Could have had Cigs for free and with a huge ******* chip on his shoulder.
It would have been an amazing combination!

I wasn't that high on Rhule but then again I was in favor of hiring Fickell and he has been terrible at Wisconsin.
Cignetti at the time only had one year of FBS head coaching experience, and he went 8-3 that year. It's easy to say now he would have been a great hire, but if we had hired him then there would have been riots in Lincoln.
In hindsight we should have fired Frost after 2020 and hired Dan Lanning. Next time I'd be in favor of hiring a top up-and-coming assistant and spending more on NIL. The last three times we have hired .500 coaches and we've gotten .500 results.

Context matters. Good coach. I don’t think he would succeed in the B1G and apparently ADs agree.
Plus, he makes damn good $$$ for Ames Iowa and very little fan expectations.
