Coach Curt Cignetti to INDIANA... Forever and Ever, Amen!

[WayneFleekHoosier]

IDK who but I hope the program makes a blueblood backing similar to what Kansas, Kentucky, Duke and others have done lately.  Without the backing and support we aren't likely to find success besides lightning in a bottle.

I would agree with everything about Justin. I believe he has a house in Brown Co already. I believe he interviewed last summer or the summer before but Allen thought he cussed too much. But he could call plays as the HC

If it were up to me, I'd be looking at a "Kalen DeBoer" type model. Maybe look into successful head coaches in the FCS or lower levels. Matt Entz, Glenn Caruso, and Brent Vigen come to mind first and foremost. Maybe Drew Cronic. I'm sure there are plenty of others to look into. In the grand scheme of things, it's a pretty big pool to choose from. 

Regardless, IUFB will most likely be a stepping stone for any coach that is successful here. So for me, hiring a coach that has left a nice foundation of success in past jobs would be a big part of the hiring process. Someone like Craig Bohl?

I wouldn’t mind seeing them hire Art Briles, people will say he has baggage and on the older side(it is working with Mack Brown and UNC). He had a legal victory last week clearing  him of negligence. He would bring his son as the OC and he is a proven winner. Briles does not have many opportunities, so he wouldn’t break the bank. 

Just win baby.

We should just bring in Urban Myer if we are going to bring someone in with baggage

I love Antwaan the man, but putting him in a position to fail and then having a messy split would be disastrous.  

I'd rather do that with Trent Green

Urban would be my #2

But he can coach. That's undeniable.

I like what you did there but that is not who I was talking about. I think this guy's time overlapped with ARE though. 

Trent Green?

While I think Randel El would be cool, it feels like something that could turn into a total disaster also. Seems like a really high ceiling low floor type of situation. That being said if we hired him I would be behind him 100%

No; Chris is referring to Adewale.

Kris Dielman? I'm sure you can't say but that's the best I got that overlapped with ARE lol

Seems to be Adewale.

Do 17 and 18 year old recruits know or remember who Randel-El or Trent Green is? Our alumni base isn't exactly the deepest pool of players. Not sure we should limit the hire to an alumni. Randel-El would be sweet as a fan in my 30s, but not sure he has the same type of allure with the people who are needed to be allured like a Coach Prime

To be fair those kids would have been maybe 10 when Calvin Johnson retired. Point is they aren't likely to remember the careers of any coaching candidate aside from highlight reels and what not.

Totally fair, just the football program doesn't have the same "need an alumni to fix this" feel that the basketball program did
