Guess he ain’t coming.

Will be interesting if he can truly build something there.

He will be the next Urban Meyer or Mel Tucker, there will be no in between.

 

[jteten]

So far so good.

Damn, the Huskers would do that if we could find a coach that could squeak above 500 mark.

And with vocal support from people who love to reward half-assery. I remember complaining loudly about Scott Frost’s first extension and getting finger-wagged by the resident SuperFans.

Make no mistake, Cignetti has done a tremendous job. With this extension he’s going to have the ‘power’ to start demanding additional investment in the football program. This is a basketball school, however, perhaps still could be labeled a’ ‘Blue Blood’. It will be interesting to see how this dynamic plays out. I can assure you that basketball boosters will protect their turf or should I say, court side seats.

It’s going to be interesting to see what happens when he doesn’t have all the JMU transfers. He brought a top 25 team with him. Will he be able to keep it rolling and replace those guys with similar quality players? To be determined.

Sure, but Cignetti successfully recruited those guys twice. It’s not like someone else built this roster for him.

They’re not going to be blue blood until they have years of football dominance. Just stop.

You stop! lol, blue blood in basketball JD.

You stop! lol, blue blood in basketball JD.

The same “blue blood” that went 0-3 against the Huskers on the court last year? Last NC was 1987. I think we can pass on Indiana now.

This extension is basically Rhule’s contract - 8yrs, $8M avg annual salary with a $1M annual retention bonus

Except Cig earned it

The market dictated what Rhule could demand. “Earned” is a funny thing. Some guys earn it with results. Some guys have all the leverage and earned it by being able to say “no thanks”

Guess he ain’t coming.

His agent is the MVP! Way to cash in on a lightning in a bottle year! Cignetti is going to get paid!
