Now this is just getting ridiculous.
Recently-hired running backs coach Jemal Singleton is leaving IU for a job with Oklahoma State. Singleton is the fourth coach Kevin Wilson has lost in about a month, joining Brent Pease (Boise State), Jerry Montgomery (Michigan) and Corey Raymond (Nebraska).
This decision comes only a week after Wilson finally solidified his entire staff. It almost seems like these coaches are playing games with Wilson and IU.
I'm sure Wilson will quickly fill Singleton's position, but then again, it did take him a long time to hire a running backs coach in the first place. Maybe he doesn't have a good replacement. Either way, Wilson's staff continues to take hit after hit and we aren't anywhere near the season.
I can't even begin to imagine how the players are feeling now. They are probably starting to wonder if anybody is going to be here for the long haul.
A source with knowledge of the situation said several players are starting to get frustrated.
"These players have been talking to these coaches about turning things around," the source said. "And then they leave without even talking to the players. It's pissing them off."
This is purely speculation, but maybe there's something going on within the IU football program that we don't know about. It is a worrisome that four guys have gotten to Bloomington and then quickly departed.
Is there something we don't know?
