Update on $93 million head coach's college football future emerges amid NFL rumors

Curt Cignetti, head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers, is the subject of rumors regarding potential interest from NFL teams seeking new head coaches. Cignetti, who has led Indiana to two College Football Playoff appearances and signed a $93 million contract extension, has expressed his intention to remain with Indiana, stating he plans to retire as a Hoosier. At 64, Cignetti would be the second-oldest NFL head coach if he made the transition. His coaching career began at age 50, with stints at Division II Indiana University of Pennsylvania, FCS Elon, and James Madison before joining Indiana. Cignetti's record stands at 144-37, including a 25-2 record at Indiana, where he achieved the school's first 10-win seasons. Despite NFL interest, his age, contract, and current success at Indiana suggest he may not pursue an NFL career.
