This is why IU football is the laughing stock of the B12.

I agree. It's not just that we lost a 25 point lead. It's that we lost the lead to a terrible football team. Quite revealing.
Maryland fired Randy Edsell last week, why can't Wilson be gone tomorrow?...because Maryland expects more out of their football program...
Why does that prove anything? They won't have a new coach until after the season, the fans won't show up in greater numbers, and the kids who play won't benefit in any way from it. It might make a few fans feel better, but that's not the priority. Get to the end of the season and evaluate him, then make the decision.
Evaluate him? I think we have enough of a sample size at this point to come to a conclusion.
So you're going to fire a guy with a winning record just over half way through the season because they blew a big lead and lost at home? What good does it do now, other than to make you feel better?
Actually, I wanted him fired after last season.
At that point, I think we knew he couldn't build a defense capable of competing in a power conference.
This team won't win again this season. From 4-0 to 4-8. That's IUFB.
Come on, you're making yourself look bad...you've seen KW for several years now, and tell me where we're going to pick up another win other than Purdue?... the time to make a change is now...
Maybe not, but that's far more likely if you fire Wilson now than in 6 or 7 weeks.
Firing him now makes it much more likely that the season falls apart. The only winners are armchair quarterbacks, and they're the last people to know what should be done. Let him finish the year and then they can decide what to do.
Or the players and fans rally around the interim coach whom will likely be better than Wilson anyway....you sound just like a Crean supporter who fears change because it means starting over...believe me its for the best, and the sooner the better...
It wouldn't be for the best sooner, and the interim coach would be on the current staff, meaning they have a big hand in what's going on. Makes no sense to fire him now. It's just an emotional reaction that cooler heads wouldn't consider.
Play some defense for once and then you'll be back to the laughing stock off the big ten instead off the big 12. Our defense sucked too. Looked like a b12 game out there. Terrible on both sides.
I don't fear it. I just believe in making it when it benefits you the most and when your emotions aren't the primary driver of your decision making. Those things get you a far better result in the long run.
I would suggest you go back to your board and read all the posts like "Are you really happy about beating Indiana?", "It's Indiana" and talk about who you know you'll be able to beat the next few years. If IU sucks so bad, can put up 52 points on you and you need a last second field goal to win, then RU sucks almost as much. There is no denying that.
Is Greg Schiano available?
He turned around Rutgers in 5 seasons and he makes Kevin Wilson look like a Pop Warner coach. Maybe he's ready for another rebuild?

He should be available after this season I think. He's getting paid $3mill to sit at home by Tampa Bay and I think that ends in 2016 (5yr contract). I want him to come back to Rutgers though. He's a better coach than Kyle Flood.

Being real is that Rutgers was and is nobody in the college football picture. I don't know anyone outside of the state of New Jersey who shivers at the thought of playing them. Even we (and that says a lot) penciled them in as a "W" for us this year.
That said, we do have them slotted kinda like a mid-major still, and that just isn't the case. The bowls may not be whoppers, but they've shown they can at least get to them. Hell, 8-5 in their first B10 season? We haven't been there since the early 90's.
What good does it do to fire the coach during the middle of the season because you will just promote an assistant and be running the same offense and defense.
