Cignetti next stop
- Thread starter NebChicago
- Start date
UF or FSU going head to head for the same coach.
I’d give the slight edge to UF in that battle. Cignetti won’t make a lateral move, it will have to be a big time program.Two dark horses are USC and Michigan.
If Michigan somehow beats Ohio State again then Day will be fired.UF or FSU going head to head for the same coach.

Whoever want him should offer $20 million year he’ll flee Indiana right away
He would do really well with all that Florida talent year in and year out.UF or FSU going head to head for the same coach.

Somebody needs to man the grills... No better man than Cignetti
People will be eating good in that neighborhood.... Lol
My guess is that he wants to stay at Indiana and isn't looking to leave. He doesn't strike me as a guy who suffers fools so I doubt that he would want to go a SEC school in the south.
Right?
Unless the money is just that big of a difference, why go?
Look, in 120 years of IU football this is the first time they have been 9-0. He can finish 9-4 and he is a god. He can go 6-6 the next 5 years and be
39-34 and STILL go down as one of their best coaches in history.
Also, feel free to check my math because I suck at it.
I would think his profile will never be hotter than right now. He’ll jump for one more crazy adventure
He has a very grating personality that I don't think would go over well here, or any blue blood program for that matter. Especially if he's not successful right away. I think he has a really good situation going on in Indiana and should coach and retire there.
It would be very interesting to see Cignetti, Sanders & Rhule stay where they are for a number of years to see how each of their approaches work over the longer term.
I’ve always wondered about this old phrase. We all know what it means, or how it’s used, but where did this phrase really come from? How did it start? What specifically is a “flash in the pan”? Does anyone really know? Does anyone really want to know or care? Just some things to think about… gbr
I googled it and this is one explanation...
"The term 'flash in the pan' originated sometime during the late 17th century, when flintlock muskets were used. An attempt to fire a musket that resulted in gunpowder flaring up but no ball firing was referred to as a flash in the pan."
I KNEW it had to do with gunpowder! "No ball firing" = I love this
It would be Urban Meyer II. Possibly without the off the fie
Google me. That comment seemed to indicate that he wanted national attention.
I agree, for the most part fans of big time programs need to have their balls (egos) massaged. We like to feel that the coach "works" for us and that he should be there to answer our questions.
I just can't imagine a 65 year old career asst coach wanting that type of annoyance and pressure UNLESS it comes with a payday that just makes zero sense to turn down.
Like I said, he would stay at Indiana for 5-6 more seasons and never win more than 6 games and they will love him.

I had a different take on the "Google me" comment. I look at it as a guy who was dismissive of a question about how he sells his team culture. If he's short with reporters after getting hired and in the honeymoon period, how will he be at a place like Florida which is a whole different world?
Or... he thinks like a Brian Kelly and can win regardless of where he goes. Whatever the case, most coaches are old school and won't leave a place after only one year.
Well if I had to guess it would come from firing a old musket . You could see a flash but it didn't fire. ? Ha, ha, I didn't see that you looked it up already. I be smart and ****.

I looked up what I could find on his contract so not only does he get 4 mil a year at Indiana, he seems like he will hit near a million in bonuses and trigger an automatic one year extension since he is going bowling.
He may end up retiring from IU, if he makes the playoffs they’ll name a building after him there

If they make it...it is going to TRIGGER some firings at the other doormat Big Ten schools.
He has massively exceeded expectations. NO ONE saw that coming. If they did come, I want to see receipts
