Could Curt Cignetti draw NFL interest?
NBC Sports••sports
Key Points:
- Curt Cignetti, in his second season at Indiana, has led the Hoosiers to unprecedented football success, triggering a contract clause for a "fair market review" within 120 days of the final game.
- If Indiana doesn't offer Cignetti a top-three annual salary among college coaches, he can leave without a $15 million buyout penalty, raising questions about NFL interest in hiring him despite the high buyout.
- Though Cignetti is not currently a serious candidate for NFL vacancies like the Titans or Giants, some teams may consider him if fully convinced to pay both the buyout and his current $11.6 million-plus salary.
- At 64, with no NFL coaching experience and only two seasons at the college level
