With success the past couple of seasons at Indiana, Tom Allen has attracted national attention. That attention, more often than not, has focused on if he would leave Bloomington for one of the blue blood programs across the country.

And now, social media reacts to the news that Allen has possibly met with Auburn. This Tweet below is tracking a flight between Auburn and Bloomington, Ind.

At 6-1 and No. 7 in the latest AP Top 25 Poll, Indiana is one of the great stories to emerge from this college football season. It shouldn’t be a surprise that Auburn, who fired Gus Malzahn this week, has interest in Allen.

After all, Allen took a doormat program and had them go toe-to-toe earlier this season with Ohio State. But that still doesn’t appear to be enough for Auburn fans, who unrealistically have higher expectations then Allen.

There’s also a few neutral observers who question Allen’s fit at a program like Auburn.

Here’s a sampling of that reaction:
