This is what's just wild to me.
Tom Allen had seven seasons in Bloomington with a high win total of eight. He won nine in his last three seasons combined. He then took a job as the defensive coordinator in Penn State and currently works for Clemson, both big programs. It's not like the guy was a loser or perceived as a loser even after his Indiana struggles. And that's because most would say no one could turn it around at Indiana.
CIg is a winner. Sure. I can get behind that statement. But his resume indicates that he was a position coach at Alabama. He has had more instant FBS success that Sark (5-7 in his first year at Washington) or Kirby (8-5 in his first year at Georgia) or Lane (lots of low lights until Ole Miss). And those are more high-profile guys who were coordinators under Nick.
Prior to Indiana, he was the HC of IUP, Elon, and James Madison. And now, in his first two years, he may take the Hoosiers to 20-plus wins, a conference crown and two trips to the college football playoff.
He brought coaches with him from James Madison (many coaches do this). He found players through the portal (who doesn't).
No one could have ever seen that coming. if it happens, it's college football history right before our eyes.
Just WILD.
And he might not leave for a while. Indiana won the freaking lottery in terms of instant football success.
