Coaching matters. Wherever he ends up he's probably going to succeed. Because this guy is just getting started at D1. And whatever Dolson decides to do, his Cig hire helped him make the "non conventional" decision. I'll say it again, coaching matters.

Going through his criteria list when deciding to come to IUFB was a good discussion. It basically tells me that coaching matters to him. The Nandolorian

Reminds me of Andrew Luck. If his skills are half as talented as Luck IUFB is in great shape!

This is coming from an IUFB faithful, I believe we will be both. IU will always be a basketball school but the 2024 IUFB season gave all the fans a glimpse at what can be for football season. Coaching matters. "Change the way people think." -Coach Cig

I think we'll always be utilizing the transfer portal. That's just the way CFB is now. Just so long as depth and development is there we should be golden.

I'm starting to get pretty comfortable with the OL room. We've actually upgraded and depth is finally getting there. Front five depth is a core necessity to every successful program from high school to the NFL and everything in between. And I hope we're able to land more 'upper talent' out of high school. I'm on cloud nine folks! I never thought in my life time I would see a day where IUFB is making all the moves I've been dreaming about.

The Dude abides. I don't have a clue about a coach for IUBB. Lol. I will say if IUFB stays the course y'all won't even care about basketball season anymore. ;-)

You and me both. Good teams figure out a way to win games like this. Knight went off on the scorers table. lol That was a fun year to watch IUBB.

OL Trey Wedig has also upped his NFL scout look at the East West Shrine Bowl. The two Hoosiers on the roster (CJ West and Trey Wedig) have turned heads this week. I think it's safe to say NFL scouts will start visiting Btown more frequently now. Not that they haven't already but it's probably going to happen a lot more now.

Way too many on my list but when I saw the title of this thread I instantly thought of the game against LSU in the 87 tournament.

Thanks for sharing. I wonder why he decided to forego the draft. Good for him. For selfish reasons I would have liked to see him pursue the league. But really happy for the guy.

I'm not sure where to post this but, CJ West upped his scout look for the NFL draft yesterday during practice for the Shrine Bowl.

Here's a nice depth chart put together by Jamie Jordan. Here's his substack: https://jamiejordan.substack.com/

I'm biased but I would have IUFB at #7 A magical season for the ages. I'll never forget it. I hope to see more during the Coach Cig era.

O$U has been a completely different team since their UM loss. They are definitely the best team in the country.

@Hovadipo on3 and Hummel blows for sure. LOLOL!!!! @Stuhoo option 3, a loved one/wife is from PA.

I can't blame anyone for answering a door when opportunity knocks. Especially if it's a nice pay increase. Hopefully he thinks IUFB is the better job. He was at IUP for a couple of years. I'm wondering if his wife or something is from PA. Poop man, I don't even know if he's married. LOL.

Haines is a good coach. I completely understand why PSU is interested. Hopefully during his interview Franklin effs up and presents a giant red flag. We'll see man. At some point we'll be doing the same kind of poop of poaching solid coaches.
