Great point.
Without knowing how things would play out, I'd hire Dusty 100%.
Though Cigs had a good track record, we had no idea how he'd do in his first P4 job. Or even if he'd like IU/Bloomington. And we had been gawdawful in football forever. There was no real indication he'd get us off our a$$ as quickly and to the extent he did.
Now, if this question is pitting Cigs' natty vs. Dusty's potential for one -- that's a no-brainer as well: Cigs six days a week and twice on Sundays.
