Does Cignetti go on the Mt. Rushmore of college football coaches if Indiana wins it all?

The Mount Rushmore of college football coaches is obviously an imaginary monument in the middle of nowhere, and the criteria for selecting the coaches who deserve to be on an imaginary monument in the middle of nowhere is really subjective.

I think that a strong argument could be made for or against.

Saban couldn’t do what he’s doing. Cignetti doesn’t have a Birmingham backing him every step of the way.

Cignetti probably already will be #1 on most of the college football media nerds' off-season lists that we'll see. Kirby has been the near unanimous #1 for two years running. I would have no problem with any list that had Cignetti #1.

Let’s see if he maintains this. The jury is absolutely still out.

If he wins it all this year and again in 2 years at Indiana he absolutely has to go up there.

What he's done is amazing, but let's pump the brakes a bit and see what happens over the next five years or so.

You type this, but I'm supposed to think you "know how this league works"? Or that you know anything at all even?

Was Kirby a good coach? or did he just stockpile all the best players before the NIL era. He really just kind of grinded down inferior teams, then lost to other great teams.
