You are making my point. Franklin was about the same at psu. Cignetti at Indiana was about the same at James madison. Campbell was only a 7 win a season coach at isu.
New Coaching Staff
- Thread starter Patterson825
- Start date
His roster was horribly mismanaged. His game day coaching was bush league. His leadership was non existent. His coaching staff was woefully inept in the most vital areas of the modern game.
His stench is being cleaned up and jettisoned into the sky by a real, talented, and respected brand new coaching staff and anyone left over supporting his fake *** can kick rocks. It's finally over and we finally have a coaching staff AND new roster we can be proud of.
To me, the most surprising retention of the former staff is Alan Zemaitis. I didn't expect him to stay, but it suggests Matt Campbell gets the bigger picture.
I also think Alan Z and Terry B are Krafty Kraft's inside confidants advising him what was wrong with the previous regime.

Go talk about our former coach in one of the threads specifically about him. And F IU.

Doesn't sound like someone PSU needs with the issues you mentioned.
I actually played baseball with him in high school at Valley. Super nice kid and was quite the character. He was a pretty good D coordinator at Duke and Georgia Tech.

Sounds like he fits right in with the Ratbirds. He should stay there.
He’s referring to the Great Santini … not Tyler Santucci
Exactly. Make a joke answer? Get a joke response. I like the guy but he's constantly making little jokes about every little thing.
He isn't. The great Santini had deeply troubling mental issues. Tyler Santucci though is a good coach and a good man.

Supposedly he is going elsewhere. Other sources are saying the same. Who knows. Info overload.
Their recruiting is improving, they have good NIL resources and one of the best coaches in the country who adeptly uses the portal not to mention a great developer of talent. Indiana will not fade back to obscurity.
WE ARE happy about this potential hire, yes?
I tend to agree with you. I think this year has made them relevant going forward. However, Cig will keep getting his name called for “bigger” jobs and the AD will be under constant pressure to get more for him - more resources, more pay, improvements to facilities etc.
Indiana isn’t for everyone, and I think they'll face some recruiting headwinds for that reason alone (just like we do in state college). Their fans are surely passionate, but the gameday experience in Indiana is quite different than what you get in bigger Big10 schools. That may appeal to some, not others. Obviously money talks so a lot of it comes down to their ability to generate NIL money. It’s clear and obvious that Cig can coach, motivate, and develop talent. And now he can claim he got a guy a Heisman Trophy. The talent will continue to come, or be found by him and his staff.
I tend to think they’re here to stay, but they certainly will face a lot of pressure to regress to the mean.
Snyder and Sauber hinted that Lynn might be more interested in the DC job now that Franklin is gone. Would be a good hire I think.
My point is that just because it’s Monmouth it doesn’t automatically mean, ah forget it.
The BIG Champ game definitely shifted my opinion of them. Kind of reminded me of some of the old JoPa teams, sort of suffocating OSU and just not letting them ever get going. Still not sold IU is here to stay, but the beginning of the end hasn't show up yet. Life without Mendoza will be the real test.
He is projected to go in the first round as a top five player, so unlikely he comes back.
Landon sees Lynn as a potential hire too .
Typical BGJ bullshirt if he had the opportunity to hire Lynn last year and picked that year's shiny object to chase after instead. Gimmicky nonsense is not good, sustainable football.
It's just not all that complicated most of the time. Know your assignment, make your reads, make a play, and TACKLE! If it takes three freaking years to 'understand your system' your system sucks.

Lynn turned us down last year and got a raise from USC. I think his interest this year might be more of a reflection of what he thinks of Franklin...
I don't think I was aware of this, really - but sounds like the older guard of letterman never really bought all the way in with BGJ.
