When it’s year 6, I don’t think the argument “If you fire Allen who would ever come” as if he hasn’t been given the time to build a program.
This looks like Regression now! And Allen is starting to look like way over his head, and NOT a great judge of coaching talent when hiring.
I think IU should look at any type of negotiated settlement:
-Spread it out over 20 years, 25 if have to
-Every dollar of a new job salary comes off what he would be owed that year
I would sadly hire a new Person with 100% HC experience, and let that person bring in an existing or hire his own staff. I think that person could pick all coaches.
I fee badly for what I think are some actually good players who have not been well coached enough to fully compete and hit their personal and team potential.
I do think Coach Allen can be a DC again, but that is likely his ceiling. Pains me to say as I do like him personally. But I still believe IU can win in FB in the B10, but it requires excellence and high competence (and an ability to recruit well for both players and coaches.). Coach Allen has not shown the ability to do so in my view. I hate to have reached this point, but it is what I now conclude.
