Cignetti Signs with IU Through 2033

FL Cane said:


Didn’t think he was leaving IU to begin with, but him being definitely off the market shakes things up in the CFB job market, especially for Penn State.

I don't know if this is where the fever breaks in CFB, but this is absolute MADNESS.

Historians will point to this moment as a key point (of many) where CFB collapsed upon itself.

I believe he'll be 71 at tbe end of contract.

With Cuban involved, I don't know how it will affect their NIL, but 11mil, as reported, ain't gonna cut it.
Mendoza went because he didn't have the confidence to go somewhere more high-pressure. Nothing wrong with that, but they would not be in the position they're in now w/o him and the next guy they try to get isn't going to Indiana without likely a third of their reported NIL spend this year. Not an ideal recipe for success.
 
This "extension" has a 15 million dollar buyout. Penn State just paid $49 million for Franklin's buyout.

That means it's not an extension. It's public theatre to temporarily placate recruits. With that size of a buyout it wont' stop the the big schools from throwing major money at Cig once the season is over. This does nothing to end the speculation that Cig will take a job at one of the more established blue bloods.
 
Kinda crazy this guy spent 12 years at IUP, Elon and James Madison after being the WR/RC under Saban at Bama for three years. You’d think he would have ascended quicker.

That’s bananas. I mean there’s been some crazy stuff recently with coaches, but this is a whole new ballgame. Wonder what the “cause” clause looks like?
Being completely honest whomever signed off on that should be fired.

That’s crazy. I get that you don’t wanna lose your coach, but there’s no way he’s worth that unless they make a run in the CFP.
For some reason, I’m just not a believer in he or Indiana.

I haven’t watched any of their games, but my buddy who’s lives in Ohio and is a Buckeyes fan mentioned the importance of Indiana’s good coaching.

He mentioned there is no way Indiana is getting quality talent even with NIL, but some kids could be taking a 2nd look now.

To me the perfect person would be Al Golden. The only reason Golden failed at UM was due to his loyalty to Mark D’Onfrio.

Dude killed a promising career at UM over his friend. I can understand looking out for his friend and bringing him on as a position coach but never a DC.
 
IF Santo Mario get Miami to:

- ACCCG...extension?
- ACCCG W...extension?
- CFPO appearance...extension?
- CFPO W...extension?
- Natty game appearance...extension?
- Hoist the Natty...extension?

None of the above until Y6?
