Rick Neuheisel on the CBS halftime show…

[IUFreak]

just said our coach is the next Saban.

And discussion about whether we can keep him.

To that I say eff you people—let us have this moment. Lord knows we deserve it.

 

[td75]

Indiana will be forced to up Cignetti's pay very soon. After they spank Northwestern next Saturday, Dolson should probably renegotiate Cignetti's contract.

 

[Brockettman]

Renegotiate, and put in a huge buy out if someone wants to hire him away .

 

[Tammany Hall]

This appeared to be all Dolson’s hire and he sold Cig and staff on IU. I’m sure he has a plan if raises are deserved.

If things keep going well it will be interesting to see how much we can increase our NIL. Get some boosters excited I could see some pretty big increases. That coupled with the rev share (likely no issues for IU to fund that) could give this staff a lot more money for players.

All of the above could be a big boost in resources for the staff, which is obviously very appealing. No telling what happens if a huge program comes calling, but I suspect mid level programs may struggle to get him.

 

[ce36ei]

Just give him a lifetime. He’s old. Probably won’t coach past 70. Hand him the keys. He deserves it.

 

[OpenWheels]

Neuheisel ought to know about switching jobs.

Cuban can do more with his $4.6 billion. But alas, Cuban is not a visionary. Doesn’t see the impact of college football and the returns down the road. And, he hates the game of football in general.

Saban was 72. Mack Brown 72 and currently coaching. Bill Snyder was 79 when he retired in 2018.

 

[Btownboom]

Lets be honest the next Saban Is already at Alabama. Former IU OC.

 

[BCCHoosier]

Still think this talk is too early. Let's beat a few good teams first. Maryland and UCLA are solid wins, but we've had a favorable schedule so far.

Love Cig but the ink is not even dry on this contract.

And DeBore is up on UGa with the ball with under 4:00 to pkay in the 4th.

Spoke too soon.

I think Bill Snyder at K-state … would be a good model for CCC’s success at IU … Bill contended with Longhorns and those pony drawn wagons.

This game is crazy

Fortunes are changing fast tonight.

Cuban is not a visionary. LOL

 

[82hoosier]

It’s deja vu all over again!

 

[Big Red Crimson Buffalo]

Cuban is not a visionary. LOL

When it comes to supporting his alma mater, he’s tunnel visioned on basketball. He doesn’t even recognize football as vital to the health of the university. I think he actually dislikes the sport. So, yes, he lacks vision. Invest in your cash cow Mark!

He doesn't support the basketball program either. He is ardently anti-NCAA, and he refuses to give money to support college sports because of it.
