I'm scared of this possibility because it seems like the most IU Football thing ever.
Jason Candle (HC Toledo) - thoughts?
- Thread starter Let 'er Fly
- Start date
They did the same thing with Tucker. How'd that turn out?
Rich Rodriquez HC at Jacksonville State would make a great candidate. JSU smacked Eastern Michigan this year. His teams are exciting including winning a couple of games in the closing minutes unlike our departed HC who would give victory away in the closing minutes. He has had experience at Michigan and other places with success.
Toledo is, in terms of history and facilities and recruiting, the pinnacle of the MAC. At IU Candle would face a task similar to what his predecessor at Toledo Matt Campbell faced at Iowa State.
No thanks. He's 62 so I don't see him having enough runway left for an IU turnaroundI would rather go this route.
Curt Cignetti - Football Coach - James Madison University Athletics
James Madison Director of Athletics Jeff Bourne named Curt Cignetti the eighth head coach in the history of the JMU football program on December 14, 2018. Cignetti,jmusports.com
Long shot but make Kalen D say no. Next, go after Willie Fritz from Tulane . . . after all, IU football has been on the fritz for years now anyway. Seriously, Fritz may not have coaching experience at power 5 but it seems everywhere he's been his teams have been near the top of their conference. I believe Tulane upset USC in the Cotton Bowl.
Great coach who, ironically, once coached at at Indiana University.—of Pennsylvania.
IIRC the Tulane coach is 61 or 62, and Patterson is older than either of them.
Make him a Stevens offer. He won't have MP next year. He might listen.
Hard pass. Their defense is worse than ours.
They'll quickly fall back to earth: 1) after Penix is gone; and 2) they've got the rigors of a Big Ten schedule week in and week out.
And yet they're one game away from a final 4 playoff birth. We should be so inept.
Agree, DeBoer is a winner. His team is 12-0.
Ha ha, yeah, the Big 10 doesn't necessarily scream high-powered offense . I don't think a Penix-less Washington will be too worried about next season. The only teams that should be worried next year are every team from the soon-to-be former West division (as their fraudulent, cushy existence the past ten years will be taken away) and...Indiana.
IMO he probably should be-currently making about $1 million a year less than Allen IIRC
Deboer should be able to recruit the best quarterbacks the West Coast has to offer. That alone should guarantee a fair level of success at UW.
Yeah weird flex on Deboar. Washington has everything needed to compete in the B1G. I mean is the B1G any better or that much better than the PAC12 has been? If Penix wins the heisman kids notice.
If we go MAC, and I’d really prefer we go Group of 5 if we’re looking for up and comers, as it’s less of a jump, but I’d prefer Candle to Creighton. The record is simply stronger, and there is simply some juju in that water at Mount Union that I wouldn’t mind IU having a taste of.
