Where Tom Allen and Indiana football’s former assistants will be working in 2024

BLOOMINGTON — New Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti overhauled the team’s staff when he took over.

The lone holdover from Tom Allen’s tenure was offensive line coach Bob Bostad, who was one the more recent additions.

Much of Indiana’s staff from last year including Allen have landed elsewhere over the past two months. Here’s a look at where they will be coaching in 2024:

Penn State coach James Franklin hired Allen to be his defensive coordinator. It will be PSU’s third new defensive coordinator in as many seasons in the wake of the departures of Brent Pry (Virginia Tech) and Manny Diaz (Duke).

“I’ve enjoyed following his coaching career and his experience as a head coach and defensive play caller will bring tremendous value to our program,” Franklin said, in a release. “Coach Allen has led aggressive and attacking style defenses that will complement what we have already established.”

Penn State was one of the best defenses in the country last year with the No. 2 ranked in total defense (247.6 yards allowed per game), the top ranked rushing defense (75.5 yards) and No. 3 scoring defense (13.5 points).

Indiana is scheduled to play Penn State three times over the next five seasons. The Hoosiers will host PSU in 2027 and visit State College in 2025 and 2028.
