1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: So you may have heard any news earlier that I

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: used football coach Kurt Signetti just signed a new deal

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: and he is locked up in Bloomington. I'm Jason Hammer,

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: Jim the dude filling in for Big Nightge here, you

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: got the latest.

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Kurt Signetti eight years, eleven point six million

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: dollars per year. This is all being driven by the

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: fact that James Franklin was fired by Penn State. So

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: that means Penn State needs a new coach. And when

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: you're at the level Penn State's at, they need to

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: hire a brand name coach. In the hottest coach in

12
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: all of college football right now is Kurt Signetti. So

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: gave him great leverage to go back to IU and say, hey,

14
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: I need a new deal and I need new money.

15
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: And he certainly got it, and he certainly deserves it.

16
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: I would expect Notre Dames Marcus Freeman to be the

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 2: next guy to get a new fat contract extension because

18
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: his name has been thrown around out there to replace

19
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: James Franklin at Penn State as well.

20
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: Now, Signetti signed an extension not that long ago after

21
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: his initial six and now it's another one with more money.

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: So you're absolutely right. This is the Penn State factor here.

23
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: This tells me Penn State had been calling around, poaching around,

24
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: trying to steal Signetti, and that gave Signetti all the leverage.

25
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, all these coaches love it when a big time

26
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: coach at a big time university gets fired because that

27
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: means wrong getting new contracts, guys, because the Penn State's

28
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: going to be coming after everybody, and I think it's

29
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: gonna be tough for them to pull somebody like Marcus

30
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: Freeman away from Notre Dame. You and I off the air,

31
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: talked a little bit about Lane Kiffin. I think it's

32
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 2: gonna be tough to pull him out of Old Miss.

33
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: I don't know how much Penn State thought about this

34
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: when they fired James Franklin. You always got to be

35
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: thinking about, Okay, we got rid of the guy we

36
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: don't want, but who do we have a reasonable likelihood

37
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:43,919
Speaker 2: of getting.

38
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: And you look at the landscape of college football here,

39
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: there could be other big time job openings at the

40
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: end of the year. If Florida continues to decline, that

41
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: job could be opening up. Who knows what happens with Clemson.

42
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: Clemson's been a disaster last couple of.

43
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: Years, and this was supposed to be their year. I mean,

44
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: this Clemson had, you know, weren't that Clemsons we've seen

45
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: in previous years the last couple of years. Everybody they

46
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: were a preseason top five team. Everybody's like Dabo's got

47
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: his team dialed in. His days could be numbered at

48
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 2: Clemson because that school expects a lot more than what

49
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: they're getting right now.

50
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: So coach Signetti will be locked into Bloomington for the

51
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: long haul here, signing his new extension today,
