years.
Damn. That season was great. Two good wins. Pretty good for IU. A contract extension is in order so we can recruit LEO and suck another 5 years.
Another season of underwhelming IU football and, unfortunately, because of the buyout little to no hope for next year as well. Dexter's injury looked serious, if it's another knee that means he really won't be ready for next season so IU would start with no QB. Bazelak showed all of his limitations in the second half and never came close to a consistent accurate passer.
Then there's Allen. I wonder if he knows how ridiculous he looks on the sideline. I suspect not. Any coach relying to the degree Allen relies on emotion is bound to ultimately lose effectiveness because players tune it out or begin laughing at it. Something is really off. Too many mistakes, too much acceptance of a lower level of play. A good coach only needs to use emotion before a game and at halftime (most times not even then). A coach sets high expectations and players know what a good performance is and what isn't. They don't need an in game, sideline cheerleader. Allen's in game decision making is mind numbingly bad too often. After six years as an HC it should be much, much better.
There won't be another turnover in assistants unless some of them leave on their own for greener pastures, because Allen's ability to get high quality assistants willing to take a chance on this program would be limited.
His defense looked ok in the first half, had moments in the second, but for the season was simply inadequate to the challenge of trying to keep things close with an horrendous offense.
Very few players develop and get better over the course of their careers at IU.
The O linemen look fat and out of shape compared to the Michigan linemen with one of the best running games in the country. While they looked improved in run blocking by the end of the season, they were not even mediocre pass blocking.
The number of injuries raises questions regarding strength and conditioning. The program has moved backward in that regard. Strength and speed looked competitive in 2019 and still in 2020, far less so now, despite good recruiting classes.
One has to ask if Bell has the common sense to coach an O at this level. Good, smart coaches adjust to fit their team's talents. Early in the season it was obvious that the OL performance made his scheme inoperable with an inaccurate not very mobile statue at QB. When he finally decided to change QBs, he first went to Tuttle who was injury prone and also a statue, then Sorsby who looked worse than Gremel last year and finally, finally Williams who added a dimension that made IU a little competitive. Had he been the starter from day one in fall camp with the scheme used in the last game and through the first half, IU might have had something. With the statue back in for the second half today, IU's O couldn't make the big plays it needed to when it needed them.
