The Indiana Hoosiers have been a powerhouse in college football for many years, and their coach Tom Allen has been a major part of that success. However, according to AP sources, Coach Allen will not be returning for his eighth season with the Hoosiers.
This news comes as a shock to many fans of the Hoosiers, as Coach Allen has been a key part of the team’s success over the past few years. He led the team to a Big Ten East Division title in 2018 and was named Big Ten Coach of the Year in 2020. He also led the team to three consecutive bowl appearances from 2018-2020.
The news of Coach Allen’s departure has left many wondering who will take his place as head coach of the Hoosiers. While no official announcement has been made yet, there are several names being floated around as potential replacements. These include former Ohio State offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson, former Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio, and former Penn State head coach Bill O’Brien.
It is unclear at this time why Coach Allen has decided to leave the Hoosiers, but it is clear that he will be missed by the team and its fans. He has been a great leader and mentor to the players and has helped to build a strong culture of success within the program.
While it is sad to see Coach Allen go, the Hoosiers will now have to look to the future and find a new leader who can continue to build upon the success that Coach Allen has brought to the program. It will be interesting to see who they choose and how they will fare in the upcoming season.
