It'll be good to have him for the 10 times IU has to punt it next year.

Mitch McCarthy, punter from UCF has committed to the Hoosiers. https://hoosierhuddle.com/hoosier-blog/iu-adds-to-portal-class-mitch-mccarthy-ucf-punter-commits-to-hoosiers/2024/12/15

Yep. He was also given Fife and after firing him just promoted Walsh. He has shown just as much effort in selecting his assistant coaches as he's shown for all other aspects of the job.

I agree on the depth piece. As does TDH .https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/niu-transfer-cb-amaryiun-knighten-commits-to-indiana/ https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/amariyun-knighten-1.html

Must just do kickoffs. 0-1 FG, 0-0 XP. Has more tackles than points scored (1) in his career. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/brendan-franke-1.html

I believe there were also people from his Atlanta days saying he was very stubborn so he refused to listen to ideas from assistant coaches and refused to make changes.

That is a legitimate concern that I share. I'm not too concerned though, since some of the players IU is targeting in the portal are also getting recruited by other schools with good teams. If there is a time to really make a splash in portal recruiting, that time is now. Cignetti and his staff so far seem to have a good eye for talent. They also seem to have certain types they tend to target for the positions they're looking to fill. Remember, Cignetti was a main recruiter at Alabama so he knows what top talent looks like. So while I can understand that concern, I think it's too early to really worry.

I don't believe you. 9-2=7, not the 8 you stated. Also, 9-2 is too low scoring to be believable. :)

Woodson and co. recruited him so they recognize the talent. They just can't develop the talent or get all the talent to play well as a team.

Zalan Sarknay wins gold in the 800m at the SC World Championship for Hungary. He was able to do it in front of a home crowd which is awesome for him.

Ever? You must be new here. NGW comes to mind as someone even worse and there have been a few others.

Rivals put their portal tracker behind a pay wall. Here is another from TDH: https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/iu-football-transfer-portal-tracker-following-the-2024-regular-season/ This one mentions Duce Robinson, USC WR that I haven't seen on other lists: https://clutchpoints.com/indianafootball-news-5-top-targets-in-transfer-portal

I thought he was better than Miller since he actually made the NCAA twice. Now I'm starting to change my mind that Woodson exceeds even that very, very low bar. Those two seasons were with Miller players, TJD in particular. Of course, the Woodson apologists say that TJD was out the door so Woodson gets credit keeping him. Miller brought him to IU and coached him for 2 years. He's a Miller player. Both are such bad coaches that it's really hard to tell now which is worse.

Maybe Woodson's goal is to make everyone notice the other sports more. Other sports still going on which IU is good at: Football Women's basketball (not as good as the last few years but better than this **** show) Both swim teams

I wanted Dolson fired last spring. Cignetti's success has changed my mind. For now.

Just found the voting record. Yes, Tevin Coleman in 2014. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/awards/heisman-2014.html

Randle El? Have we had anyone since him?

Because he is a bad coach who is also a bad evaluator of talent.

IIRC that is where he almost went last time he entered the portal so I can't say I'm surprised. What's the scary situation? That he's going to Michigan or something else?

I wonder what kind of bonus (if any) assistant coaches get for winning awards like this. Anyways, congratulations to him. Well deserved.

Wow, the whining from the fans over something so inconsequential.

So what is a lame duck BoT Chair going to do? Get an AD fired for trying to do his job when he himself has only a few months left? Are you really being serious here? I would also point out that Dolson has more clout now than he 6 months ago. Unless something changes and the basketball team actually gels and plays at the level they're capable of, Woodson will have underperformed yet again and fan enthusiasm and attendance will be down. Compare this to Dolson's football hire and his effect on the football program. Woodson is gone after the season unless Dolson wants to keep him. QB won't have the power to prevent it. The question is whether Dolson is behind him or not. I think the lack of a statement of support after last season shows that it really is QB and not Dolson behind Woodson getting this year.

QB is out middle of next year. So only a few months after the end of the season. No way a lame duck has the power to force Dolson to keep Woodson.

Who'd think that I'd ever look at that list of schools and think IU would be the best choice for a football player? Cig is going after some good players. He looks like one.
