Indiana counting on that VC money?

Maybe not any more. PSU is counting on the Adidas money.

Why Finebaum says Cignetti's extension is a 'terrible move' for Indiana. Interesting that the only bad hires he references were non SEC hires. Lots of SEC homers quaking that a BIG program is throwing out that level of money.

There's got to be an Bama angle to all of Finebaum's comments.

Have a chance to compete for playoffs with more limited resources at Indiana, or compete for titles with unlimited resources at a blue blood?

Money isn't the motivating factor for most football coaches. It will ALWAYS be about winning.

If Bama came calling he'd be gone in a heartbeat.

Then Indiana get a huge buyout. Furthermore if these coaches are successful in creating a winning culture then that said school can BECOME a blue blood. The more success comes more money and resources to a school that takes it seriously. I don’t understand how people think it’s just a set concrete thing and never shifts.

Programs grow and programs decline in either direction all the time.

On any successful football team at any level (from pop warner to nfl) it really freeking helps to have an elite qb!
Cignetti should give at least 25% of his extension $$$ to Mendoza because he's obviously crossed over "the
line" ...wait...wait...wrong sport

His buyout is only $15m.

How many Indiana-level programs have emerged with consistent success over the last 10-15 years that weren't traditional football schools?

That is a pretty good buyout for the coach to pay if he takes another job. That is quite different from the amount that he would GET if he is fired for performance (i.e. not "for cause").

I have no idea how good Indiana is They have the oregon win. But then Oregon struggled with NW and PSU. Indiana probably should have lost to Iowa.

I also think there are few really good teams and many more than can win on a given day.

 

[Cuse On 3]

Haha

 

[ElwoodJBlues]

Haha

I think it’s a lot to think Nix would follow Fran and not get the Cuse HC job

 

[Cheriehoop]

Trying to affect us recruiting their players? They sound scared,

That is my entire point. It's not enough money to keep him at Indiana if the blue bloods come calling, and the contract is a massive amount if the program starts to backslide into 6-6 seasons
