  • JACK'S TAKE: Indiana coach Tom Allen wasted no time when making changes during Indiana's bye week. On Sunday, he fired offensive coordinator Walt Bell and promoted Rod Carey. The move makes sense, but it may not help Indiana improve enough to have a successful season. CLICK HERE
  • WALT BELL FIRED: Coach Tom Allen and the Indiana football team have fired offensive coordinator Walt Bell following the Hoosiers' 44-17 loss against Maryland on Saturday. Offensive coordinator responsibilities for the remainder of the 2023 season will be assumed by Rod Carey, who was previously the quality control coach for Allen and Indiana. CLICK HERE
  • DANIEL OLINGER'S COLUMN: Indiana lost to Maryland 44-17 on Saturday in the most discouraging performance of the 2023 season. Coach Tom Allen blamed execution yet again after the game, an excuse that rings hollow this deep into the season. CLICK HERE
