Odd triggered response to a simple logical question.
Tom Allen To Clemson as DC
- Thread starter Crossblock
- Start date
Unbelievably stupid and myopic to refer to him as a failure.
Rumblings on Twitter that PSU is trying to get Bryant Haines to replace TA. I hope we can match any offer they make him.
too bad signing a new offer in the last month isn't binding.
Probably the same people who insisted Cignetti would be gone after this season.
Haines will eventually be a head coach if he wants to be, and we’re not going to be able to hold onto him forever, but he’s currently benefiting from the big bump in $ available for IU assistants, and he’s not going to make a lateral move to a program whose head coach has a rep for losing the big games and whose status is less than certain.
This is behind a paywall but my guess is this where they are getting the info on Haines interviewing with PSU from.
PSU board says Haines and a Pro assistant coach have been the two interviewed.............Banda, Cleveland Browns safties coach, is the other guy.
Haines new deal is about $1.8M, slightly more than Tom Allen was making at PSU.
I really hope he stays.
I really hope he stays.
Would you rather coach under James Franklin or Cig.? Hope Haines stays. Bump his pay up to 2 mil if you have to.
This is the moment of truth for IU. Will they try to compete with Penn State financially?
Not sure what the appeal of Penn State is over IU right now other than maybe a slightly higher salary.

IU gave Cig a huge assistants pool that is close to the highest in the conference. IU did their part. Haines is making a boatload here. Frankly it's up to Cig to retain him.
One program loses every big game they play, and their fans boo the head coach. The other is led by the national COY recipient, beloved by a growing fan base, who is building “an emerging superpower” and will soon be consistently recruiting the aforementioned 4 and 5-stars.
Apparently Haines doesnt need 4 and 5 star talent to be a good coach.
Other coaches get the best team money can buy and get embarrassed at home.
I don't want to lose the guy either, but it doesn't change the fact that, for now, they're still Penn State and we're still Indiana. And there are differences in the programs that go beyond whether we can match salary or not.
Gotta say I'm disappointed by the fact whenever Indiana has success, "brands" come in to swoop up our coaches. Hopefully, Byrant realizes Indiana fans are hungry for continued success.
