Steubenhoosier Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 I have mentioned this before in various threads. I was in Madison when Bucky was just as bad as we are… and without the money we now have. Why can’t we find our Barry Alvarez who will make the school his career? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean realistically this was Tom Allen. Had he been successful I think he’d have been our guy for the next 15 years, just didn’t work out.

5fouls Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 I have been informed by 7 different people very close to the program who the next coach will be. Unfortunately, all 7 gave me a different name. 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Cignetti's track record is certainly impressive. His stop in Tuscaloosa alone gives him credibility being part of Saban's tree. I'm also intrigued by Mike Hart and I can't put my finger on it other than he's been here. Knows the Big 10,etc... Honestly would be ok with either even though Herman was my first choice. One totally random thought and I know it wouldn't happen. Do you think if we named Hart HC that ARE would come and be associate HC or whatever? Just curious if he would take that as a slap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like Hart is some random dude. He has ties to the organization. That said, if I am ARE, I am not signing on for anything less than head coach.

Need a clean slate, something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense to Zach, he's a good dude, is good at what he does, and has been around the IU beat for a long time, but with that said it sounds like he knows basically what everyone else does...nothing. Like, when these guys say a name along with, "has been gaining traction", what does that mean? It sounds like it means that the name is being mentioned on Twitter and message boards. Which really doesn't mean anything. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderMonkey Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Does anyone know what NIL money other B10 and SEC schools have at their disposal for the football program? 3million for football doesn't sound like a lot to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the respect in the world to people like Zach or others who are on the beat but he's not an insider by any means and if people at IU were wanting to leak information to see what the public thinks they wouldn't be using him. Shoot I could be an insider just pulling information from here. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're going realistic, even if Bear Bryant was head coach, with Nick Saban and Bobby Bowden as assistants, IU is not going to be hanging out in the college football playoff. If, and it's a big IF, we stumble across a coach that gets us to 9-3 in a couple of years, that coach is not going to be at IU the following season. Just not going to happen. And, then IU is right back trying to find a new coach, and with player free agency, a potentially massive rebuild. And, then if that rebuild is successful, we go through it all over again. The one exception to that rule would be someone with deep ties to the university. If you're lucky enough to catch lightning in a bottle once, don't set it up so that you have to try it again 5 years later. Get the guy who is going to hang around 15-20 years. That's how you build a program. Consistent bowl trips. A string of 7-5 years for IU is better than a random 9-3 followed by a string of 5-7 and 4-8 seasons. You get those patterns when you keep changing coaches. I don’t think any realistic fan expects IU on the playoffs. I would settle for three years in a row of 500 or above football and best case scenario a top 25 team at the end of a season once or twice. I would personally be ecstatic with that.

A bit riskier than say Chryst or Candle. But also more upside imo. I am totally leaning this way as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiderMonkey Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Just found an article indicating that Texas A&M was a little over 3.3 million in NIL for the football program last year and Michigan has NIL collective goal of at least 5 million. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderMonkey Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) So, if Indiana is at 3-3.5 million, that is a pretty solid start and I would think help lure a solid coach. The right coach could definitely entice additional money into the pool also. So, this all sounds promising to showing a commitment to turning the ship around. Might be enough to get a candidate like Herman on board. Edited November 29, 2023 by SpiderMonkey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
