Lol sorry I asked. Damn Dolson! 

Man some of you b**** a lot. 

I mean if he screws up... That's the Tom Allen extension, Adidas continuation, possibly another failed football hire and jury is still out on Woody.

Has IU ever had an AD that was well liked?   LOL

Nope.  Every darn one of them had at least one loss in football and/or basketball.  Incompetent.  I'm telling you. And those facilities...as soon as they are remodeled or built, they get older. With all the money we have...I mean, even Indiana State's team name means something.  For crying out loud. /s

It's day 246.  People are still arguing about Scott Dolson.  Though my eyes grow weary, I believe I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Bad decisions. Though he still has a massive one coming up. Does he stupidly continue with Adidas or do we finally move to Nike? That's a decision that is as big as any coaching decision. Unless that decision has already been made.

I can pretty much guarantee you (96% I’ll call it) we remain with adidas.  It’s all but done from what I understand.

I apologize for aging it on.

Man, I hope we find out today, CC can talk to our guys in the portal and make his pitch.

Sounds like we are on the 1-yard line. Hopefully it is the tush push and not the IU goalline offense

That Louisville game will haunt me for a long time

[Lebowski]

If we finalize the Cig deal, I'm looking forward to seeing how it all played out. How things were negotiated, NIL, etc.etc.  

 

Something tells me Cig made some conditions with NIL money. Just a gut feeling. Because he's got something to prove and he probably needs some player upgrades to accomplish it.

 I have about 15.5M reasons... and, deep fear that he will screw this hire up... 

That was your money?  Thank you sir!

That's just another massive strike.

I've kinda wondered how the trajectory of both teams may have changed if that had turned out differently.

I actually thought it would be Candle light….however, starved IU football is so giddy over a warm body for a successful win vs loss coach before his first touchdown at IU memorial football stadium.

Tom Allen contract extension as result of successful defense as assistant, Covid year success a couple years and players interrupting his tv interview by saying he was the best coach in the country.  Hired and extended based on emotion more than rationale.

The Cig interview with fans and McAphee showed student involvement and enthusiasm in JM football program.  For IU Cig has potential to be a good hire based on UNpower 5 wins vs losses and energy/enthusiasm.  Three or four or five years in power 5 league will ultimately tell the story.

IU should be encouraged with Whitten as their president.  Much better than those since and including Brand…much much better.

Cignetti may not have been a big conference HC, but from working at NC State and Saban's original Bama staff he does have high major recruiting experience and connections. He was WR coach and recruiting coordinator for Saban.

I get the concern but it's not like he'd be completely new this level, he does have some experience to draw on.

For hiring Mike Hart 2 days ago.

I will admit I got caught up a little too much in the Hart talk. Even still in my 40's I'm learning to have some patience and let things play out before jumping to conclusions.

Not just recruiting experience and connections but has seen first hand how a P5 program needs to be run. I doubt his practices would be compared to HS practices.

Nothing is announced yet. Until then there's time for IUFB to go full IUFB.
