Fire Pete Carroll

[RenoRaiders75]

I didn't see a thread yet, I wanted Pete to be able to stay a few years to rebuild us back, but it is clear to me that he is clueless on how to fix what is broken. We have made the same mistakes every week, with no corrections. He has to go! Thoughts?

I almost think we should fire him before the last game in case he tries to screw us over by going for the win.

Thornton had fcking 29 targets this year from the worst QB in the league. Anyone that thinks they can properly evaluate him based on that is clueless. And I'm not even a Thornton fan. Was he a wasted pick? Probably. But we can't determine if he's any good yet.

He has to be developed. We have no idea what his potential is. Pete drafted him because he saw something. But fir Pete and so goes another draft because the next coach will have his own vision.

He doesn't realize that he's in the 10 percentile that rides the short bus.

So whats the deal with AOC, why was he never activated again this season, prior to these last 2 games?

I get the impression that the same trolls keep reincarnating themselves under new screen names.

Thornton was always going to be a project. Anointing him early because of a few plays in camp and his HWS combo was always a reach. Giving up on him early is still a mistake. Not many WRs flourish early in their careers, especially with subpar QB play. He's worth trying to develop, but if a turning point happens it's likely not until 2027.

Cignetti Triggers ‘Good Faith Market Review’ With Rose Bowl Win

Indiana’s Rose Bowl win over Alabama triggered a clause in coach Curt Cignetti’s contract that should earn him at least a $1 million raise after an offseason meeting with university brass.

Cignetti makes $11.6 million per year on a contract that requires a “good faith market review” whenever Indiana makes the College Football Playoff semifinals, which the Hoosiers did with their blowout win over the Crimson Tide on Thursday. If Indiana doesn’t offer him a top-three salary as part of that review, then he’s off the hook for his entire buyout. Ohio State’s Ryan Day currently has the third-highest known coaching salary at $12.5 million.

In just two years with the Hoosiers, Cignetti has turned one of college football’s bottom dwellers into a national powerhouse. Indiana has repeatedly shelled out to make sure Cignetti stays.

His first contract paid $4.5 million annually. The school redid his contract in November 2024 to pay him $8 million a year, and reworked another extension in October to pay $11.6 million per year over eight years. That had him in college football’s top three before Lane Kiffin’s new seven-year, $91 million contract with LSU, which surpassed both Day’s deal and Kirby Smart’s $13.3 million annual salary at Georgia.

Despite being historically known as a basketball school, Indiana has gradually increased its spending in football in recent years, and Cignetti’s contract ensures that continues.

The “good faith market review” clause in Cignetti’s October deal, triggered by Thursday’s win, requires the sides to meet within 120 days after the Hoosiers’ Playoff run ends and adjust his salary to “no less than third (3rd) amongst active head coaches at institutions which are eligible to compete for the CFP,” according to the term sheet, which was reviewed by Front Office Sports. The language also accounts for possible tweaks to the CFP, such as expansion.

The “fair market review” means that Cignetti could leave without owing any of his $15 million buyout if the sides fail to reach a deal and Indiana doesn’t offer a top-three salary by annual value. The clause also says that the two sides could seek “an independent valuation expert to assist with determining market valuations”; the expert’s conclusion would be nonbinding.

The contractually obligated reviews also extend to Cignetti’s coaching staff and program support. Indiana has to engage in a review if the football team’s staff pool ever drops out of the top five in the Big Ten or the top ten nationally “based on agreed-upon market data.”

Cignetti can earn other performance-based bonuses in the CFP. If he beats the Ducks next week, his CFP bonus will be at least $1 million; that bonus maxes out with $2 million for a national title, according to the term sheet.

Look at your summer predictions and you said the raiders would win only 2 games (who are you)
