They spent $50,000,000 on a rebuild.

That's it.....that's the list.

Just wait until they spend a quarter billion dollars cumulatively by year 3. You will rue that day! RUE!

Correct, but there are a few more on our schedule. If we end up losing to all of them then we can talk about how bad Lane Kiffin is, but christ....Brian Kelly could have gone 11-1 with Indiana's schedule in 2024.

Oh, I thought we were talking about year 1......Nobody denies that Cignetti is an elite coach, but it's more than disingenuous to try to compare LSU's schedule this year to Indiana's 2024 schedule.

Fair enough, but now we're comparing apples to oranges.

At least wait until the lose 3 games and can’t make the playoffs. Classic case of celebrating too early

Surely Indiana spent upward of 50 million on their roster and coaching salaries... Right?

Cignetti is a better coach than Kiffin.

What did Sark do in year 1? That's probably a little more comparable.
