Though Indiana defensive coordinator Tom Allen was rumored to be one of Ole Miss’s top targets for its open defensive coordinator position, he has since taken a better offer.
After the surprise firing of head coach Kevin Wilson on Thursday evening, Allen was quickly promoted to that position for the Hoosiers.
However, it appears Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze, despite losing out on a good coach, has no hard feelings toward his friend:
So proud for my friend @Tom_Allen44 and his wonderful family!! IU got a good one!! Mentor of men

Allen served as the Rebels’ linebacker coach from 2012 to 2014, the first three years of Freeze’s tenure in Oxford.
