Instead of hiring Cignetti when he had the chance, he hired a coach from his former school with no head coaching experience. I am not even in the fire Lebby crowd yet, but this was a major epic fail on Selmons part. His number 1 job is to hire the best coach available that would want our job and he did not do that. As I have mentioned, I am not from Mississippi and do not have connections that most do, but I know for a fact Cignetti would?ve taken our job in 2023 if offered. Now, I think Mark Cubans money is keeping him at IU long term and he may have left us after this year for a blue blood job, but we would not be in this bad of a position if Selmon hired him when he should?ve done so.
Dude had we hired Cignetti every state fan on this forum would have been pissed. His name was never even mentioned in our coaching search and I don't remember his name floating around for any jobs. Indiana found a gem.

Only way we continue to get out of this hole is to continue throwing more and more resources at it and get back to being competitive and showing we are willing to get serious about NIL if that doesn't happen it will not matter who's on the sidelines.
