you laugh, but Fran might be what they need.

I don't see Cignetti leaving. Now that IU has a taste of winning in FB, I can see them opening that checkbook. Mark Cuban probably already been contacted. :pachaha:


I think and can see Cignetti as a darkhorse to Bama for some reason if ya boy flounders. Especially already having coached there under Saban

for context james franklin was making 200k more than cignetti is right now, prob a 2 mill bump in salary to ten mill which will put him in the dan lanning, sarkisian and just behind kirby smart and ryan day would keep him.

in the nil you dont really start over but dude has like a top 5 team in the country and is getting paid 8 mill a year, plus like you mentioned he's 64. Even if he goes to penn state , dude might be coaching for only a few more years
I don't remember any really elite coaches in their 70s in college football, seems like that's around when you start to lose your fastball

To keep it a buck, they really only hired him to divert the attention from the pedo disgrace of the Paterno era. PSU doesn't strike me as hiring a black coach ever. It was a long overdue firing though. The lack of ability to beat any top teams is not going to fly in NCAAF. I do see him landing another job somewhere.

PSU better go all in and hire Curt Cignetti. Dude is a beast. Takes trash teams and makes them contenders.
he was definitely the best candidate available at the time and was the first coach in my lifetime to make Vanderbilt a team to consider.
