IU Athletics Announces Details of Change in Football Leadership

IU Athletics Release

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana University Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Scott Dolson announced on Sunday afternoon that head football coach Tom Allen will not return next season. A national search for Allen’s successor will begin immediately.
 
“After continued evaluation of our entire football program, I have determined that we have lost momentum and that a change in leadership is necessary at this time. I want to thank Tom for all of the contributions he has made to IU in his seven years leading our program. His passion, character, and class made a positive impact on our student-athletes. We wish him well in his future endeavors.”
 
The university and Allen have agreed on a financial settlement of two $7.75 million installments that will be paid through the department of athletics donor funds.
