Main article: 2016 Indiana Hoosiers football team

The Hoosiers finished the 2016 season 6–6, 4–5 in Big Ten play to finish in fourth place in the Eastern Division. The highlight of the season was beating No. 17-ranked Michigan State, as well as beating Purdue to become bowl eligible for the second year in a row; a feat last accomplished in the 1990 and 1991 seasons. Following a loss to Utah in the Foster Farms Bowl, Indiana finished their season 6–7.

Offseason

Following the season, the Hoosiers would fire sixth year Offensive Coordinator Kevin Johns on January 2, 2017 and hire Tennessee Offensive Coordinator Mike DeBord two days later.[3][4] On January 4, 2017, Grant Heard joined the Hoosiers' coaching staff as the wide receivers coach. He formerly coached at Ole Miss.[5] On March 3, 2017, Mike Hart was hired to fill the vacant role of running backs' coach.
