BLOOMINGTON, IN – Head Indiana football coach Tom Allen announced he’s ready for a fresh start.

Following Saturday’s quadruple overtime battle with middling MAC program Akron, Allen seemed reluctant to discuss his job security.

“Let’s call it what it is, it’s embarrassing,” lamented Allen. “Boos from the crowd, my house got TP’ed, my dog was shaved, I think it’s clear my days in Bloomington are numbered. That’s why I’m announcing my plan to hit the transfer portal.”

It is certainly unusual for a coach to use the transfer portal. Established for players to quickly seek a new team opportunity, the college football transfer portal has become a hot topic.

“To my knowledge, Allen would be the first coach to use the transfer portal,” said veteran analyst Kirk Herbstreit. “I mean, Indiana fans and boosters have really only left him with one choice. That’s to resign. We’ll see if the market has any interest.”

No college teams have yet publicly expressed a desire for Allen. Some observers believe Allen may land back his old job as defensive coordinator for Ben Davis high school.
