Coyle on finding a big fish donor: We’re still in the boat trying to find that big fish. We still have a hook in the water.

Nonsense

A person who is going to give away a bunch of money to a college team, is either going to do it anyway no matter who the AD is or they're going to do it because they believe in the coach and the coach's program.

The AD has really very little to do with it.

Non-sense.

If it truly was Dolson who came up with this radical, genius plan ("hey guys, listen to this! OK, we'll .... go to a rich alumni ... and ask them to buy us a great QB!! I did it! I invented electricity!") ...... then why did he wait until only 2024 to spring it?

Nonsense. He either tried before and failed, or never tried until after the (new) head coach had done the actual work of convincing the wealthy alumni first.

Don't care which it is, both prove you wrong.


You're allowed to stubbornly be wrong, as you are.



It is proven: it's on Fleck to do the main, primary convincing, before Coyle would ever need to do anything.

There was no proof of concept for Hoosier success in football under Cignetti until the 2024 season was in full swing.

The Dolson pitch to Cuban was not until the ND Playoff loss in December 2024. That coincides with Cuban recently no longer having majority ownership of the Mavericks, allowing him more time and resources for other outside interests.

Sure Cignetti had a lot to do with. That's not the same as Dolson having "nothing" to do with it.

Furthermore, Cignetti did not hire himself as HC of Indiana, nor give himself an extension.
 




Minnesota’s athletic budget is 15 of 18 in the Big Ten. I would argue Mark Coyle is currently doing a pretty good job for that ranking. Currently, probably ranks high in the Big Ten for the amount of resources. Comparing him to previous AD’s at MN, he seems quite a bit better.
