Iowa doing Iowa things in a 2 minute drill...which is nothing

That was a quarterback completely confused with a coaching staff that seemed to be yelling “your a qb figure it out”

SMU gets beat by Baylor.  We should jump them in the polls.

Nice, Sean McDonough in the Ole Miss-UK game just described a play as “rare missed tackling by Kentucky” after watching them give  up probably 100 yards by missed tackles in the 1st staff. Brain on autopilot.

Nice piece of coaching by the UK staff at the end of the half.

As will Florida. If IU puts another 10-2 or something like that out there how much money is 1 of those schools or someone like them gonna throw at Cignetti?

I think Cig retire here, as long as IU gives him whatever he wants.

Don’t worry, the money we made off our 7,000 unsold, s****y, $70 seats will cover it.

Well, I guess if you go from not having a pot or a window to a half billion or so after taxes there are probably worse ways to spend it.

We’re already paying him $9M and the staff budget is literally huge, easily top-10.  Hard to pay him much more.

Other schools can offer more NIL and football culture.  But do they want an older guy who has never recruited 5*’s in their part of the country?  Maybe.

I feel pretty good he stays — starting over somewhere is tough at his age and he would likely lose autonomy, job security, etc. at other schools.  He’s got plenty left to accomplish here and the fit is good.  But we do need to keep giving FB resources to win.

I dunno, just how I see it.

Being Alabama, she'll take the annuity and have to wait 6 years to have enough money to cover the buyout.

If you’re Coach Cig, is Florida even that appealing of a job? If his goal has always been a “name” school then we can’t compete with that. But it’s almost the iubb problem for Florida. They’re in a conference with Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Texas, and that’s before you get into school like Tennessee, Oklahoma, Ole Miss. The fans expect SEC and national championships. Florida would be way more pressure, and for what? (Assuming IU is giving him whatever he asks for). If Cig was 50 years old I think it’s a totally different conversation, but he’s 64.
