Excited for Hoosier fans that Indiana is fully engaged with Coach Cignetti's agent. Let's move this along so as not to be a distraction & tie-up Coach Cignetti et al.

There doesn't have to be any distractions, just get it done. I have faith in Scott.

We need to make him the highest paid coach in the B1G. IMO, he is comparable to having Nick Saban or Urban Meyer. Let’s pay the man and show we can keep up with the big dogs.

This shows Dolson isn't waiting until another team goes after this coaching staff. It is easier to pay the staff with sold out stadium being the norm.

A spanking new contract will be a big talking point when Indiana plays Oregon for the Big Ten Championship. The announcers will drool over Dolson and Indiana for getting out in front of this thing and nailing a championship coach down.

I owe Scott Dolson an apology email. I will email him and tell him he's obviously not only a football man but a GD genius!

No surprise in the least.

I’ll throw in a hundred bucks and a book of Crew Car Wash ultimate car wash’s.

WTF is there to negotiate? Just hand Cig a pen, a blank sheet of paper and say “write down whatever the f*** you want, we’re good with it”

I can help you sweetin' the deal with some Kohl's Cash!

 

[Hoosier Clarion]

Never was an issue, topic of concern or difficult decision. AD Dolson is a business guy 1st and a #'s guy 1A.

I’ve got a $50 gift card from Chrysler Capital because I overpaid my Jeep payoff. You know, if that would help. 😂

Seems like a distraction to me. I hope it is all IU and agent. Cig needs to be all in on UMich.

Have you not watched this man on game day? Or listened to any interviews? Laser focus of the Knight type.

I have said the same basic thing.

Dolson - "Coach, we want you to build a legacy at IU and retire from here as a legend. What's it going to take to make that happen"

Seems pretty simple to me!

 

[Crossblock]

If I were Cignetti, I would want to be sure that there is a big enough salary pool for the Assistant Coaches so We might be able to keep Them around longer. Given Cig's age and position in life, He seems like the type of Guy Who might take a little less if it meant guaranteeing higher compensation for his Assistants.

 

[Courtsensetwo]

If I am Scott I structure the deal packed with huge performance based incentives.

We cannot get ourselves into a $30 MM buyout situation.

We learned this the hard way twice

 

[Tammany Hall]

Go Scott.

This whole thing is probably pretty complex. You've got a big raise for Cig, a raise for the staff, and probably revised NIL/facility commitments into the future to assure we are competitive with other schools. Scott has to get this from the school and donors -- no better time than now, but there are a lot of moving pieces so I wouldn't be surprised if it takes some time.

Big moment for IU athletics. The revenue/benefits of being good at football outweigh whatever this is going to cost. Fingers crossed this all goes well.

Archie didn’t deserve the buyout he had, whereas Cignetti has the collateral to justify having one. It’s always a gamble, but the odds are too good for IU not to bet the farm on him.

CCC can splash zee pot whenever he wants

1000%

 

[Hoosiers Rising]

10 years, 100 million, guaranteed, with the buyout being the full amount remaining for both sides.

 

[Victorbmyboy]

The good thing about buyouts today is revenue sharing coming next year. Teams are more reluctant in pulling the trigger. IU might have finally timed something right.

To quote a Hoosier legend.

He deserved 8 figures a year for sure.

I totally agree. I think he'll want to reward his assistants who have been so loyal to him.

Is GD genius a reference to Gerry Dinardo?
