Highly doubt that as any new model would not involve the NCAA in regards to Power 4 schools.

Well they took a below .500 coach who was just fired in Kingsbury

The numbers look good. However he was sack twice and fumbled twice. His 1st pass was right in the hands of a DB but he dropped it. His lack of pocket presence was evident from the get go

You go further back after the Joe Pa issues and after the Florida run and again both are perennial Top 20. Both Penn St and Florida are Top 10-15 jobs. My ultimate point is Cignetti is from Penn and seems to be a competitor with a chip on his shoulder of which I am a fan so IMO might want to show the state what they has passed on previously(Besides IUPUI). If I had to guess, he stays at IU with a nice raise

While that would be the surface answer, I am not sure that is the case today. Both have similar recruiting rankings the last 5 years, Penn St controls a region recruiting wise(albeit a weak region), Penn St currently has better facilities and collectives might lean Penn St. If Cignetti is wanting to win right away and at 64 I would assume that AND I am from the state Florida does not seem like the slam dunk choice over Penn St

Again, unless you are from Penn and have been overlooked for decades in your home state. Florida does not have more money nor better facilities at this point although Florida is finally upgrading the Swamp next season. Current roster wise I would give Fla a slight edge although playing off campus for the next year at least may offset that. My guess is Cignetti would be interested in winning now

Michigan has a ring that will quell the fanbase for a minute

When exactly 3 active coaches actually have a ring, it is truly an unrealistic expectation especially when firing the old and bringing in the new is likely a $100+ million decision

By what metric?

Maybe not if you are from Pennsylvania

The post I responded to was "the majority of coaches who win a title win within the first 5 years". So at that point it is fair to post that none of the current coaches with a title won in the first 5 years. No cherry picking needed

There are exactly 3 active coaches with National Championships. Kirby won in year 6. Day won in year 6. Dabo won in year 9.

If they go 9-4 or 8-5 and Heupel gain a spot on the hot seat it might not turn out to be such a great move

The courts have rendered the NCAA worthless in this matter. The one and only solution is collective bargaining with the players. However, the big boys are reluctant as they like the separation that has occured with the haves and have nots while the little guys are fearful that they will have to dig deeper into their pockets
