Tom Allen fired by Indiana, enters open market as USC defensive coordinator candidate

The firings across college football kicked up rapidly on Sunday, just after the regular season came to a finish.

Indiana Hoosiers head coach Tom Allen was fired after another disappointing year even with his $20 million buyout, which was negotiated down to $15.5 million. Of course, the USC Trojans are in the market for a defensive coordinator after they finally moved on from Alex Grinch. It only makes sense that a name such as Allen would be a favorite in the search.

After Allen’s firing, it didn’t take long for USC fans to put out their feelings about Tom Allen potentially being the replacement for Grinch, and here’s how fans feel about it:

HAHAHA!

Tom Allen and Lincoln Riley at USC in 2024 is going to be electric. Allen learning how to surf in that leather jacket will be the content we need.

THIS IS TRUE!

One note on Tom Allen: Every elite program looking for a DC should run, not walk, to hire him. Looking at you USC. Program development issues aside, Allen can still draw up one heck of a blitz.

100 PERCENT

USC should interview Tom Allen for DC

HE’S GOOD AS A DEFENSIVE MIND

Someone is going to get a great analyst or coordinator if he wants to do that. I love watching Tom Allen’s defense every year. https://t.co/jjMJtjRu5o

USC FANS WILL BE HAPPY

CROSS OFF DAVE ARANDA, BUT ALLEN IS VERY MUCH IN PLAY

FACTS ONLY

If Lincoln Riley is smart, he gives Tom Allen a call. If Lincoln Riley wants to survive in the Big Ten, he gives Tom Allen a call.

WOULD BE GREAT

STILL TRUE:

Indiana deserved every bit of that.

Indiana needs a new head football coach next year.

(Tom Allen would also make a fine…
