  1. As the IU fan resident on this board I am on board with drafting Fisher. Leader of the defense. He was one of the first guys Cig brought over from JMU. Give me D'Angelo Ponds for nickel CB as well. Both of these guys are the definition of Dawg Morgan is looking for.

    I thought Cignetti would leave at first glance.  But his contract has auto escalators in it that can trigger every year.  They are also funded by a mega rich person so I doubt he leaves.

    Mark Cuban money. He isn't going anywhere until he retires.

    There's a much better chance that Cignetti hops to another school eventually than the NFL.  I think the offers will get pretty stupid if his success continues.

    Also Carson Beck is terrible and not a serious NFL prospect.

    Indiana has Mark Cuban money and the largest alumni base in the country. They aren't going to be outbid and he has reached a status at IU he wouldn't get at any other school especially if they win the Championship. I think he retires at IU. I am more surprised his coordinators didn't get HC jobs elsewhere but IU is paying them very well as well.

    IU is a better defensive team than Ole Miss too. 

    The Hoosiers are about as dominant of a team as I have seen in a long, long time.

    IU is the most well coached team I have ever seen. They are meticulous and don't make stupid mistakes. Cignetti is a mad man and I think all he does outside of football is watch tape and he will exploit any weakness in the other team. I am curious why Saban never let him be more than a WR coach at Alabama.  He had to go on his own and coach at Division 2 IUP to get his shot as a HC and has won everywhere since. In the championship game at IU in his second year. He is also a great evaluator of talent. He is able to find guys know one else is looking at and turn them into studs.

    Yea, I was saying to a friend this weekend after beating Oregon that if I was IU's leadership Cignetti wouldn't get off the team plane when it lands in Bloomington until he was LOCKED into a lifelong contract.  There are very few schools that could afford Cignetti's buy out this early in his contract - Penn State is one of them. 

    Indiana has Mark Cuban money. They will be able to match whatever PSU could offer. Stay at IU and become a legend or go to PSU where you're on the chopping block after 2 losses. I would take the first option.

    TBH, right now I am maybe less interested in scouting Mendoza as I am Curt Cignetti.

    Wish he wasn't 64 years old.

    Cignetti was an assistant under Saban for several years at Alabama. He is a great coach that didn't get a big opportunity until he was older. Finally getting to show everyone how good of a coach he is. As an IU fan I hope he stays at IU and becomes a legend leading one of the worst football programs in college football history to national relevance.
