Maroon Baboon

I don't remember many on this board having him as their choice back then. Lots of names being thrown around back then though. Did anyone have him on their short list back then? I didn't. But then again, it wasn't my (our) job to know. The people who picked Fuente and Pry, and missed out on Cignetti will be gone. But getting him now is a nonstarter. We should have bought Apple stock in 2003 for pennies. Now, it's about $250 a share. He'd be out of our price range now. Yeah. Cignetti either stays at IU, or goes to the blue blood that is the highest bidder.

A question we should have asked in 2021 but were too busy telling ourselves -- Hokiefied Sep 21, 2025 at 09:48 PM ET

I assume he didn't even get a phone call. At least VT got an aw shucks guy.** -- reestuart Sep 22, 2025 at 11:21 AM ET

Why would he leave Indiana/BIg 10 to come here?** -- VAHokie89 Sep 21, 2025 at 08:22 PM ET

Love to have him, but why would he leave a P2 school?** -- Stech Sep 21, 2025 at 05:39 PM ET

He was the pick last time if he wanted it...such a bad decision on Tech's -- fnhokie Sep 21, 2025 at 04:32 PM ET

At this point, I’m not concerned about coaching longevity -- Marooned Sep 21, 2025 at 11:11 PM ET

I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t replace the likes of DeBoer at Bama soon -- Zanderhokie Sep 21, 2025 at 04:36 PM ET

Zanderhokie • 09/21/25 04:36 PM ET

He was right when he said to google him. He wins.** -- reestuart Sep 22, 2025 at 01:03 PM ET

reestuart • 09/22/25 01:03 PM ET

Main reason is he’s way out of our price range now. -- Zanderhokie Sep 21, 2025 at 04:24 PM ET

Zanderhokie • 09/21/25 04:24 PM ET

He already makes $8 Million a year with a current $13 Million buyout -- HokieBrew4U Sep 21, 2025 at 10:24 PM ET

HokieBrew4U • 09/21/25 10:24 PM ET

It’s not just the $$$ for coach salaries. ** -- marcbvtgm Sep 21, 2025 at 06:09 PM ET

marcbvtgm • 09/21/25 06:09 PM ET

Shoulda got him last time...no way we get him now** -- fnhokie Sep 21, 2025 at 04:09 PM ET

fnhokie • 09/21/25 04:09 PM ET

So we had a shot at Cignetti, Shane, and Charlie Huff last time -- Sunsetunderground Sep 21, 2025 at 04:16 PM ET

Sunsetunderground • 09/21/25 04:16 PM ET

I’m not sure how much any of those guys wanted to come to Blacksburg. -- Zanderhokie Sep 21, 2025 at 04:30 PM ET

Zanderhokie • 09/21/25 04:30 PM ET

I never liked the Pry hire mainly as I knew nothing about him and -- fnhokie Sep 21, 2025 at 04:23 PM ET
