Once you get to a certain level, the money is just a way of keeping score. Then you have to decide if that's the game you want to play.I'd say 50/50. If he has OMG-success over the next several years then someone may well make him an offer that he just can't turn down.

It seems to me your posts are often negative, glass half full, gloom and doom, sky is falling, lillyputin “it’ll never work”, we’re blockheads.
Resoectfully, I disagree with that mentality. It’s the past. It’s OVER.
I choose to believe Coach Tom Allen is Indiana’s version of Barry Alvarez, Hayden Frye/Kirk Ferentz, Randy Walker/Pat Fitzgerald.
I believe Indiana has embarked on a Tom Allen led 20 year run of tradition building, program changing EXCELLENCE with one of the best college football coaches in America.
Enjoy it!
Support it!
I believe Coach Allen and the Team welcome ALL supporters. I encourage you to provide POSITIVE energy and LEO toward the team and the entire Indiana University Football community.

I think he loves IU and will stay in his home state because he isn't driven by money.Let’s throw all the cards on the table. What are the chances, in your all’s opinion, that he will actually leave here for a better job at some point? Man, I really want to keep this guy around for 10 years or more.
I don't think he has any intentions of leaving any time soon & that's all that matters on this subject for the time being, IMO.Let’s throw all the cards on the table.

Will Memorial Stadium be full next year?
THAT will impact my answer to your question.
That's beckons a very interesting point: ordinarily, I'd agree 100%, & not that I don't agree now, but with the pandemic likely still impacting the season & attendance somewhat, we--the fanbase--might get a bit of a pass on this subject for another year. Otherwise, in a "normal" year(which we'll never have again, at least not what used to be normal)I'd say that we will have BETTER attendance in '21, I have no doubt, but how much better, I do have doubts. We(IU fanbase)will support a winner, the only time in my life we had one(Mallory era)attendance was considerably better. We need to absolutely PACK Memorial Stadium for this program though & do our part to completely transform the IUFB program, image, DNA, Brand, etc. etc. the way Wisconsin has, Oregon has.. It can happen. It would take 50 years to become a blueblood, but I honestly believe CTA can make this program a contender in the B1G East for a decade or more. How can anyone doubt that at this point? He's absolute GOLD for this Athletic Department, & MUST be rewarded & retained, at all cost(imo). Sorry so long, kinda' got on a roll &....couldn't stop.Will Memorial Stadium be full next year?

Dude, give it a rest.Unless we get some wacked out bow tie wearing liberal as the new president who has an agenda and fails to realize the role that athletics plays not only from a social standpoint but also as a major incentive for alums to contribute dollars to all facets of the university there's a high chance he will stay.
Agreed. Let's face it, IU hasn't been just historically bad in football. We've also owned the patent on novel and gut-wrenching ways to lose. We're the diehard fans here, but most people aren't willing to spend coin at an annual shit show. They will, though, support a team that wins. We got a glimpse of it during the "Play 13" season in 2007. I will never forget the Memorial Stadium atmosphere for the Bucket game that year.With that said, I think Memorial Stadium is going to be PACKED in 2021.

I would agree with you except the I 69 construction next year with having IN 37 completely shut down concerns me regarding people coming down from Indianapolis. Hopefully they can find good enough alternative routes that they make the trip but I’m concerned the newer fans that we pick up from the winning will not bother.Agreed.

Alums are champing at the bit for a winner. Once the pandemic has receded and the economy improves - - and assuming we keep winning - - attendance will take care of itself.
I don't think he'll bolt because of the B1G. If he consistently leads the teams to wins IU will take that role Michigan State has played the last 10 years and get more benefit of the doubt than they did this year.
I don't think he'll bolt because of money. He's rich. He's going to get richer. He COULD leave for greener pastures and get richer yet, but at some point it's just keeping score (as someone said). A man can only eat so much steak & lobster. IU will pay a good rate, he'll make plenty of money, and if he has a competitive B1G East team, that's about as much as a man can ask for.
I DO think there's a risk of him leaving if he doesn't get fan support. I can see a man getting really bitter if he's able to put out a consistent 8 game winner with the possibility of competing for championships on the semi-regular if they're only drawing 1/3 of a house with half of those leaving in the 3rd quarter. Pure speculation, but I can see him actually caring about the pageantry/feel of college football and leaving because of an unappreciative fan base. With that said, I think Memorial Stadium is going to be PACKED in 2021.
I don't know if it would be doable, but wouldn't it be sweet to see a convoy of dozens of buses from Indy roll into the Memorial Stadium lot and disgorge a few thousand people at once?I would agree with you except the I 69 construction next year with having IN 37 completely shut down concerns me regarding people coming down from Indianapolis.

Maybe he can fix the band. I'd like to see him in charge.
Instead of your typical hit and run comments, how about telling us what we need for success from future leadership? What have we not done that you would like to see? If you aren't trying to improve you're falling behind.Dude, give it a rest.

I agree with the premise, but I also remember the season opener against OSU a few years back was packed & rowdy. That was based purely on optimism.Regarding large crowds at games, there should be a nice bump in attendance next year, but I think it will take years of good football to actually sell out every game. Most of the programs who do that have large bases of fans who did not actually attend the school (see Notre Dame) but just grew up rooting for that team. For that to happen, you need to win a lot of games over a lot of years to stir up enough excitement for non-alumni to get interested in watching.
Your missing a Wildcat coach - Gary Barnett legitimatized Northwestern football before those two guys.fKfootball

John Ryan was president of IU when they won in 1987. Bill Mallory was hired I believe in 1980 or 1981. Mallory lobbied for improved facilities but they were minimal. He finally helped implement some including the North end zone along with Hep in later years.Back in the day, when we had bow-tie wearing Thomas Ehrlich, Isaw one of the greatest stretches of IU athletics in my time following the Hoosiers. A national championship in basketball. Some of the best IU football teams under Mallory from 1987 to 1994.
Have no idea about his political affiliation but it was a great time to be a Hoosier fan. I was in school during that stretch making daily treks to Ballantine Hall and watching the on campus preacher debate students on the sidewalk. That was fun. What was that guy’s name?
I was a Sr. in Chemistry in 1987 & would see that guy preaching outside the front-end of Ballantine hall. I'm not sure that what his name was.Back in the day, when we had bow-tie wearing Thomas Ehrlich, Isaw one of the greatest stretches of IU athletics in my time following the Hoosiers.
