I guess you consider New Castle, Indiana part of the south.
Tom Allen gone??
- Thread starter Bkmtnittany1
- Start date
No--but there aren't any mountains there either. And IU's in Bloomington. New Castle is on I-70 on the way to Indianapolis.
Then you deal with the wind. When I was in graduate school at UIUC, I got blown constantly in the winter. Unreal.
Getting blown in winter, spring, summer or fall… sign me up!!
Not really true anymore with 12 team playoff. Also you have the current trajectories of the teams backwards I think.
Penn State removes Tom and Thomas Allen from staff directory as they prep for move to Clemson
Penn State football has officially removed defensive coordinator Tom Allen and his son, analyst Thomas, from its staff directory.
We suck.
didn't narrow it down muchSomebody better from this board, obviously.

If it hasn't been mentioned yet, the other day i read a brief insertion in one of the Allen articles.
His daughters are located in the Carolinas, his wife was a little ticked that Allen grabed the job at PSU so soon after being fired, without looking further south.

Certainly not defending his schemes, but I believe the long pass over King on the opening drive of the 2nd half was to the running back split out wide, not a wide receiver.
Blue-White Illustrated Coach Advisory Committee or is it Council?
That's a good guess. I always thought one of the "C's" stood for couch.
Bob,His wife wanted him to look further south?
Most wives are like that.........

That's correct Bob,His wife wanted him to look further south?
Southerly direction past the Umbilicus into the mysterious vulva location.
Yes, the old axiom about fighting to get out at birth and fighting to get back in the rest of our lives.....what they don't tell you is the price of the tolls for the journey.
Clemson star ranking has been above ours , roughly #6 to #12. Didn’t breakdown O to D .
Further south . This generation is all about toes .Bob,

There been talk that this was very much about a connection with Dabo on the born again Christian thing.
With a name like that he should be interviewing to become a game show host.

Money talks. Plus, what could Dabo do other than coach? Becoming a talking head, that’s the definition of a job where you make no difference. Working with young adults who believe in you and are willing to put in the work and respect, wow, that’s a job where you can make a difference. Maybe he loves being a coach and sees the writing on the wall, sees that you gotta play the game. He’s not a pos. It’s my impression that he has a similar rapport with his players that CJF has for the PSU players. If CJF had a bad relationship with his players they wouldn’t be coming back.I’m still curious why Dabo is still coaching.
When they start paying players, count me out.
I believe that’s what he said 3-4 years ago.
Late in my career I was offered a non-teaching position that would have meant more money right then and also down the road. My wife, immediately upon hearing of the offer: “You’d be miserable.” Glad I stuck to teaching. I worked with some fine people, this is an enduring blessing and comfort.
I have nothing against the man at all. But, he was outspoken about paying players when it was an obvious situation that was going to happen.
Was at a banquet for HS FB players fall of ‘23. Marcus Freeman was the speaker and was asked about portal and NIL. While not happy with it, we have to deal with it it’s here to stay.
Better answer
Edit - to your most recent post. I interviewed for principal positions until I realized in administration I don’t have the direct contact with students that I enjoyed.

Helps to be in the worst conference in college football. Wonder how many playoff appearances if they had been in the Big 10 East or the SEC.
And no doubt they were being as shady behind the scenes as the SEC schools. Clemson was known to have bag men while Dabo makes sure he had layers of separation and wallked around going good holly miss holly. No one buys his act except those slurping the orange koolade.
King didn’t say thanks . Interesting . Adios Allen .
Dabo is qualified for this and working for his wife’s daddy. Or a preacher who desperately needs you to buy him a private jet because Jesus demands it. He’s a fraud.
It all happened pretty quickly, but I wonder if Franklin tried to get more money to keep Allen. It might not have mattered with that family-in-the-south horse-a$$.
There was little to no effort to keep Allen. Remember when they had to put him up in the booth, because King couldn't understand him on the headset? Franklin had to ask him to stop blowing his damn whistle so much at practice . LOL
I don't think it was a full blown personality conflict. Let's say it was a "cultural" mismatch.
I am not familiar with these incidents. That said, I had noticed Allen in the press box, while Diaz and Pry were on the sideline. I figured that was just personal preference.
