BADGERVOL Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 Huge IU hoops fan, been a UT fan since I was 10 living in Fort Wayne but always hope for IU football to turn around. I am so impressed with what Curt has done with such little talent and in such a short time. WOW! there’s even a little chatter on our Vols board about them. His recruiting will keep improving and he can pull more from the portal. He got some legit momentum. Their schedule looks favorable and gosh this is gonna be interesting. hoping for the best for this team and program moving forward and hope he’s a young 63 and is amped to stick around for maybe 7-8 more years! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now is the time IU administration to put your money where your mouth is if you really want IU football to be good. You have to do everything in your power to keep Cig. Give him everything he wants from facilities to raises for him and staff. It’s a smart investment. Colorado applications and enrollment has sky rocketed since Coach Prime has made them relevant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADGERVOL Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 As an outside observer, he’d need to establish himself consistently good for AT LEAST 2-3 years for a bigger program to come calling and that’s IF that school would know they’re hiring him for four years to build their program back and then what? Have him for another 3-4? Plus he has to think that too? I mean the guy isn’t going to coach till 75 right? 😅 my gut says this is his last stop. No one is going to come in and pay him 5-6 million a year after two years of IU rebounding quickly. Just my two cents which is worth a tad less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No major program will try to outbid with huge numbers for his age but you gotta pay him to keep him away from the tier below that. Pay the man, and his staff and KEEP HIM.

IUFLA Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 So looking at the schedule, I think worst case scenario is 8-4...Best case is 11-1... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s crazy to look at, but I think I’d agree. The way I look at it is: Heavy favorites at NW and vs PU Favorites vs Wash and at MSU Toss up / slight favorites vs Neb and vs Mich Underdogs at OSU Getting both Michigan and Nebraska at home is huge. Those are probably the 2 teams on our schedule that are most similar in terms of quality. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kycarter88 Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 If you would have told me 8-4 prior to the season, I’d be ecstatic. Now, I’d say it would be a disappointment to end the season going 3-4. 10-2 or 11-1 is entirely reasonable now. This is a good football team with a chance to be great.

That’s a good start. But that’s far from “the big boys.” He’s making 4.25 million. if he gets to 10 wins (very possible) or 11 with an upset of Michigan… he should get a bump to 7 million plus the 500,000 PLUS another 1.5 million for his staff. plus double whatever their recruiting budget it… because I know without looking it isn’t in the top half of the big ten which is chump change compared to the SEC… PLUS he should have a seat at the table for any discussions for major renovations of facilities starting immediately. this is a coach potentially that an IU has a shot at once every 40-50 years. this is borderline blank check time. Virtually anything he wants within reason he should get. OR the administrators are saying “a good FB team is super fun, but NOT a priority.” it’s that simple. 7,000,000 is modest IF the coach you have you believe can take your program to places it’s never been. Don’t split hairs over a million. PAY. UP. i agree the contract should be $500,000 if he gets to 6 wins. So if he gets to 10 you tear that sucker up and blow the doors off. Make a statement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
