BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- There have been some strange hiring/firing news conferences over the years, but Indiana might have set a new bar Thursday.
Hoosiers athletic director Fred Glass announced the stunning departure of Kevin Wilson while simultaneously promoting defensive coordinator Tom Allen to permanent head coach. Allen sat next to Glass in front of the media, trying to talk about his appreciation for the job and his plans for the future while reporters waited to pepper Glass with questions on what Wilson did wrong.
