Michigan State (0-4, 3-4) at #3 Indiana (4-0, 7-0) Post Game

This is a pick your score game for Indiana.  Sometimes this might be a letdown spot, but I don't think MSU is good enough to take advantage, and Cignetti doesn't seem the type prone to a letdown.

Probably just showcasing how dumb rating the hires is, when done at the time.  These two were part of the same hiring class, and I'm guessing everyone rated MSU's hire as better

Indiana 45, Michigan State 14

8 year extension for Cignetti, making him the 3rd highest paid coach in the sport

I'm just gonna sit here hoping that he was actually just a flash in the pan, and will fizzle out and saddle them with a massive buyout when they fire him--or keep him because he's actually mediocre rather than outright sucky, but is too expensive to fire. 

I'm a little bit worried he's the real deal, though...

well, if he can cash those large checks and still win, that'll be the test.

Expecting to win is a very strange feeling. Even in the “good” years I never felt comfortable going into an IU football game, even against an FCS team.

Someone made the point on IU’s 247 football page the other day that we are bowl eligible and no one even really seemed to notice. In years past that would’ve been cause for major celebration. This year everyone is focused on the playoffs. So strange.

they got that Mark Cuban money....

his buyout is now $93 million fully guaranteed however. yikes. 

i think the dude is a rockstar stud coach- but anything can happen in cfb and that's a shit ton of cash to fully guarantee.

Michigan, OSU, and Penn State ARE DONE - Indiana Is The New Top Dog Of The Big 10 After Hiring JMU's Head Coach Curt Cignetti
Great find my bent Michigan coorespondent I like the comments


"I can't laugh long enough or loud enough at this post..."

"The number of people in the comments that just can’t grasp the concept of satire is astounding…. Can all of you people vote..?"

"Indiana? You've got to be joking. They could hire Jesus Christ and still not compete against those schools"

"As a long suffering IU I can confirm that Indiana will fuck this up"

"Guy can't even beat NDSU, yawn"

What's the worse that can happen? He flames out and Indiana sucks? Literally all options besides giving him whatever money he wants would lead to that.
