Indiana fires Tom Allen
- Thread starter Morrischiano2
- Start date
Didn’t think they would swallow the 20M. The extension off short term results proves costly.
Would have been cheaper to identify & pay for the next Penix
Oh boy. There goes another winnable game.
Or if we win, it’s against a new coach so it doesn’t count.
At Rutgers that 15.5 mill would be on the 30 year plan if RU boosters were footing the bill.
Could be boosters stepping up and Allen settling for 4.3 Mil less .
How much would IU owe Tom Allen if it fired him?
A year-by-year breakdown of IU’s duty in the case of firing without cause:Dec. 1, 2023: $20.8 million.
Dec. 1, 2024: $7.95 million.
Dec. 1, 2025: $5.4 million.
Dec. 1, 2026: $2.75 million.
I don’t think the actual day mattered even though they report that.
Also the buyout was negotiated down to 15.5M in two payments.
Just seems like there is a group of “fans” trying to qualify everything GS touches. I’ve heard it all before. Just trying to save everyone some time.
Jon Gruden rumors even now for IU lol. Thats even crazier than the Gruden Tenn ones from years ago.
I believe Paul Chryst did that too when Wisconsin let him go as well. I'm not sure other than you might get more money up front in the lump sum payments and maybe no offsets for future employment.
Is that much going to change in the future? Inflation going down lol.
5M extra over 3-4 years? In Chryst's case it might have even been more. Is it going be that much of differential, suppose it depends on what rate of return you can get.
It's kind of like the lump sum of a lottery jackpot vs the annuitized payout. In that case 20+ years and rate of returns I get it, for this kind of thing I'm not as certain.
I think maybe no offsets and need to find future employment should you not want it might be part of it provided the lump sum payouts are high enough and quick enough. It's also clean cut and you're over and done with.
Might be lump sum right away instead of regular payments until the time the contract was due to expire and what he earns , until paid in full, being deducted from what he was owed.
Cignetti fired at Pitt.
Another OC walks the plank

My new favorite is any team we beat is in cHaOs or dIsaRrAy so it doesn't count
I just learned today VT was in dIsArRaY so beating them was in fact not a good win at all
GS is a good teacher because they all figured it out after they played us.
Interesting that you never hear Paul Chryst's name associated with a job opening post his Wisconsin firing. His overall record was pretty good.
Gruden would be a massive hire for them.
IU boosters come up with $15MM for a buyout. We simply don't have that type of juice to make those moves.

I posted that above and imo is crazier than the Tenn rumors from years back.
Seeing the Gruden Indiana rumor reminds me of years and years ago when Rutgers was looking for a HC some posters on RU FB boards said Bill Parcells should be hired.
Gruden’s dad was a Corso assistant in the 70’s. He’s talked fondly of his childhood in B-ton being a ball boy for football and basketball. That’s about it for the connections though. I do NOT think this will happen and I don’t know that I want it to happen.
More logical choices, at least for me are: Fitz, Tom Herman, Chryst, Candle from Toledo. Wildcards would be Dan Mullen or Dave Clawson, just not sure if looking.
Word is, it won’t be a first time HC (ala Allen, Wilson, Cam Cameron). If accurate, that would eliminate guys like IU alum Justin Frye, or Brian Hartline, both at OSU; or Mike Hart at UM, a former RB’s coach at IU.

Delbarton Kindergarten ain't gonna pay for itself. Those poors in the endzone seats need to pony up!
Could have paid the QB 5 million for 4 years of service and 10.5 million to the offensive line and receivers.
