Leonhard didn't get a lot of play in any of the jobs that have opened so far. Kind of interesting.
I've heard he doesn't interview well - meaning, presenting a grand vision and how he wants to build things. I think it's what kept him at Wisconsin so long, kept him from getting that job, and is still his issue.

Cignetti is a good coach but going from a place where your facilities and resources are head and shoulders above everybody else you play to a bottom 5 job in the Big Ten seems like it's not going to work out so well. Plus, what is Indiana doing hiring a 62 year old head coach?

Makes sense. Not everyone is cut out to be a head coach. He’s also still pretty young, I think.

Really thought Jason Candle would have been more of an option for Indiana

Saw this, but couldn't find any corroborating sources.

If true, that would be a MASSIVE win for Houston.

I had assumed he'd be out of their reach.
He would be a disaster at UH and UH probably realizes that as well as they are now focusing on Fritz, Odom and Traylor according to Football Scoop.

I'm not. I kinda mentioned the thoughts on Candle.

But regarding Cignetti, IMO, Indiana has potential. Is it going to compete for league titles? Most likely not. But its got 3 million in NIL now, supposedly investment coming in - pressure is low, money is high, and expectations are bowl games not league titles.

Also, Indiana football may or may not look different if things work out different with Hoeppner. I could be wrong but I really feel like he had Indiana football on fairly solid footing because his health failed.

Fritz was openly pissed about the Tulane AD hire so I'm guessing he'd be more than willing to jump and he'll do well there but AGAIN, he's 62 years old.

If Houston doesn't make a hiring announcement here today or tomorrow then I'm guessing they are waiting until after Tulane plays in the AAC Championship game Saturday to make the announcement that it is Fritz.
