Franklin was fired today.  Probably already contacted Cignetti’s agent.  Pat Kraft is the PSU athletic director, ex-IU football player.  I hope he shows some allegiance to his alma mater and looks elsewhere.  Although I know that’s not how these things work.  He’s going to do his job.  Back up the Brinks truck.

I see it a lot like the Dusty May situation last season.  The belief was if he hadn't signed an extension going into the B1G tournament he was a Hoosier.  If so he was obviously staying.  If Cig hasn't signed a big extension heading into the playoffs he gone imo.

Cignetti would be crazy to make that decision. And Cignetti is not crazy.

I don’t know if I could stomach having to play against Cig. I hope Cuban writes him a blank check. We need to at least up our staff salaries. We need to be top 5 in the country in staff compensation with these kinds of results. 

Cuban is close to Dolson and he’s a billionaire.  He already wrote a substantial check to the AD and said we need to do everything we can to continue to build the program.  He’s no dummy.  He knows that football drives the boat.Not worried about the  money.for Cignetti.  They will do everything in their power to keep him.  
ESPN lists him as a candidate along with Rhule and Matt Campbell.  I personally think PSU goes after a guy that can stay for 15 years.

It’s got me worried. Especially since Coach Cig is from Pennsylvania.

I predict Cig retires from IU. He’s building something special and historical. It could be a movie one day. He’ll ride the Hoosier Bison into the Hall of Fame! 😉

He's already got a spot on the IUFB Mount Rushmore, along with Pont, Mallory, and Hep.

I can  almost guarantee you they didn't pay a $50M buyout to hire Ruhle.  That would be like us canning Woody to hire Alford.  They fans would riot.

They have more resources and their facilities are better than ours.   107k fans every game.  They will pursue him.  They can offer a better package on paper.  I am concerned about this one.  It's about the only job I think might tempt him

@dbmhoosier To be fair, IU didn't exactly land a hot commodity. Surely an upgrade, but not "the guy."

@big-red-cb-v-2-0 Rhule is only 50. He has 15-20 years left in him.

@hoosiers94 I’m not worried. Cig will entertain it just because he has too. I’d bet they go with a younger candidate. They may have a hard time getting who they want.

Like with IUBB and Brad Stevens, they have to make the call. Cig will politely decline, and they'll go from there.

I think you meant Pont, Mallory and McMillin.
