Talk about rejection, the University of Indiana is sure getting their fair share and more. They hired a new football coach and like any coach he started scouring the country for coaches he thought would be a good fit for his program and help turn Indiana football around.
He raided the Boise State Broncos coaching staff and came away with the receivers coach, Brent Pease. However 2 weeks after Pease accepted the OC job at Indiana the Texas Longhorns came to the Broncos courting OC Bryan Harsin and managed to take him back to Texas with them.
Pease had been up front with Indiana and told them his real desire was to be the OC at Boise State and saw it as a launching pad into becoming a head coach. When he accepted the Indiana position he had no prior knowledge that Harsin would be offered and accept the Texas Longhorn position. Once Harsin moved on the job was offered to Pease, Indiana showed tremendous class and let Pease out of the contract with no penalties.
Since then things have gone from bad to worse for Indiana. Since Brent Pease was hired and left three other new hires have followed suite. Jerry Montgomery of Michigan and Corey Raymond of Nebraska were recent hires that moved on shortly after accepting their positions with Indiana. The most recent defection was running backs coach Jemal Singleton. Hired just last week he has already accepted new position with the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
I don't know what is wrong with Indiana but somethings amiss. I don't know how they can truly field a team if they cant even fill their coaching jobs. Indiana Coach Kevin Wilson seems to be the most snake bitten coach in all of college football.
