Does Coach Bostad have any eligibility left?
So I try googling Cooper Sherrod, and another player, Sherrod Cooper, kept popping up. Bizarre name similarity. But I couldn't quite reconcile an african american player who played safety with the kid in this thread.
He needs to change or delete his Twitter. Everything is WisconsinDoes Coach Bostad have any eligibility left?
I like recruits, especially lineman, taking their picture with The Rock!
We want another seven blocks of limestone!

And that is what you want your offensive lineman to look like.

After 60 years of being mostly disappointed, this IS the IU of old until proven on the field.
He is a good sized OLman that I want to see at IU. OC Bell is a terrible coach wanting them to be smaller in the B1G. I hope we see our OL being huge and strong this year and in the future.
Many of the recruits visiting have stated about the bright future of IUFB. Coach Cignetti & staff are definitely changing the recruiting attitude. Folks the landscape is changing. Go Hoosiers!

I am excited and Coach has me believing but like Charlie Brown, I have had the football moved too many times!
Coach is getting fans, players, and recruits to believe things are different and that is why he was brought in. I will believe him and welcome anyone along for the ride this season and in future seasons.
Yeah, and his Dad looks like he has three inches on him so he probably has some more growth. We had some lineman on our team that honestly looked more frumpy than intimidating . That dude is going to be a truck.
A new coach usually brings in hope and optimism as is the case with CCC. I’m all in with the new coaching staff and I think they will make us competitive and respectable but time will tell. I’m hoping the attitude, experience and the fact that most have worked together is what puts us in a better place than other new regimes.
The one thing I feel confident in is with the players and coaches he brought with him, they aren't needing to spend nearly as much time establishing a new system in the program. They bring a big chunk of talent that already knows both the O and D. Having those players in the room helping coach the new or holdover talent with or without the coaches will also speed things up.
I can't realistically predict a win total but I do expect we'll be able to visually notice a vast improvement in game to game competitiveness. It may result in a large improvement in our wins and losses but only time will tell.
Yes, even Oregon gave up on the endurance approach… third and 1 is a contest of strength, most of the time.
I have not felt this way since Hep was named coach. I still think he would have made us competitive but....
My hope is this time they (Dolson) got it right!
bringing most of his old staff with him is huge
I would agree. I find it hard to point at any one thing he has done that justifies my logic as it really seems to be a collection of things that have invoked confidence. We'll see if it's all false hope or not.
However, if you put a gun to my head and made me choose, I would say the gun seems like a bit much considering the topic.....but also, I would answer by saying our hope has changed because of his ability to overly express his confidence. Not just long-term expectations like Hep made but his first words after landing in Indy was that IU would be in Lucas Oil playing in the B1G title game NEXT season. When our roster was completely dismantled at the time. ha I mean.... that's how you have to go about changing the mentality of a dormant program like IU.
We'd be buying the same blather if it was coming out of Tom Allen or Ryan Walters if they were 1st year coaches at IU.
The difference is Cignetti has turned programs around before. He knows what he's doing and what he's saying. It has substance, whereas Allen and Walters are just talking, building houses of straw.

I look at Jerry Kill's success at Minny as a similar situation.
Before the health concerns, I remember him bringing in his staff from the start.
I also remember thinking that an intact staff is an advantage.
Go Hoosiers! I'm getting old. Running out of time. Need to win now.
Massive grin!

Double DITTO!
Coach Cignetti has been there done that. Not a paper lion.
I hope IU is paying Bostad well so he will not be tempted to leave. Maybe
we should have an NIL for coaches.
He got a pay bump. He's doing okay
This coaching staff has fewer questions than any since the 2019 season and I can see every position being better due to the coaching. It is fun being exciting about IUFB again and I hope most fans feel the same way I do right now.
This is true. I am also excited about IU football. Why not have some fun with it until they prove otherwise?
I’d be more worried about the QB coach. I think he’ll be a coach in the future.
