Big Ten rival should 'try to pry' one of Indiana football coordinators, analyst says
A league rival should try to poach one of Curt Cignetti's coordinators, one analyst suggests, if their head coach gets fired.
According to Sports Illustrated analyst Pat Forde, the Maryland Terrapins should consider attempting to recruit one of Indiana football's coordinators, as both Mike Shanahan and Bryant Haines have been integral to head coach Curt Cignetti's success. The duo, who worked together at James Madison from 2019 to 2023, played a significant role in recruiting top talent for the Hoosiers.
Cignetti's teams consistently outperformed their rivals in the DMV area and eventually claimed the national championship. Shanahan, the offensive coordinator, and Haines, the defensive coordinator, are both in their respective sixth seasons with Cignetti. Both men have shown ambition to become head coaches, which could make them desirable candidates for Maryland, who are currently 2-2 following a 54-3 loss to UCLA.
