2011 Indiana Hoosiers football team American college football season
The 2011 Indiana Hoosiers football team represented Indiana University Bloomington during the 2011 NCAA Division I FBS football season in the new Leaders Division of the Big Ten Conference . The 2011 season was the first for new head coach Kevin Wilson , formerly the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma . The Hoosiers played their home games at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Indiana . They finished the season 1–11, 0–8 in Big Ten play to place last in the Leaders Division.
Before the season
The Hoosiers entered the season with a new outlook on the football program, after athletic director Fred Glass fired former head coach Bill Lynch and his staff and brought in Oklahoma offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson . To complete his staff, Wilson hired Kevin Johns (Northwestern) and Rod Smith (Michigan) as co-offensive coordinators and Mike Ekeler (Nebraska) and Doug Mallory (New Mexico, LSU) as co-defensive coordinators. The massive turnover in staff lead to a number of changes in team and player personnel. The main position battle heading into the season was at quarterback, with three main candidates (RS sophomores Edward Wright-Baker and Dusty Kiel and true freshman Tre Roberson ) were competing to replace senior Ben Chappell, who led the Big Ten in passing the season before.
