Two other considerations:

Not a good look to hire a guy with baggage when you had to fire the last guy because of “issues”.

Also would not be a good look to open the wallet and make a splashy hire when there is a hiring freeze and layoffs within the last 6 months, and the athletics department is operating at a large deficit, and the University is forced to step in with money because of our quest to be relevant by joining a conference that literally has the other coast in its name.  Even if we can get donors to step up, there will be a lot of resentment amongst the faculty

Going big to throw resources around and try to poach a big-time coach: Matt Campbell, Lance Leipold, Curt Cignetti, Jonathan Smith, Bret Bielema, Scott Satterfield, Dave Doeren, Kenny Dillingham, Willie Fritz, Chris Klieman, PJ Fleck, Mike Locksley, Fran Brown, Barry Odom

Not that it was going to happen, but scratch Cignetti from the list (and from Penn State’s list).

I have a friend who is an IU alumnus. 
I texted him his university would be hitting him up to fund $1mil of the new contract so get his wallet ready. He’s more likely to avoid taking the call.
