After two years of having to double dip as both head coach and defensive coordinator, Allen knew the two positions were too much for one person to handle. His focus shifted to a potential replacement. And when Tom Allen was considering who he wanted to take over his role as defensive coordinator, he ultimately landed on the familiar Kane Wommack.

He was a guy Allen knew he could rely on to continue the pursuit of making Indiana’s defense elite.

Indiana head coach Tom Allen knows what he wants in his next offensive coordinator. “I want a guy that has called plays at this level", Allen said at a press conference Thursday evening, “not necessarily in this conference per se, but that would be the ideal.

While the 2019 recruiting class has been shaping up to be very impressive, the IU staff was in pursuit of a key piece: a quarterback they believed could make a difference. Several graduate transfers were mentioned on message boards and the Hoosiers offered a few high school seniors. However, a name from the not-too-distant past came out of nowhere and IU has officially announced they have added former four-star signal-caller Jack Tuttle. Tuttle was offered by Indiana during his high school career as he has family connections to Indiana University.
