After a 2-10 season ended Saturday night with a 44-7 loss to Purdue in the Old Oaken Bucket Game Indiana head coach Tom Allen has made a change at the offensive coordinator position. It was announced by IU this morning in the following release:

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana head football coach Tom Allen announced on Sunday morning that Nick Sheridan will no longer serve as the program’s offensive coordinator.

“I want to thank Nick for his work and commitment to our football program,” Allen said. “He is a good football coach and a man of tremendous character, but we are in the need of a reset on the offensive side of the ball. We will begin our search for Nick’s replacement immediately.”

In order to make this change, Allen restructured his current contract. His annual salary will decrease $200,000 each year from 2022-25. Allen’s contract will still run through the 2027 season.

“We did not meet the standard that I expect from our football program, and that starts with me,” Allen said. “This season was not acceptable and we will work to address it.”

The Hoosiers finished 13th in the Big Ten is scoring offense in all games this season at 17.3 points per game and last in scoring against conference opponents at 10.4 points per game. Sheridan was made offensive coordinator after the 2019 season and was brought to IU prior to the 2017 season.
