so in this case, probably.

The more I stew about IU and Cignetti, the more I think about where he could have ended up.

I'm not sure there are many places other than IU he could have gone and done this. What sort of brings this on is the thought we all have of "why not us?" For us it's timing. But also think about the absolute rage we would have as a fanbase if we had hired JMU's head coach. All the "We're so small time" crowd would be post-coital. Luckily, or unluckily, we were never an option simply because of timing.

Just looking at what jobs were open in the 2024 carousel. There were 5 jobs in the B1G that year alone, but I think only MSU was another viable alternative to IU. If I'm a Spartan fan, I'm way more upset. SEC jobs, Alabama was open but there's no way on earth Alabama his hiring Cignetti, unless their AD has a time machine. Yes, I know he was on Saban's staff... they were only ever going to hire a top-shelf guy, and the guy they selected had just played in the national title game. Maybe Mississippi State? That feels like it could have been a viable option. That's a fan base that supports their team despite no real reason to do so. Then you look at ACC and Big 12 jobs, I have to imagine at Cignetti's age he didn't want to go to an ACC school. He's a smart guy, he can read the tea leaves on the ACC being flawed. Maybe if he's in his early 50s and has one more move in him, but in his mid-60s if he was gonna do this, it really had to be B1G or SEC, with maybe a Big 12 move. Realistically he needed a flawed Big Ten or SEC school for his last stop. Realistically I think we're talking about this crazy story that will end up a movie being set in Bloomington, East Lansing, or Starkville.

Ultimately, it's a 100 year flood... a pandemic... Haley's Comet...

We are talking about a once in a lifetime occurrence here. Unprecedented. Never to happen again.

There's no rhyme or reason for why it's working... it's just the perfect confluence of circumstance in so many ways.

You hear me talking, hillbilly boy?

Could someone who knows more than me explain what exactly IU has done to make this happen?

For starters they landed Mendoza, who was a highly ranked transfer and it looks like they really aced that evaluation, dude looks like the real deal. Okay.

Then they have a bunch of JMU transfers, great, is that winning with 3 stars? (Or fewer?) Maybe they have lighting in a bottle but that doesn’t seem repeatable. I’m skeptical even that lining up JMU transfers agaisnt tOSU blue chippers and winning is actually what I’m watching. Is it? It just doesn’t make sense.

Does Cignetti truly coach normal guys in a way that they exceed their talent level? Or is this a decided schematic advantage thing?

What else? I know enough about college football to know that what they’ve done is absurd, but I don’t really understand the specifics and the how.

...and it will nullify the effect. I think OB25 is accurate, his success in the portal isn't chasing former Rivals250 kids who can't break the lineup at an SEC school. He's pulling kids who played a lot. A lot like our 2001 team was just OLD and played a lot of shitty to mid football in the previous 3 years. He's got "kids" who have a lot of real-time reps. Now the other part of that is getting the blend right. The players have to be complementary to each other. You can't just pull a bunch of kids who have 30+ starts at multiple levels. I have to think there's an element of Moneyball that he's getting right.

I come back to the quality of life thing too. I never played football, but I do know that IRL you can "work a little bit harder" yourself to death. Didn't get this right? Work a little bit harder. Caught a bad break completely out of your control? Work a little harder to overcome it. I wonder in this case if that creeping extra work just leads to burnout and diminisehd performance... both from the staff and the players.

If it's true, and it does yeild better results, it's going to become commonplace. And if it becomes commonplace, then there will be some other flank to the strategy.

That's why I'm not all that upset about it

I mean, this is what it takes for a program like IU or UI to have a shot at a natty in football. Could Bret build us up to a point where we get into the playoffs? Sure. To the point where we could actually win it? Seems like that's less likely than what IU did here, really.

It's kind of like what Craig Tiley did in tennis, was hired to run the facility at UIUC, then became the coach, brought in some amazing talent and won it all.

I don't think you can really compare the jobs guys have done in the current NIL/portal era to anything that came before. Coaches simply didn't have the ability to completely replace a roster all at once. It used to take several years to do it, and you didn't have NIL to entice recruits/college players with, either. It was a much slower, longer grind to turn a program.

We saw it this year with our own fans, where Bert’s rebuild that has led to Illinois winning 8+ regular season games in 3 of the last 4 seasons was being viewed in comparison to what Indiana is doing.

And every new coach at a P5 job is going to have a portion of their fanbase thinking that what Cignetti did will be possible for them again.

It’s never going to happen again. Not for us, not for any other program. And as great as Cignetti clearly is, no coach is this good. Indiana will remain way better than they have any right to be as long as there, but I have to believe that this was a once in a million roster from an evaluation/development standpoint too. A team full of 3 star or below players should never be able to compete athletically and in the trenches with Ohio State and Oregon like they did this year. It defies all logic.

Specifically about their d-line. Did they just get ridiculously lucky with diamonds in the rough? Did they do really well on the transfer market? Maybe OSU actually isnt that great?

Good coaching can explain a lot of their success, but they also passed the eye test—their on field talent on the D-line looked top tier, which is not something you almost ever see at a non-blue blood program.

that is helping create parity more than anything.

the B1G championship game in 2015, featuring MSU and Iowa in an absolute rock fight including a 22 play possession by MSU in the 4th quarter had 22 possessions in it.

the last time OSU won a B1G championship game before the clock rules changed was in 2020 and featured 24 possessions. After 18 possessions the score in that game was only 13-10 Ohio State. They went on to win by 12 points.

the clock rules are the explanation for the parity. it's more important than NIL or the transfer portal.

He's clearly a very good coach, and I think they'll settle as a top half of the conference team while he's there, but they're not going to overcome the recruiting of Ohio State, Oregon, U$C, Michigan, and others.

Obviously high school recruiting is far less important in the NIL/transfer portal era, but the schools with the resources to throw at high school recruits also have the resources to throw at NIL/transfers. I don't think IU can keep up with that long-term.

Cignetti focused on transfers that have played football. i think their txfer portal was in the Top 3 in the country in total snaps played. something like that. Even Mendoza was not some huge name when they got him, he was solid at Cal but Cal was moving on from him for that FR they have. the really good C (Coogan) they took from Notre Dame after starting for 2 years was going to get beat out by a younger guy. guys like that.

teams are much better off getting guys that actually played football in the portal vs the high 4* guy that couldn't find the field in the SEC.

I mean, no duh... he's figured something out. But it has to be disruptive. There was one thing he did say recently, I don't know if it's a clue. I don't know how unique it is. But he was talking about how he was able to keep his assistants with him. And part of the reason he's able to do that, in his words, is because they actually apparently are allowed to have lives? He's keeps his practices pretty efficient. He expects people to work when they're working. What I read into it is 1) he keeps his players fresh by not working them to death in practice and 2) work-life balance keeps his staff happy and productive. Maybe that's a new trend? I dunno. Short of him having some secret AI model where he can just feed in video and have it spit out a fool-proof gameplan, I just can't imagine you can X & O your way to a national title with a bunch of even VOR players.

While it’s one of the best G6 jobs, it’s still a G6 job, so you’re either hiring other G6 HC’s who are doing well, or a P4 coordinator.

Mack’s resume seems right in line for what Tulane can do unless I’m missing something.

So it’s not that there’s great candidates out there, I’ve lamented that this is likely to be a year when we’d have to dig deeper for a lesser quality candidate.

It’s that other schools without our recent track record of success are beating us to the better candidates.

UGA going after damages from a transfer

Sign o' the times....

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/47212583/georgia-seeks-390k-de-damon-wilson-transfer-damages

Georgia's athletic department is headed to court to try to obtain $390,000 in damages from a former standout defensive end who transferred from the school after his sophomore season in a potentially precedent-setting case.

The Bulldogs have asked a judge to force former defensive end Damon Wilson, currently the top pass rusher on Missouri's defensive line, to enter into arbitration to settle a clause in his former contract that serves effectively as a buyout fee for exiting his deal early. Wilson played for Georgia as a freshman and sophomore before transferring to Missouri in January, two weeks after signing a new deal with Georgia's Classic City Collective.

Many schools and collectives have started to include "liquidated damages" clauses in their contracts with athletes to protect their investment in players and deter transfers. Georgia is one of the first programs to publicly try to enforce the clause by filing suit against a player.

"When the University of Georgia Athletic Association enters binding agreements with student-athletes, we honor our commitments and expect student-athletes to do the same," athletics spokesman Steven Drummond said in a statement to ESPN on Friday afternoon.

...his future is absolutely white hot, but things can break badly by waiting (and things can also break badly by acting, I acknowledge).

If he just wants to stay in the NFL, absolutely, great choice... but a HC gig at a P4 school that would assuredly give him resources seems like a position you wouldn't pass up...

If he didn’t have the history I’m not sure this would be a discussion from either direction.

But it’s a P4 job outside the SEC and Big Ten and not like BYU level. Campbell is leaving because he was frustrated with the resources at times.

He can probably get a bigger immediate payday now but if he ends up winning 5 games for 4 years that puts a wrench into his career trajectory. It’s a pretty tough job imo.

And the NFL path seems a lot cushier without having to deal with recruits, portal, NIL, donors, academics.

All salient points... most guys don't get the option to get their first HC gig at a P4 school at all

If he can get the Rams OC job this offseason I think that’s definitely a cushy job to where he can choose what job he wants to leave for.

Depends on how hot a name LaFleur this offseason

We can ruin him here in AZ...

Possibly with the Rams if LaFleur moves on.

If he gets the Rams job that’s almost a guarantee of a NFL HC job at some point.

I could see him making either decision but he left college football to go to the NFL in the first place. My guess his goal is to get that NFL job and he’s highly regarded in those circles.

But maybe Iowa State can convince him. I hope he succeeds wherever he goes and maybe he’s a good choice to succeed Bret.

He's waiting out Bret for a return to the Beloved.*

He’s probably making $1mm a year in a cushy NFL job with a really bright future ahead of him.

On the other hand, he could probably make $30mm just on his initial contract with Iowa State.

That’s a huge difference in money, but also a huge difference in risk/reward.

I’d probably stay put, but college coaches are a different breed.

The way you are, it's not your fault, you knew that
The way we were, so young and caught up in it

yeah he's in line for an NFL head coaching job in a few years*

and a combined 4-17 against Michigan/OSU (with 3 of those wins coming against mediocre Michigan teams).

Yeah, he consistently had them in the conversation, but there was more than enough evidence that he had reached his ceiling, barring a switch flipping like Mack Brown at Texas (who was similarly bad against elite competition until he finally broke through in 2005).

All that said, if you're going to make a move, have a plan.

I don’t think he’s the sole reason they lost a lot of big games. He was going to get enough talent to keep you in the top 5 in the Big Ten most seasons with realistic shots at the playoffs and every now and then be a contender. They made a huge mistake.

Ohio st is a guaranteed loss for literally just about everyone in the country. They haven't played Michigan since 2023. By no means would i call this current/future version with no Harbaugh a guaranteed loss going forward.

it's always really backward looking. what is so special about Clemson vs South Carolina that they would have their late 10s run under Dabo instead of South Carolina? What was so special about FSU under Bowden that isn't special about them now? if Saban takes the Tennessee job in 2009 instead of Bama, we would talk about how Tennessee is one of the all time best jobs and Bama is just an afterthought that will never recapture the days of Bear Bryant.

PSU is a tremendous job but the reality is there are like 5 or 6 coaches at any one time that can sustain high level championship success and Franklin wasn't one of them. and 5 or 6 might be overselling it. if PSU gets on of those 5 or 6 guys, they are off to the races.

This is not Nebraska or some other bygone power. They have both the history, resources, recruiting base, and recent success to remain in the top echelon (where they in fact have remained, all credit to Franklin). Michigan hadn't won a title since 1997 and had a decade+ of mediocrity before Harbaugh took over. Nobody questioned their place before they won it all two years ago.

Yes, Franklin kept them in the conversation. But it seemed pretty clear he wouldn't get them over the hump.

Charlie Weis hired as an assistant at LSU. (Okay, okay: it's Charlie Weis Jr.)

Posted by osklister <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=osklister' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on December 2, 2025, 11:29:40, in reply to "Poldark's college football coaching carousel RUMOR "

New LSU football head coach Lane Kiffin has officially brought six assistants with him to Baton Rouge from Ole Miss.

That contingent of coaches is headlined by offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr., who will serve in the same role at LSU. Per his term sheet that the Daily Advertiser obtained Monday night, Weis agreed to a three-year, $6 million deal. By the end of his contract, Weis will make $2.1 million in 2028, making him one of the highest paid assistant coaches in college football.

The Daily Advertiser also obtained term sheets for Kiffin's five other assistants that followed him from Oxford, Mississippi, to LSU, including Joe Cox, George McDonald, Sawyer Jordan, Nick Savage and Mike Williams.

Savage, head strength and conditioning coach, and McDonald, wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator, are set to $800,000 in their first seasons with the Tigers and then receive a pay bump to $850,000 for their second years on their deals.

Cox, who will serve as co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach under Kiffin at LSU, signed a two-year, $1.6 million deal.

https://collegefootballplayoff.com/sports/2016/10/24/selection-committee-protocol

PRINCIPLES
The committee will select the teams using a process that distinguishes among otherwise comparable teams by considering:
Strength of schedule,
- Head-to-head competition,
- Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory), and,
- Other relevant factors such as unavailability of key players and coaches that may have affected a team’s performance during the season or likely will affect its postseason performance.

---

Losing a head coach + 6 assistants might affect a team's performance in the postseason?

You just know they want to get a 3 loss Texas and a potential 3 loss Alabama (who is probably in anyway by making it to the SEC championship game) into the playoff.

Auburn, Florida, UCLA, Arkansas all just hiring the G5 coaches whose teams had the best record this season.

Just like Florida did with Napier and FSU did with Norvell. Or VaTech with Fuentes. Or Auburn with Harsin. Or Texas with Herman. Or Tennessee with Butch Jones.

Go find the next stud coach that is an OC/DC somewhere, give someone like Dan Mullen another run at it - take a chance on something. G5 performance is such a crapshoot and often just depends on if you lucked into a great QB or not. And the Tulane and JMU guys didn’t even build their programs.

Cignetti took 12 coaches / staff members and 13 players (1 4* & 12 3*) from JMU to Indiana. That's quite a bit to replace.

In year 2, Chesney has JMU with a shot at a CFP bid as the 5 highest ranked conference champions get automatic bids. If JMU wins the SunBelt (as a 22.5 point favorite) and 7-5 Duke wins the ACC (as a 3.5 point underdog), there's a good chance the 5 automatic conference champion bids go to:

IN:
B1G: 13-0 tOSU or Indiana
SEC: 12-1 Georgia or 11-2 Alabama
BIG 12: 12-1 Texas Tech or BYU
American: 12-1 North Texas or 11-2 Tulane
SunBelt: 12-1 James Madison (with a win over 8-5 Troy)

OUT:
ACC: 8-5 Duke (with a win over 10-3 Virginia)

By the computers (SP+) JMU is #24 while Duke is #53.

Of course, all bets are off if Virginia beats Duke.

Plus, in today’s new world, financial parity is here. Florida can’t go poach any non-Alabama or Ohio state coach they want. Clark Lea is getting the bag from vandy. Cignetti is getting the bag from IU.

Easier said than done, and I certainly didn't grasp it initially, but what nobody could've understood before we saw it first hand is how perfect a fit Bielema is for Illinois... when is the last time we could say that in our football program? I doubt many of us were alive.

Even Mike White was a California guy who needed a 2nd chance to rehab his image, and Illinois offered that... but he wasn't the best fit... Bielema embodies Illinois football... we just didn't know it before.

You hear me talking, hillbilly boy?

luck and timing play a much bigger role in this than anyone wants to admit

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2025/11/30/florida-football-hiring-jon-sumrall-tulane-coach-contract/87537268007/

Florida football is hiring Tulane's Jon Sumrall as its next head coach, the school announced Sunday, Nov. 30.

Sumrall, in his second season at Tulane, has the Green Wave at 10-2 this season and in contention for a College Football Playoff berth. No. 23 Tulane (No. 24 in CFP) plays No. 22 North Texas in the American Conference championship game on Friday, Dec. 5, with the winner having a strong shot at reaching the 12-team bracket.

"The University of Florida is one of the premier programs in college football, and it's an incredible honor to serve as the head football coach," Sumrall said in the announcement. "I believe in building a team rooted in toughness, accountability and a relentless competitive spirit. Florida has everything necessary to compete at the highest level — the resources, the support, the tradition and the passion of Gator Nation. My family and I are excited to get to work."

They did go 6-1 in the other year, but that was also the COVID year that seems to have produced a bunch of weird one-off seasons.

I think he's a good coach but his really successful run at Northwestern is basically a lifetime ago at this point in a totally different college football environment.

Kind of seems like he can take his pick of those gigs.

If Tulane wins as a 4 TD favorite today, they’ll host the AAC Championship and if they win that, will head to the CFP.

My guess is they would not have Sumrall coach either of those games, based on what happened when Fritz left.

Going to a middling BT offensive coordinator would be a giant step in the wrong direction.
