Indiana University fired its Head Football Coach, Tom Allen on Sunday.
After making it to bowl games in 2019 and 2020, IU football has gone 9-27 in the last three seasons, including 3-23 in Big Ten play.
Allen’s overall record at Indiana was 33-49, including 0-3 in bowl games. After Kevin Wilson resigned, Allen made his head coaching debut in the 2016 Foster Farms Bowl.
The Hoosiers lost that game to Utah 26-24. On Sunday, Indiana fell to Purdue 35-31. It’s the third time in the series that Purdue has beaten Indiana.
Allen’s crowning achievement at Indiana was the 2020 season, which COVID shortened. That year, IU finished 6-2 and eventually lost to Ole Miss in The Outback Bowl 26-20.
Allen was named the Big Ten Coach of the Year that season and the AFCA Coach of the Year.
Allen had previously signed a 7-year contract in 2019 that listed a buyout of $20 million.
