No position group has seen more change since the end of the 2021 season than the defensive line. Two starters used up their eligibility, and four more left via the transfer portal. But Indiana brings back three who have started in the past, brought in three transfers, and they have a promising group of freshmen. Indiana also has a new position coach in Paul Randolph, who arrived from Texas Tech. New defensive coordinator Chad Wilt, a former defensive line coach at Minnesota, will also have a voice, along with head coach Tom Allen, who will be calling the defensive plays…

Since he left Ohio State in 2017, Thad Matta had no shortage of opportunities to return as a head coach. After winning the Big Ten regular season crown five times and reaching the Final Four twice, few could match his resume. But Matta’s declining health made the demanding job even more of a challenge, and nothing that came his way seemed worth the toll. Even though he was just 49 years old when he departed Columbus, Matta’s career as a high major head coach seemed to be over. But something sparked when he arrived in Bloomington a year ago. Matta…

Miller was hired to be Rhode Island’s head coach on March 18, just over a year after being fired by IU. Of course Miller himself was the head coach at Indiana for four seasons, but in the last couple days he has made a couple additions to his new staff with recent ties to the IU program. One of Miller’s assistant coaches will be former Tom Crean assistant Kenny Johnson according to multiple reports.…
After a 2021 season that saw Indiana finish No. 124 (out of 129) in total yards and No. 123 in scoring offense, something had to change. As it is turning out, almost nothing remains the same. New offensive coordinator? Check. New offensive scheme? Check. New skill position coaches? Check. New skill position players? Check. When Indiana hired Kalen DeBoer to run the offense in 2019, the narrative coming out of the IU program was that not much would change under the new OC beyond the terminology. This time around, head coach Tom Allen isn’t afraid to admit there will be…

Reneau informed Cassidy he doesn’t have any visits set on the calendar, but he offered that Indiana is a trip he intends…
