If we lose a head coaching candidate to JMU we are down bad lol

We really gotta stop posting every rumor some random account with 100 followers posts lol, they’re just trying to capitalize on rumors

Pretty much this, as much as we hate on IU football. they’re a member of the B10/SEC which are the two power conferences at this point, and partly why I think Indiana realizes they need to take football more seriously, because that’s what drives everything

If Cignetti is happening, it almost certainly won’t be tonight. it won’t come out after 10 PM on a Wednesday

I don’t know why people say this, coaching types covet the power conference jobs. Not many people are content to never compete at the highest level, even when it’s a program like IU where competing usually just means striving for 6-6 seasons. Also, the fact he would be getting a massive pay increase probably helps. I honestly think way too much is made of programs struggling to win honestly… If it’s true we have a decent sized NIL budget lined up for him, you can win here. We’ve seen a lot of awful programs historically speaking figure it out with the right coaching hire… look at Duke/Kansas

? Cignetti was never the OC at Pitt

Everyone can do that, but I don’t see P5 teams lining up to do it. Regardless of how much we think IU sucks, there will always be an appeal to coach in a power conference, especially with the current conference format where there will be fewer and fewer power jobs.

Candle is out or Herman? Aren’t both on the list to be interviewed, at least according to Rabby?

Because we can pay him 3-4x what he’s making now, would probably be the main attraction.

I still think Herman is the best option

Dunno if this is what you’re hinting at, but I noticed he was left off Osterman’s list… I was told by someone I trust relatively well that Herman has spoken/met with Dolson.

This is such a stupid conversation, if the kid wants to go enroll early at IU and get more time with his brother and dad on campus who cares? In what way are you qualified to speak to whether he’s mentally mature enough to handle college?

The SEC doesn’t care

Sounds like he’s a heavy Kentucky lean.

IF we offered is the key. We haven't offered him. Judging by the fact we're offering a bunch of similar players positionally who are higher ranked in recent days, there's no guarantee that offer was imminent or coming at all.

I don’t get the point of saying rankings don’t matter. yes I agree, don’t put all of your eggs in the rankings basket... but this isn’t a lowly ranked kid who has quite a few power 6 programs involved. He has exactly one power 6 offer and it came within the last week. clearly as of now, 99% of college coaches in the game tend to have a similar view to what his ranking says. Not to say that those offers can’t come, but I don’t know why Indiana needs to be the first to jump at him if he wants to be here so badly.

Received a Purdue offer tonight.

He can play a bunch of spots, ranging from defensive back to defensive end. Who knows what he’ll end up here, we could use him at every spot. The Husky position might fit him here (basically a hybrid linebacker/safety role).

I think for 247 it’s about the top 40ish are 5 stars?

the best part of this is Dasan apparently has a close connection with Caden Curry. We'll have to fight off the big boys for him, including OSU, but having Dasan in his ear can't hurt. There's a number of 4 star guys we're after that you gotta hope seeing Dasan ding for us makes it easier for them.

You'd think there would be more interest after the year we had and the type of recruits we are going after. HSN seems more active on the football front right now.

He seemed pretty dead set on OSU... Now? Seems like a matter of time before he flips to IU after all these crystal balls.

Would be a hell of a pick-up.... Would hopefully get the ball rolling among the multitude of 4 star recruits we’re recruiting right now...

Would love to try to get the brother to flip but he seemed pretty dedicated to OSU.

Chris said that’s what he was told, I believe
