Coaching salaries are absurd, but hats off to Indiana…

He’s going on 64 years old and isn’t going anywhere. Men in their 60s don’t have to feed their egos by chasing money & prestige. He’ll finish his career in Bloomington.

Its not simply about money, It could be about winning, and creating a legacy for yourself. Cignetti has been overlooked for many years, it could be a personal goal and sign or respect to coach in the SEC. All becuase you are 60 doesn't change this.

Look at Brian Kelly. He left Notre Dame, a place he could easily cruise to 10 wins for the challenge of coaching in the SEC.

At a place like IU, you are limited. Its at an SEC powerhouse you really have a clear path to building a championship level program.

and the commitment they just made to Curt Cignetti and the football program. $8 mil a year for eight years plus $1 mil annual retention bonus.

Guessing folks at IU believe this is their only shot to be a big time program for an extended period.

Way to much.
