Once the shocking news broke that Kevin Wilson and Indiana University would be parting ways, there was a lot of speculation as to the reasons why. But one thing there was not speculation about was who would be the head coach next season. After all, there was still so much to digest yesterday about how Wilson and the Hoosiers could possibly go their separate ways, still a bowl game to play, still an entire offseason to jump on the coaching carousel and find the next guy.
But just a couple minutes into the press conference at the Henke Hall of Champions last night, Indiana Vice President and Director of Athletics Fred Glass announced that Tom Allen had agreed to become the next permanent head coach of Indiana football.
