Historically speaking, Tom Allen will have as much security in his new job as a Spinal Tap drummer or a henchman for Dr. Evil.
The list of men who have tried, and failed, to make Indiana's defense respectable continues to grow. Allen is already Kevin Wilson's third defensive coordinator in his tenure, the fifth person to hold at least the title of co-defensive coordinator. Allen was hired in mid-January after the Hoosiers once again finished near the bottom of the Big Ten, and the FBS, in several defensive categories.
That's a problem that pre-dates Wilson's arrival in Bloomington.
