@d-b-cooper Yea. I'd say we're a pretty attractive program and didn't have a whole lot of trouble getting someone.
We can’t even get a full 24 hours without the kicks to the nuts starting lol
Go put Shanahan, Haines and Becker in a locked room until the carnage is over
This is a part of winning.
Heupel at Tenn. may not be the best job security looking ahead. Ask our former QB coach.

Unless IU didn’t or couldn’t match the offer or Owings just didn’t like Bloomington, it doesn’t make sense from a football perspective for him to go to an objectively inferior program with an inferior head coach.
@iugradman take this with a grain of salt. People are saying he’s had one foot out the door for awhile. I’d say a 400k bump was just too much.
Yeah, I heard they only wanted ONE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, so they're pulling back on the purse strings. Idiotic post bro.Did IU even try to match the offer? Are they being cheapskates again?
If that's really the case, let him go. Why in the hell would anyone need to be the highest paid at a position. Surely there's more to life than money. The dude is a part of something magical here.I see that he was making ~$950K here and was the 3rd highest paid S&C coach in the country. I bet we had another raise on the table, but at some point he's got to want to be here vs. chasing that last dollar.
$300 or 400k more is big cheese. Don't blame him. Maybe he likes something else about the job too.
Why did Cignetti get a fatter contract? He was already over 10 million a year. He didn't need more. Not much different except what Owings is leaving for is a much bigger increase as far as percentage.
I hope he does well, unless they are playing us or on the verge of stealing a playoff spot from us. Then I hope they all tweak a hammy short term.

Owings is taking all of his assistants with him. Jesus.
@iugradman usually how it works. This isn’t as big of a deal as you think it is. Tennessee is desperate. They are overpaying and they just hired Knowles. This still doesn’t fix the fact heupal on the hot seat. It’s closer to us going all in on Woodson last year. Rumor going around Whitmer is off to the Raiders.
If form follows history, Tennessee defense is going to suck the first two thirds of next year if not more. Doesnt everybody say Knowles defense is so complicated it takes until year two to play it well?
Thank God, maybe now the BBall team will hit more shots ! (sarcasm people).
If men were any more stupid, we would have breed for the extinction of women. Proof yet again that WE are the best thing they have going for them.

It would take a ridiculous amount of money to get me to go to a school where the coach is on the hot seat.
Just look at sunseri. Get a bigger paycheck for 1 year vs a safe job getting a paycheck for multiple years. 🤔
Didn’t Owings & Heupel cross paths (though briefly) at UCF? Like @d-b-cooper said, this is less about money vs. pursuit of another opportunity.
