why he will be a legend forever in college football. By winning conference title at Indiana and now having them positioned for a deep run in the post season, he just cemented himself in football lore. Kiffin could've done that at Ole Miss but ran from it. Time will tell if it was the right call.
People will look at Cignetti 1 BIG 10 title and forever be more impressed than if he went to Penn State, Ohio State, or Michigan and won 3. Same situation now for Kiffin

Cignetti is a unicorn. I’ve never seen anything remotely like what he’s done at Indiana.
So impressive.
So impressive.

Kiffin is a fraud and people will see when he gets to LSU. He could just as easily get top talent at OM if he tried hard enough but he’s too young and doesn’t have that dawg in him like Cignetti does.

I thought Boise State would forever be the best Cinderella story in CFB. Was wrong.
I’d like to see more chatter around the limitations of recruiting media / grading HS players & the value of a staff who ignores that and actually does their own evals.
IU has not had a class over #15. Yet, they have a Heisman-caliber QB with ice in his veins, TWO running backs that are more violent than Hardy at Mizzou (meant as a compliment), a top tier WR, and a defense full of dudes who hit like Georgia.
I always knew On3 etc had their limits, but now I’m thinking they are entirely full of sh*t when it comes to recognizing under the radar talent (offer list, HS prestige).
Cig deserves more praise for his staff’s evals than perhaps anything else. He is not winning with an untalented team so much as he assembled a deceptively talented roster.

Bama needs to go hard on getting Cignetti at some point.

Coaching matters in an NIL world

And is A+ at coaching them up.
Lots of "great recruiters" out there but almost nobody outside of Kirby and Cignetti can also coach them up.
Very Sabanesque indeed.

The sooner we get him, the better.
Honestly looks like he'll be coaching at least another 10 more years.

Same can be said if Heupel had stayed at UCF and won a Big 12 title.

Still small potatoes unless you win it all now he does that and he will be special.

None of Huepel’s UCF teams would’ve beaten OSU this year.

Loses 18 seniors and his QB. He will be forgotten next year

UCF joined the Big 12 almost 2 years after Heupel left. Are you dumb, stupid, or ignorant? Also Heupel won the AAC and went 12-1 one year at UCF, which now would've meant a playoff spot so not sure your point
Cignetti at power 5 job turned down other offers
Kiffin at power 5 job accepted another job
Heupel at group of 5 job accepted a power 5 job
Bad post from normally a decent poster lol

Only 7 blue chippers on their entire roster and beat both Oregon and Ohio St away from home.
