he’s not unavailable unless the buyout for him to leave is cost prohibitive

Shiiiiiiitttttt, you think Woodward is opposed to buying out a contract like that then throwing in an even bigger contract for the guy?

They will never get a better coach to go there.
You absolutely lock Cig up for as long as you can.

$15m, so not terrible.
Probably structured like most of them to drop each year too, just have to wait and see.

i assume that's the buyout if indiana were to fire him, but is it different if he leaves? not that he'd ever come to LSU, just curious.
Edit: guess I missed the fully guaranteed part, holy shite. Must be a sexton client

Jimbo Fisher 2.0.
When are colleges going to learn.
I hope it works out for them but this can backfire bigtime.

Guy is in his 60s, may be his last coaching contract.
ETA: he’s 64.

It makes me wonder why he is just now really getting his first power job

Now Florida and Penn State can’t get him either.

Does that kind of sound like the kind of buyout you negotiate to allow your current team to get a little money, but not scare away a serious suitor?
That would be ironic if Penn State went ahead and hired Cignetti anyway.

These contracts are getting out of hand.
8 years?
$93 million?
At Indiana?

IMHO...I HIGHLY doubt he's winning a NC during his tenure there. If that holds true, it will be an absolute horrible contract. If we're being honest, $10m/yr is the kind of $$$$ where anything less than a NC during the contract is FAILURE!

It's Indiana bro. They have different expectations than LSU regardless of the contract.
