Tom Allen won’t return for eighth season as Indiana Hoosiers coach, AP sources say

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:51:30 GMT

Tom Allen spent four seasons steadily taking Indiana up the Big Ten ladder.Then everything came crashing down in college football’s rapidly evolving world.Three consecutive losing seasons and a three-year conference record of 3-24 cost Allen his dream job, two people familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Sunday. The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the school did not announce the firing.“I understand you have to win. I want to win as bad as anybody,” he said Saturday after a 35-31 loss at rival Purdue. “It’s out of my hands.”Allen had four years left on a contract he received in 2021 and is owed $20.8 million.
